    Video Challenge, and an observation

    First, the observation... I bet that our Athletics subforum is one of the busier places in X Marks, not because there are mobs of people posting here, but that the 5-6 of us are all over the forum with workouts, comments on each others workout, etc. etc.

    Next, the Video Challenge:

    I challenge the "regulars" to post video of an upcoming workout before the end of the year. Be it throwing or lifting, "big" or "fast" show us a couple of minutes of what you've got going on, where you do your thing and so on. Upload to YouTube and let us see what's up. Comments welcome.

    Hmmmm...I'm camera shy.
    Plus, I don't really have a video set up, although I've asked Santa for one. If He delivers and I can figure out how to use it, then you'll have your video.
    Assuming, of course, that I'm having a good hair day and the camera doesn't make me look fat.

    I'm a camera slut. I'm in. I don't believe anyone will learn much from my vid(s), but I'll soak up whatever pointers are offered.

    I'm smelling a montage--a late-80's sports-training music montage!!

    You have been warned.

    Here's an example....the 245 flat bench PR that I set last January....and just broke on Monday. You can see that I made the 245, but had a little bit of "help" at 250 from my spotter.



    I have some other boring YT vids of workouts from last year, but will spare you. Y'all can see the NEW one coming soon.

    Here's a YouTube video URL, in fact the URL for the above video...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60JHTojy3Vw

    The way you post an included YouTube video here on X Marks is by using the {yt} ..... {/yt} tag except that you use square brackets "[" instead of curly brackets } .

    See in the URL where the word "watch" appears? Just copy everything after that and put it in the brackets, like this.

    {yt}?v=60JHTojy#Vw{/yt}

    again, using square brackets instead of the squiggly brackets.

    Progress towards my off-season goal of a deadlift PR at 405, which happens to be eight big plates.

    Today I did a triple at 315, which surprised me, so I kept going...

    355




    365 pounds. My PR is 385. That pull was hard, but I bet I had 375 in me, today. However, there's no rush. I have until mid-February to make that goal.
