Guess that would be the only way when going over 120kg. Overhand just cannot keep hold. RDLs will be a staple on my leg days from now on again. Normal deads still on back days.

Thanks, it's good to hear. I suffer from back issues occasionally, nothing hectic but I'm sure this will help.
Do SS+GOMAD and skateboard squats for your back.
You gotta eat big to get big!
In non-bodybuilder-ese?
I don't want to get big, I want to use weight training to aid fat loss.

Speaking of glutes. Weighted glute bridges. Extremely underrated exercise. Look a bit silly doing em...but won't argue the results.

SS is starting strenght which is legitimate advice to help you with form and a good program to start with, the GOMAD part is more of a joke on /fit/ and the skateboard squats is also a joke, soz if you lurk on /fit/ long enough you tend to think like an autist

Interesting article about the bench press for those interested:
http://www.t-nation.com/training/6-heavy-bench-press-lessons
The 6 points summed up are:
1. Raw bench press strength is highly correlated with shoulder size and strength.
2. The bench press is the lift most affected by weight loss.
3. Use the reverse-band bench press when you have sore shoulders.
4. Band work between sets works.
5. Consider using a suicide grip when bench pressing to eliminate shoulder or triceps pain.
6. Never miss a rep.

I agree with all those.
Specially power loss when weight goes down. Have shed 7kg since start of this year...and my bench has suffered.
Good list! :thumbup:

Thanks for this! I've been neglecting shoulders and not eating or sleeping right and am weak as hell now. Time to revisit SL 5x5!

****ed up my back yesterday with a light 120kg squat.
Left my water bottle on the catches, as I was coming down the one side of the bar caught the water bottle, lost balance, regained balance, but heard my back crack... so %$#$%$ sore now. Took three cataflam and two myprodol last night to knock myself out.
**** only came right a month ago after hurting it last year

Damnit dude...really sorry to hear that. Went through the same thing last year with one bad lift on a squat when I got tired; dropped my chest as I was coming up and rounded my back...click and crack. SUCKED.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that, hope you recover fast!
On another note, I always get a bit depressed and feel like a weak p#@sy when I read these lines: "with a light 120kg squat"

I'm only on 45kg squats
Hoping 12-16 weeks from now I'll be at 120. No idea if thats possible, but I'll see where I end up

Depending on your weight probably not, expect first plataue around 80/90kg or so.
