Lumberlegs sweatshirt and shorts.
Ice shaker bottle (I don't see many/if any around me).
All American roughneck pump covers.
TLF short and shirt.
Flag Not Fail sweatshirt, shorts, shirt.
Kindafitkindafat shirts and shorts.

Form Check: My first set of deadlifts, more info in body.
https://reddit.com/link/1gaem9s/video/q5r7f8vo6jwd1/player
I tried deadlifts with my new bar. 135lbs and my lower right back hurt at the end and after.
I have been working out for a month and had DOMS the first week and half so I know what that feels like. This was different, the pain started near the end of the set. I laid down for about 5 minutes and it got better. I was able to finish my workout since the rest of the exercises were upper body and not hard on the back.
Its still a bit sore the next day but not bad at all. I'm not sure if it's because I have a weak back or bad form or a mix of both.

How to manage meal prep?
Hey 👋 my boyfriend is a bodybuilder and he is gonna start cutting soon, he is very good at keeping consistent at the gym, but not very consistent at keeping up with meals. His diet consist five different types of protein a day and it’s just very difficult to keep up with all his meal prep. Is there any way to make meal prepping easier? He has fish, chicken, meat, rice, sweet potatoes and other foods on his diet its hard to keep up with groceries then make them. Please tell me how you manage! It is so hard. I want him to focus on the gym not on cooking and shopping for his meals, but both are equally important!

2 x 50kg DB Chest Press for 4 reps
I've not lifted much over a 40kg dB before but just wanted to see if I could. Having watched back the video technically it looks like a right 💩 show. Can someone point out the mistakes and tell me how to fix it. Like I know I should have my arse on the bench but it doesn't stay there when it's this heavy, how do you stop that?
