i'm 6'4" and 199 - still could do with dropping to 180 though
Yea I got to a point where I started to feel truly disgusted with myself and did something about it. I feel amazing now. In high school I was 190 but I'm not sure how far I want to push it. I think I'd rather make my next goal replacing fat with muscle rather than pure weight loss.

Like, bench press technique?
1. Force Your Shoulders Back and Down
To approximate this feeling, hold a Jump Stretch Mini Band at arm's length in front of you and pull the band apart. The feeling as you pull the band apart will be one of tightness in your upper back. This is the feeling you want to re-create when you set up for the bench press. Maintain this position throughout your set.
2. Squeeze Your Glutes Tight
This is pretty self-explanatory, but some people struggle with it. If you have dormant glutes that need waking up, then try a couple of sets of glute bridges before you bench. When these become easy, switch to a single-leg variation
3. Get Your Feet Wide
Whether you bench flat footed or up on the balls of your feet, a wide stance will give you stability and balance that supersedes what you can achieve with a narrow stance. Think of how a pyramid is built and you will soon understand
4. Grip the Bar as Hard As You Can
The HARDER you grip the bar, the harder your triceps will flex. To supercharge this technique, "break the bar apart" as you bench. Try to feel like you are bending the bar (your left hand will try to rotate counter-clockwise and your right hand will try to rotate clockwise)
5. Bring the Bar to Your Lower Chest/Nipple Line
Nothing will mess up your shoulders faster than benching to your upper chest with your elbows flared. This is a horrible position. Instead, tuck your elbows on the descent and aim to touch the bar to your lower chest on each and every rep. Just remember to keep your forearms perpendicular to the floor at all times

Cheers guys

if you can do the pushups on a set of rings, as well as the dips, that would be even better. Then you can work towards planche holds and eventually planche pushups if you're beastly

One step at a time sir - I will just do push ups and some dips to start then move up to something a little more hardcore in a few months

Don't be too hard on the French retard, he struggles with English almost as much as he does with a 5 lb dumbell.

PR'd on the snatch today, got 180lbs. hoorayyyy
I started a 30 program for olympic lifting, and won't be doing a lick of crossfit for the next month. in the last 3 days, i've already put on about 3lbs from throwing heavy weights overhead repeatedly
The program is based off of your 1rm snatch, clean and jerk, front squat, and back squat and that is literally all you do, including power snatch and power cleans here and there.
The first day was pretty brutal but mostly because i was stupid and did the lunch cf workout and then the lifting workout after work. that damn near put me under but today felt real good and tomorrow is low volume then a rest day. Then saturday, all hell breaks loose.
