Good stuff Michael. You said you didn't feel much in the triceps when doing CG bench, I used to have that problem too. Make sure your elbows are tucked in as close as possible when you go down and push back up, that was my problem at least. Also, do a few more warmup sets for the elbows as well. One set really might not be enough. I'm liking the workouts though!

I altered my form a bit today and it felt much better, I used a wider grip, stayed over the bar and had my toes pointed straight forward instead of 15-20 degrees to the sides like I usually did. Still feels pretty light, I can't wait to lift some heavy ass weight! Overhead press was pretty light too, but I still really felt it in the shoulders and triceps.

Awesome workout, squats are getting heavier and my flexibility is getting better and better. I'm still not used to having the bar behind the clavicles so it hurts a bit, but it's no big deal. I tried what phabrizi told me on the CGBPs, and it felt much better. Thanks man!

Why do you find it bad? Havn't you got a pad there?
Pad for what? You dont put a pad on a clean or snatch. Besides that you dont mess around with oly lifts unless you know exactly what your doing and your doing it right.

It's just the type of pain you get in your traps the first few times you do back squats. I experienced this before, and it went away with time, I'm sure it will this time as well.
