This pic from Shoreline CrossFit Depicts a perfectly executed low bar back squat. I greatly prefer the low bar position, with the bar resting on the rear deltoids instead of the upper trapezius. It puts far less shear on the lower back so you can lift more weight with much less risk of injury. Make sure you pull your elbows back as far as possible in order to form a good platform with your rear deltoids for the bar to sit on.

Press 1/1/1
Deadlift 1/1/1
Warm up for each lift however you like and once you feel you are ready you have three chances at setting your one rep max.

A little bit of frustration here. My press has been stuck at 150 for a long time and I lost over 20 pounds off of my deadlift from Basic training.

My press is stuck @ 90. I was talking to Rici, he is stuck @ his presses too.
You will get your deadlift back, I know it! <3

I think press has got to be one of the hardest lifts...I almost failed that one but just made it up. Damn.
