>Lifts your proud of but never get to brag about
We always talk BP, Diddly, OHP etc.
What are some PRs you've hit lately that your proud of that you don't get to bring up enough, user?
I know for me, I have a shoulder issue that keeps me from doing diddlys and BP, so I have to find my joy in other major lifts. Show me your numbers friendos.
>Rack pull (at knee) 405x4
>Shrug 425x5
>Zercher finally 2pl8 (just started and its harddd)
one leg hip thrusts, managed to get one leg hip thrust with 220 lbs for 20 reps feelsgood
What muscles do feel more activated doing this than other lifts?
glutes
Just hit 315 on deads, and 265 on squats. Making good progress.
But my bench and ohp just suck. I cant really get past 115 ohp, and my bench is at 175. I think I might have a shoulder priblem.
Oh, and I fucking love rowing.
+100 lb dips for 5 reps at 140 lbs
everyone else i see maxes out at 25 lbs or doesn't do them
i occasionally do lunges with 185. that shit gets more looks than deads or cleans.
85lbs weighted pull up for 5 reps
Still trying to find my 1RM tho
What's your rep scheme?
I love back rack lunges. Did a 5x10 @ 135 with 90 sec sets 3 days ago and still feeling it bad
I feel ya buddy. I am aiming for 205 on Pendlays in the next few months. Having trouble moving past 190.
My shoulder keeps me at goddamn 45 its a nightmare. Theyre so fun and I just cant do them without dislocation
If you plateau try doing the same grip for lat pulldowns with the cable. Gotten me a lot of growth.
Do you walk it back to the rack or just drop it on the floor after a walk?
>What's your rep scheme?
3 sets of 5 per leg. 5 left, 5 right, rest. never on the same day as squats.
3 minutes minimum rest since i have a sordid history with ankle stability/balance.
Beating depression.
>Do you walk it back to the rack or just drop it on the floor after a walk?
rack. i dont walk the lunges.
also i couldnt clean that and rack it over my head onto my back if you put a gun to my head lol.
Lol thats what I was curious about
Bench Press - 3x6@155
Squat - 3x6@1pl8
Deadlift 3x6@185
Bicep Curl - 2x6@50
The most basic shit, I know, but considering I I was lifting half of these weights 6 months ago, I have improved a lot. Feels great my dudes.
300lbs 10 reps 5 sets for seated rows not bad??
You should probably squat and dl more my man.
I can deadlift 315 double overhand thumbless for reps.
Don't know your program, but I wouldn't worry about trying to lift too heavy on ancillary exercises like bicep curl my dude.
Like a seated cable row? Cable weights are different from machine to machine, plus it depends on the attachment youre using, no way to know
Straps or no?
My barbell lifts are progressin nicely, but of course my machine lifts are what get me ‘mires from thots.
>100 kg bumper plate rows on hammer strength machine
> 100 lbs(45, 35, and two 10s) on curl machine
> 450 on squat machine
> wear a 40 lb weight vest when doing dips for 3 sets of 5. Since I weigh 205, I’m dipping 250
>do 30” on the jump box with the same 40lb weight vest, 2 sets of 5
All in all, I’m happy.
>curls
Up your DL bro, and get a pullup bar
>machines
Don’t you fucking judge me. I use machines and dumbbells as accessories after my barbell 5x5 sets.
>bumper plate rows on machine
Oh, I'm judging
My gym is small, and the real plates are far compared to the bumper plates. Plus, it looks cooler to be pulling thick plates. Goddamn it let me have this one.
No. I disapprove of your routine, and thus it is awful and the results you are happy with are nonexistent
You son of a bitch. I have so little and you guys have so much, yet you belittle me my meager achievements.
0/1/2/3
Struggling a bit with deadlift, it scares me pulling more weight because sometimes a really sharp pain comes to my glutes and hamstrings.
I think it happens because I start shaking a bit due to the heavy weight and I autistically stand on my toes or wiggle/bend knees a bit
user, Ill give you support for your progress
But I'd consider you a true asshole if I went to do DLs or cleans and the bumpers were gone cause you were using the machine. Also just a heads up, most people are gonna think thats amateur
But congrats on progressing
No straps
front squat (crossed arms) 205 for reps now
feels pretty neat when I come back up and the bar jumps off my shoulders a little bit.
>he benches more than he squats
>bench under 2pl8
>curling 50s
you better be saying barbell or ezbar son.
>let me have
no. fix your shit and stop lifting for mires, you turd burgling fagit
160/250/345/470
The row machine is right next to the squat rack/ deadlift bar. And literally no one but I deadlift at this gym. It’s in a small Oregon town. Not even the local roid-bro deadlifts. Those bumper plates are only used for squats (I know, I know) and as a a base insert for a swivel, so that people can do landmine presses.
>landmine press
is that the shit where they squat or whatever with one end of the bar? I hate those. if you do those, I automatically want you to have mild stomach discomfort.
3x10 30kg dips, weighing in at 63kg
Not squatting, but inserting a barbell into a swivel, and kind of shoulder pressing the weighted bar up, like pic related. THe only thing people at my gym use the bumper plates for is as a base to insert the swivel into.
