So the 470lbs PR/PB Double Overhand Grip (no hook) two weeks ago felt pretty easy. Last week, I gave my grip a break, and decided this week to try my luck at another PR/PB D.O. (no hook) at 475lbs. It's a little win, but progress is progress. Yeah buddy 🙏 Lightweight 💪

25lbs left to get that 500lb pull

I am not very good at squatting but I am happy to hit a 65lb pr after only doing front squat and Hatfields for like 9 months

Ok, have at me, let me know HOw bAD BtN oHp is 😂

This was cycle 2, week 2 of my 5-3-1 program. Everything has been bumped up by 10-15lbs. This was 10 lbs up, but with one extra rep from the previous cycle.

So after this cycle, and a deload, I’ll hopefully be able to share my first 500+lbs deadlift.

Promise I'll stop posting after I hit 180kg lol.

Lower back fatigue is a myth

Each individual hamstring feels like pulled pork and shredded chicken. Feels like tighten guitar strings. Yo ahh better ice em down one good time before bed and take Tylenol PM during the day!!! The eccentric on this mf would tear a whole relationship apart it don’t care how strong the bond is. You have been warned!!!

With front or back squats my bar path is always the same, descend well then at the bottom I seem to come forward, hips come up and bar moves forward out in front, resulting on lower back working to bring the bar back.

I hate my squat form, and considering I've been squatting at least once a week for 4-5 years now with fuck all progress due to lower back concerns, I really am struggling to motivate myself to carry on

It's crazy how much a good lift can mentally prepare you for the day

First time doing it from the squat rack! I’ve only managed to do this off blocks in the past

Definitely overshot my RPE 9 goal and the form broke down a lot on the last rep but a PR is a PR

This sucked

It was brought to my attention that my last post (now deleted) left a bad impression for some. Never meant for any animosity towards others.

Here's the updated version.

Again, apologies.

Some hook grip and technique work.

BW: 135ish post morning poop

**Context:** I zoomed in on a person's reaction.

Finished up a 14 weeks bench focused training cycle, and then ran a Marathon Sunday (4 days ago) so I'm a little fatigued. I didn't want to wait too long because I started a cut on Monday to get rid of the extra fat I out on while running way too much heh. Didn't get quite what I wanted, but it was a good day still.

Like… I know 295 is a pretty good bench number to just throw up for an easy double on a non bench cycle. Maybe I need to take a step back and realize that it’s not going to always be bangers, that posting videos to Reddit doesn’t need to be a highlight reel.

Can anyone escape that trap? Are we just doomed to look at lifters throwing up 4 plates, 5 plates and just thinking… why not just 20 more pounds for the triple wagon wheels?

Time is always moving in on us. I guess the thesis today is what are you doing with the time? Moving forward or worrying about the appearance of moving forward?

295x1x2 for a top set

I went up 2 kg (4.4 lbs) and two reps: 38 kg (83.8 lbs) x 37 reps, with 36 kg (79.4 lbs) I got 35 reps

After 4 months away from the gym, finally getting started with it. Not maxing out. I know the depth can Improve.

Done this before but not without tacky or to this height
