Love that intensity. Good job Legio!

 

[Pearse Shields]

It was a good day.

Did you even have to use your AK?

Nice work man.

A weighted chin with +90 lbs.

 

[Modern Warrior1]

First time touching a weight over 50lbs in 5 months. Decided to do some deadlifts. Matched my previous PR of 345lbs. Last time it felt like death, this time it was as easy as pie. I think I could have gotten at least 360-370, maybe even 380. I didn't push my luck, though.

 

[Beable]

Participated in my first powerlifting meet over the weekend. It was a good experience at my local gym. Just matched my gym PR's, didn't cut weight, etc. Made all nine lifts. 340,205,405 = 950.

 

[Obscure Terror]

Press 60kgx1 - 5kg PR.

And the back didn't asplode'?? Awesome that's great progress. At one point didn't you think you'd never touch a barbell again?

Congrats on 9/9 and matching your training PR's in your first meet.

Press 60kgx1 - 5kg PR.

Needs more power chords.

Congrats man! That's awesome. matching all gym PR's in a lift is pretty good.


I hit 150lbs for 15 reps on bench today...the last 2-3 reps were so shaky it was hilarious. Never done that many reps on...well, anything before lol.:icon_lol:

I can start putting tunes over my lifting videos no problem.

That's what I was told by the first doc, yeah. He was wrong about a lot though.

..Never done that many reps on squats in my life...it was not fun.

 

[Kinglee]

Your back looked parallel to the floor when you started that pull..

Yeah noticed that as well, between my belly and short arms I struggle getting into a decent starting position-have you any advice on improving this? Will have to film more rep work going forward.

[Cratos]

Kinglee, it doesn't look like you locked that rep out.

 

[Kinglee]

Do you mean at the knees Cratos? Looks like I didn't tighten up once my hips locked out...

Knees and your hips are back. You need to push your hips through and knees locked to be totally locked out.
