More Power to You#

Grip N Rip

New strict press PR log bar boiiiiiiiiiii (getting close to my bodyweight bishhessssss) Besides some chalk, this is 100% raw

For the Difficult

Anderson Squats...aka bottom up squats are hard yet surprisingly was going so well that I ended up working up to 95% of my current 1RM. Definitely squatting a PR next Saturday. Kang Squat PR last week, did high bar Bulgarian Split Squats today, which I prefer low bar, yet will help nonetheless

ASMR

Avid Squatter Massive Rower Last time I did heavy deadlift rows I did 225 for 2, twice, and yesterday I did this 100kg/220lb row 2 sets of 3 and that is simply because I'm on a deload week with squatting so I have to moderate intensity to continue to progress, while mitigating fatigue. Row >… read more

Welp...

Ran out of loading space lol I need more 45s, or, 100lb plates

5kg PR

I only started doing this specific movement in the summer, as I've never heard of it but combining a frog squat with a good morning has really really helped me progress faster with my one rep max low bar squat. There are multiple movements you can train to increase your squat, and this is… (edited) read more

Core

I need to increase my core strength. Was about 9kg from 2xBW, even while this weight moved rather easy. Didn't do a Zercher deadlift like I did Friday (1.5xBW), I did a Zercher squat (sumo deadlift, hinge and rest bar on quads, hook the elbows and stand up)

Let Him Cook

When you're a masochist, you started with Nordic hamstring curls, built up to a heavy kang squat single, then did 5x5 frog squats, 6x6 Bulgarian split squats, 4x12 OmniStrap hamstring curls, then flip the bird to your quads with 4x8 reverse Nordic curls aka bodyweight leg extensions

Unforgiving

The log bar is far more unforgiving than the Zercher lifts and you just have to fight harder

Puuuuuusssshhhhhhhh

Gotta push through it. Cluster sets (log presses ring pull ups to weighted dips) straight to heavy super sets (push press with log to heavy 5x5) Gonna be sore but stronger. JulyBody makes the change plates that can go on any bell

Bodyweight

After the Nordic hamstring curls, the new 1RM swuat PR, and the 8 Rep Max squat PR, I built up to shouldering my bodyweight

Zercher

I've done much more deadlifting then resting the bar on my knees, and standing up, but to unrack, lower down and standing back up, I'm glad I added 25lbs to what I did two weeks ago. 225lbs, 102.2kg, or, a tad over 16 stone #friendsdontletfriendsskiplegday

Hurricane

Great core builder, and adductor grower lol got my pulling blocks hanging, and two 25lb plates. Ordered more hanging straps from GripGenie to get even more wobble. I don't own a hurricane bar but I like cycling this in box squatting and regular low-bar squatting. Did both my 4RM for 3 and my 3RM… read more

New

Got my new hyper extension bench Friday, used it today. Recorded this warm up set but not my working sets. Can be used at three different angles. Arms get in the way a bit but folds up real slim

Celebrate the small wins

I'm about to have back surgery to fix the nerves in my leg so I have to limit how much I lift. But here's me squatting 120kg anyway.

Boooooooost

Boost your free test; train heavy with higher&lower reps, without neglecting conditioning. 6 sets of 6 weighted pull ups followed by 6 sets of 8 weighted dips, finished by 6 sets of 17 hip hugger rows. Cluster sets in one plane for joint health

RDL is a Way of Life

About every other week I'm moving up in weight. Once I learned thee best technique cue, i had to rebuild my RDLs. I'll do 4x12, and if the 4th set I can do 15, I go up in weight. Almost to my bodyweight with that volume. About 15lbs and it'll be bodyweight. (You can't see it but there are… read more

Zercher

Although I'm sad my hyper extension bench bent today, even though my makeshift keg wasn't that heavy...still glad I pulled this from the ground. Zercher deadlifts are phenomenal back builders

Goal

What are you goals and what do you deadlift 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

Strict

3 months off brought a 5lb PR

Hy

I got BGE

I really hope they do make a hat or a beanie with a leather patch with this design because this is absolutely hilarious and fun. This is my new t-shirt that I plan to turn into a sleeveless, which does include stretching out and rehemming the shoulders
