90kg push press PR + close call
put 90kg overhead for the first time today, it was deceptively easy so i foolishly went for a second rep and had a miniature heart attack when i failed.

We normally do sets of doubles or triples. So this 400lbs with bands for 5 made my soul leave my body.

How’s my squat?
I can struggle with poor mobility when I squat (ankles and hips) and find I flip-flap between deciding whether my form (depth mainly) is good enough or not.
For context, this is 160kg which is pretty heavy for me.

Pendlay strapped rows of 160kg cheated or not?

Hello so I started meal prepping and I'm doing the traditional white rice and chicken but I'm totally lost on sides and for breakfast. Any idea will help thank you in advance.

Dumbell Row PR 15 reps with a 140 Pound Dumbell. I know my form is not the best, but i have done 4 sets of 6 with the same Dumbell (140), rowing slowly up and holding the Dumbell (Momentary Pause when i have rowed the Dumbell up) And strapless.
When i was rowing the 12th rep, the plate touched the chair so it got out of balance for a moment. But i managed to do a pr (15 reps with 140).

Form check my deadlift?
Coming off of a back injury and taking it nice and slow - want to make sure I’m getting the fundamentals right. Looking at the video I do see a bit of butt wink if anyone has any suggestions

To those of you who struggle with mental health
I have a mood instability disorder, and some days it’s really hard to get my workout done. I’m starting off small because I need to build habits before going all out.
What would you guys suggest to continue building a habit with working out? I just can’t seem to get out of bed some days, and I want to start working out and better myself.
