If that video is a power clean, thenhell no. I doubt I could do that without the weight crashing down on my head. I just try to bring the weight up to my upper chest/shoulders. But I will try to place it on my shoulders and bend my elbows out next time.

Ah yea the 1:20-1:25 thats how I try to bring it, though my elbows werent out like that which I will do next time. I don't do the 1:25-1:30 thing where he puts it over his head though.
Deadlift[100lb]

Started off my dead lift with the new weights, I didn't feel like I pushed myself to my limit and will increase rep count next session'
Military Press[80lb]
1 set, 6 reps
1 set, 3 reps
Well, this exercise did not go well at all. I thought I could handle to increase the weight by 20lb and do the same amount of reps..my arms completely gave out half way through the second rep so next session I lower the weight and just increase the rep count a little bit.
Chinups[shoulder length]
1 set, 10 reps
1 set, 8.5 reps
1 set, 6 reps
1 set, 4 reps
Woah, my chins have improved alot in the past week. Went from max chins of 7 to 10...don't know how it improved so much in the past week, I did everything normal just started including pullups and close handed chins.
Bicep Curls[60lb]
4 sets, 7 reps
My curls improved alot as well, before I could only finish off 2 sets of 7 reps and struggle through the rest.

Is that 60lbs in each arm or between them?
Squat
4 sets, 6 reps
Barbell Row
4 sets, 8 reps
Struggled on the last two, not being able to bring it all the way up and on the last set not even half way up.
Weighted Push ups[30lb]
1 set, 20 reps
1 set, 17 reps
1 set, 11 reps
Getting some pain in the lower back area, maybe its the weight on the back or another exercise I did i'm not sure. Also is getting hard to put the weight on my back by myself, and balance it on my back without it falling down. Might have to find a new way of implementing this.
Pull ups
1 set, 6 reps
1 set, 5 reps
1 set, 3.5 reps
1 set, 2.2 reps
Pull ups weak compared to chin ups...will improve..
Sit ups[30 degree angle]
3 sets, 20 reps
Pretty much focused so much on weighted crunches and obliques I neglected my upper abs and thought it was time to work them out as well.
Standing tricep extensions[60lb]
3 sets, 6 reps
I had to cheat practically on every one of these because i couldn't bend them behind my back and have my triceps support it and bring it up, so i would go barely down and try to bring it back up and sometimes go crooked. I could have good form if I lower the weight and increase the rep. But maybe if i continue doing this my triceps will eventually get stronger and be able to support the weight behind my back.

I was always used to doing wider gripped curls, tonight i tried doing close gripped curls and have it work another part of the biceps. This way was alot tougher for me and felt it alot more in the bicep area.
Couldn't really keep track of my entire calorie intake protein today since I went out to a restaurant and all. Had something called a Vegetarian Omlette, and minced potatoes with peppers, tomatoes and stuff..prob around 700 cals right there...

I felt like I tired faster than I usually get, probably because I forgot to take my creatine before my workout. I was dissapointed with my chins, even though rep count on set one improved i my second and third sets were way too low. The weighted push ups took a lot of energy out of me and by the time i got to chins my arms were already tired. And then i struggled with my bicep curls when i can usually do these sets easily..not the best workout, mediocre i guess. Also added up right rows to my B workout.
