^Pretty sure none of us actually has perfect technique.

sorry, should have meant as close to proper as possible.

eg.

- planted feet
- arched back
- pressure on shoulder blades
- vertical forearms

Skinny where did you get your dip belt from again?

Heavy chest day tomorrow, the day of 4 plate bench could be here boyzzzz

record it bro

got my squat on today. Did a few warm-up sets & did 3 sets of 6 @ 225, and a final set of 6 @ 235
Weak compared to upper body, but i'm climbing fast.
Decided i'm going to try to squat 300 lbs on my next leg day. Just need to eat a shit ton of carbs beforehand.
I could bench that 6 months ago....LOL!

so i`m going to the gym for the first time later this week. if i start bicep curling 15-20lbs, do most people not care or do they laugh? i`ll probably bench press somewhere in the super low range too...haha

you're at the gym to improve yourself, and the only person you should be competing to is yourself.

put on your music, man up and lift.

If people care how much u bicep curl you are at the wrong gym

Gotta start somewhere. If it makes you feel any better when I started I could barely lift 30lb dumbbells lol. I actually was paranoid too so I bought a weight set to get stronger at home then get a gym pass, didn't work lol. I finally joined with my brother, and having someone with you is usually enough to feel comfortable in a gym the first few times.

Just don't try to do more weight than you can handle with decent form. You'll get more sneers trying to curl 30's with swinging arms than doing 15's with proper form.

I dont eat enough anymore....dont workout much anymore.....I feel disgusting working such long hours....

don't get caught up in the numbers game

just keep lifting

truth, i started benching 25lb dumbells

22 months later lifting like a bawssss (at least in my mind, and thats what matters)

Can't say much 2 that

LOL at revrav failing me for no clear reason

This is a PM from revrav himself



EDIT: And I doubt anyone here can say they have perfect form

Had potentially best chest workout of my life today now I'm out drinking watching the nucks game

Feels bad man

tried board presses for the first time today using an imaginary board, loving it

ohhhhhhhhhhh shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

so the journey to 4 plate ended tonight, i pulled it boys, i am not gonna lie holding all that weight in your hands on your back is kinda scary, my spotter followed hella close but no bar touch, only about 30 people were watching in the mirrors haha. have never felt so good after a lift in my life. i am hoping i can pull that every time for one rep for a while.

No video, no care




Just kidding, thats crazy man! Congrats on hitting a new record

Dunno if it's some weird coincidence of eating something weird before a workout, but the last few times after doing Stiff-Legged Deadlifts I've been getting nauseous and wanting to vomit, which makes the res of my workout shitty.

Annoying and frustrating.

Are you feeling dizzy at all? I used to get a little light headed when I deadlifted.
I'm guessing because I wasnt breathing properly

Maybe that could be it?

I only get lightheaded on the rare occasion for regular deadlifts and squats when I go hard, but it only lasts a few seconds.

This nausea feels different and lasts awhile; similar to the discomfort from motion sickness or something. Nothing terrible, but just a nuisance.

Interesting bit:
