damn gotunk grats 543kg no joke at all. especially impressed by that huuuge deadlift. squat 200+kg next time gogogogo
finally got a form check video
88kg/195lb x5 squat.went from 210 - 195 because of knee pain. went down to where my glutes started feeling stretch, gotta go lower. trying to fix form.
funkie : good to know that there aren't many major problems in my squat. why was the second rep so good though? i seemed to be more balanced on the way down and fluent on the way up, but i'm not quite sure why the second rep was much better than 1 and 3.

The key to watch for here is bar path. You'll notice that on your first and third reps, tracing the bar path yields kind of a "J" shape, as you tip forward ever so slightly at the bottom of the squat. This J needs to be a straight vertical line, which it is in the second rep. You've probably heard this cue a thousand times before, but I'll repeat it; think about sitting back into a chair to get the desired bar path. This will also allow you to get all the way to parallel, which you're just barely missing.

edit: Oh yeah, this morning I did 100 reps of squat again, this time with weights under my heels, and I must say my form was pretty damn good all the way. And afterwards I went upstairs and did 10 chinups for the first time in my life.
Fuck. Yeah.

10 chin ups? Nice work! :D
It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.
Went by a store recommended to me on my way home. Got myself some bitching lifter shoes. Adidas power perfect 2, was between them and a pair that are apparently officially sponsored for the olympics but they were like twice as expensive and I don't think I'm at the level where it'd make a difference.
Can't wait to try them out, they felt great in the store ^^

I love how a single good session at the gym and make your day from 'I should floss babyfaces with barbwire' to 'Even my whiny mother seems to be shitting rainbows today'.

Get a pair of powerlifting Wrist Wraps, and you can get back into training asap unless you broke a bone or something. They are like having a new pair of tendons.
Gotunk could you send me a link to the wrist wraps you are talking about? Thanks man
