On your 200lbs rows which is really impressive are you using much body/momentum or strict form, no way I could that weight on rows at the min without using my whole body haha

I'm not bent over all the way (back parallel to the floor), my back can't take it. Its more like 45 degree. So its like in between a regular bent over rows and Yates rows. I wouldn't say its strict form but I'm not rocking up and down either. I think to achieve strict form, I would need to put my forehead against the back of the bench and do the rows. This will eliminate the rocking back and forth.

How were the 2 reps at 210?
You mean form-wise? The first one was wobbly at the top. Made the 2nd one okay, went for the 3rd one and failed at the bottom. I really didn't even try and force the last one up, I didn't want nothing breaking. :D

I like the 3-rep sets... but I would go for a 20-lb increments for next time. Maybe I could get the 3rd one up next time.
 
do or do not, there is no try
- Yoda
...or maybe
Gut check it! Next time, at the end of that 2nd rep, when the bar thinks it has you beat...dig DEEP within...get mad, see yourself doing that 3rd rep....then take your breath, drop into the hole and explode out!

Progress pictures a year later.

Around May was when I was 'big' at 185 lbs. 3 months and 15 lbs later, at 170 lbs (second photo), is the skinniest. 'Smallest' I have ever been in over 2 decades. I like that I lost quite a bit of fat around the mid-section but I lost a lot of strength and muscle as well. Not sure which I prefer... :hmmm:
