Same exact problem at my gym here. I hope we don't hurt ourselves because of these stupid weights..
Sox, I totally agree. I just want my gym to get a few rounded plates. You only need one on each side and then it doesn't happen. I think I might request them of the management. Yeah, I don't use ANY quad on my deadlifts, heh.
Sean, if I use any quad at all, my DL sucks. My quads blow. I'm all ass and hammies. My Olympic squats suck too, heh.
Speaking of which, here are some more videos from my training session today:
Squat 275x8: YouTube - Squat 275x8
Military Press 175x3: YouTube - Military Press 175x3
Chinups +80x3: YouTube - Chinups +80x3
Also did some lunges and overhead squats. Lunges were with 80s for a couple sets of 7 or 8. Overhead squats are light, at 75, for a couple sets of 10 I think. I am going to keep this in no matter what (The OH squats). I suck at them, and I'm still learning technique, so I'm slowly progressing as I become a bit more comfortable with the weight and movement itself.
Oh, and on another note, the reason I didn't use a belt to add weight for the dips and chins is because I broke it a week or two ago, haha. It just snapped on me mid-set.

Do you know how much the chains weigh in the Dip video?
And yes, I may ask management to buy a few rounded ones for deadlifting as well.

I think 30 pounds a pop? The vest is about 30 as well. I thought the vest was 40, but someone had removed some of the weights.
So I just got back from a vacation in Vegas. I still have been working out, and I worked out 3 times while gone. As well, one day was spent rock climbing and hiking for a good several hours, so it was not a sedentary vacation by any stretch of the imagination.
By the same token, I ate like someone who hadn't had food in weeks, and I put on 8 pounds in under a week. Needless to say, I will be cutting for the next several weeks. I'm going to get leaner than I was before. I will also be more aggressive, shooting for more like 2 pounds per week of fat loss. I will post up my diet shortly.
I also put up a couple of videos on my YouTube page of some Vegas stuff. I will put up a couple more later. One of which was a free fountain show out front of the Bellagio hotel, which was fucking awesome.

Random Update
Wow it's been a long time since I've posted on these forums. I need to get semi-active here again.
Anyway, I thought it was worth noting that this past weekend I finally hit a 500 deadlift off the floor. It definitely drained the crap out of me though. I was a little shakey afterward from all that nervous system excitation!
Just to fill you in on my workout for the Hell of it:
DL
455x1, 500x1, 455x1
Back Squat (ATG)
300x5, 275x4x5
Note: I did more here last time, but I started fresh too. The DLs killed me.
HS High Row
180x12, 230x3x8
NG L Chinups
BWx8,6,5
I've been hitting my back a bunch lately. I need to go back to getting a high frequency of work in on my back. Last time I did this it worked wonders.

Nice going with the 500lbs, thats an awesome weight!
Thanks guys. I dunno, I just haven't found the motivation to get back here and post regularly. When I have little tidbits of free time all I want to do is play some games or socialize face to face with peoples. I am currently working and going to school full time. 5 days a week I have both classes and work, work a 6th, and of course there is homework to be done, so days with lots of free time are few and far between.
I'm holding around 200 pretty lean. I'll see if I can get some pictures up in the not too distant future.
