Rippetoe looks (physique wise) almost like the dude who runs my gym. Older dude, doesn't look like anything special. Then the other day I saw him deadlifting 350kg. If he ever gave me any advice on how to strength train, I'd listen.
I wouldn't read Rip's articles or videos about bodybuilding or weight cutting, but for gaining strength, he knows what he's talking about.
Full range of motion, completely behind the head with a more explosive throwing motion.
I'll see if I can find a video of it.

He's a strength coach. I expect him to be strong, and know how to get other people strong. All other things are secondary.

The vast majority of lifters at 198 and below are pretty damn lean, especially at the higher levels of competition. The reason behind putting on extra fat and going up weight classes is simple: more fat equals better leverage (for the most part), so the lifts will go up without having to actually get stronger. Additionally, strength will usually come easier when you're fatter.

No offense, you do have strong lifts.
Moving down a weight class would be very beneficial for my coefficient.
It's weird, prior to about 6 months ago, my lat progress had been in a year long plateau. Figured I would have seen more growth with all the progress recently.

HBBS 155 3x8
Hip thrust 315x4. wasn't feeling these, let it go instead of lowering weight.
Ab wheel 3x5, almost full ROM
30 chins
10 min interval + 5 minutes walking on treadmill. Found the interval setting, can change speed and incline with one button to toggle between 2 different settings. Very cool.
Also, did my first unassisted headstand, but also fell and broke a mirror. Attendant took my info down. I honestly dgaf, they can blow me if they think I'm gonna pay for it. Gymnastics at a GYM are definitely considered expected use, and I did nothing against the rules. If they want to institute a no gymnastics rule now, be my guest. We'll see what happens.
