Tired of being fat so I’ve been lifting weights and eating right and I’m now addicted to squatting. I’m only a month in and don’t want to develop bad habits. I lift by myself so I’m nervous about lifting too much and getting hurt.

Grit not quit 😤 stayed with it. Whatever it takes to hit that PR!!

@205lbs body weight. Would like to hit 275 before end of year 2025

really proud of my progress this year. wanted to share!

I’m working on keeping my head down, as I’ve been advised here, but I keep catching myself looking forward instead 😵‍💫

Formcheck / 125kg deadlift with Hexbar

Hiya! So I've been training for about 6 months and made some progress that I'm proud of! When I started deadlifting, it was at 40kgs, now I'm up to 125! 🙌

anyway, how's my form? I'm very new at all this. The day I recorded this was a kinda bad day and it felt kinda off. I usually go for 125kg X10/12 reps too.

Thanks in advance!

Since my set of 315 got so much attention (for better or worse) I figured I’d post the zercher squat I used for the garage gym competition this year. Used some advice I got from my last post for unracking and felt a lot better. Rogue racks are so wide I kept hitting the plates on the uprights so I slid some collars on first to push the plates out and that made a huge difference. Probably had more in the tank but my safeties won’t fit low enough and I don’t have any crash pads so I’ll stick with this for now. Might as well make it a goal now to hit 405 since I really didn’t do much zercher work to get here.

Should I start from a higher hip position or am I doing something wrong like not driving enough with my heels? 130kgs @64kgs

Real men use straps

Just checking with my critical people cause I was happy with the effort without straps :)

Want to see if my depth on this seated shoulder press was good and if the form was aight

Doesn’t feel really impressive compared to what I see but yep feels good to do it. New PB for me.

Not a PR, my 1RM conventional is currently 565 with 535 for a triple. Just wanted to show some progress with one of my “heavier” clean lifts after sticking with it since July.

Sometimes I think I'm the only one that finds front squats more comfortable than back squats. They're just so much easier on the lower back

115, 120, 125 and finally 130kg each for 5 reps. 130 is technically a pr for me, since I only lifted 130+kg on pendlay variation. But I am happy with how easy 130 felt, even though I was absolutely trashed after benching🤩

I used some body language, but imho pretty limited, what do you think?

Any tips ? Started lifting for strength in 2020.

Current maxes in LBS: Squat : 425 DL : 495 Bench : 320

40m 163lbs. Some sets of 225x5, took some time away from benching due to some shoulder issues, it was never my strong area but I always feel like I’m missing out if I’m not doing it. Yeah a suicide grip, there is not a single lift that I wrap my thumb around the bar, just always feel stronger this way.

This is the prettiest I’ve hit my 100%. I think im ready for 155-160kg soon. Peak coming along well

Last set of deadlifts for the day. It was a high gravity day, so I wasn’t expecting 10 reps. I was going to stop at 8 RPE, but instead pushed the set to RPE 9 to hit a new 10 rep PR
