PR rep! Looked good too

That's a meaty dead. It looks like you'd have an easy double-bodyweight 1RM if you cared to take it.

 

[djeclipse]

Thanks for the replies.

blut wump my bodyweight at the gym yesterday was 195 with (shoes on), probbaly 5-10 lbs of that weight is round my waist, lol I assume I could get 2x my bodyweight for a single and hopefully soon for a set of 5.

But no matter what my bodyweight is, it's still not nearly as impressive as someone that can do 5+ plates aside for reps no matter what body weight they are at.

Nice looking deadlift,you made it look very easy.I think you coul pull 405+ easy if you tried.I am glad everyone thought your form was good because I pull the same way and I was thinking that I have shit form.What suprises me is that you have such a massive dead compared with your squat.I guess it just comes down to body structure and things like that.

Keep up the good work

dje, I agree, completely. I want 5 plates on each side, dangit!

Ya, I guess it shows you just how shitty my legs are. For some reason I am able to deadlift a decent amount and can't squat worth a shit, lol.

I was a little worried about my form when I posted it but I guess it's good enough to cairy on.

For sure, I want 5 aside but will settle for 4 right now.

Week 8 Day 3

I was feeling kind of run down and didn't have much motivation today. I made all my lifts but just wasn't into it. I think once I stall on my bench, rows military press or what ever I will be looking to change it up a little.

I was thinking wither A HTT program (but I don't really like the 2 weeks of 15 reps), or possibly a few weeks of changing the set/rep ranges to 3 sets of 8 for each lift. Just to have something different and a little "easy" work. then i will run the 5x5 single factor again as i am not done with it yet.

At the end of my workout there were these 2 twig morons that came in thinking they were all "hard". I made a post in the morons at the gym thread, they were good for a laugh.
