Saw a very impressive video on IG from a gym down the road from me. 20 year old squatting 260kg for 2. Clicked on his profile and there's a video of him deadlifting 300kg x 3 too.
Last year I used the soviet deadlift program for 3 blocks, to try and progress my lift. After the 3 attempts I managed to pull 170kg, which was the most I’d ever lifted. Nearly killed me like.Saw a very impressive video on IG from a gym down the road from me. 20 year old squatting 260kg for 2.

John haack just totaled 927kg using only a belt and sleeves at 90kg bodyweight.
Really wish I'd got into powerlifting at school or as a teenager c'est la vie.
145kg is a pretty good bench likeI really focused on my flat bench in the last 12 months before lockdown 5*5 managed to get to where my final set was 145kg regularly. Since going back to the gym Im very unmotivated with it hit fourty this year and sort of feel like I won't hit the numbers I was aiming for (wanted a 160kg bench even if it was one rep). Anyone else struggling with motivation since lockdown? Feel like I'm training with in myself and not pushing incase of another lockdown
I'm a fat bastard mate was training bench three times a week in the end using everything as an accessory for me bench. Got a bit obsessed with it. Just wish I'd tried a one rep max but didn't trust any spotters at my gym145kg is a pretty good bench like
I can certainly vouch for this.Schools over here need a total overhaul of the PE curriculum.
For all that's wrong with the US, they get a lot right in that regard.
Not saying people would ever be coached powerlifting specifically, but as it stands the only kids who really get taught compound barbell movements are those who are snapped by academies, a system which inherently favours the children at the former half of the year group birthdays as they can essentially be a year ahead in physical development anyway and will often over shadow more technically gifted kids with birthdays towards the latter end of the year group cut off.

Problem is I failed at 130kg on Thursday canny demoralising 120kg flying up 130kg barbell path feels off and don't feel set? I'm like a kid in the huff at the minute. Been spoto pressing aswell but I fucked me back doing that sort of dry humped it up with 90kg on summit in my backs done in off that. Falling to bitsYou are the sort of person that makes a powerlifting meet totally drag between squats and deadlifts due to all the 'bench only' entrants
Just kidding mate, good numbers to be repping!
If it’s any consolation I got stuck under the bar on Friday on the final rep of 5x5 and I luckily was able to slide the bar over to one side without a plate landing on anyone.Problem is I failed at 130kg on Thursday canny demoralising 120kg flying up 130kg barbell path feels off and don't feel set?

At least it's not just me I've got some newbie using my squat rack for everything don't do it. If he sanitizers it any more he will melt the f***ing thing!If it’s any consolation I got stuck under the bar on Friday on the final rep of 5x5 and I luckily was able to slide the bar over to one side without a plate landing on anyone.
I’ll start using the benches with safety pins again, the last resort is a bench in one of the squat racks.

Long standing issues or something new? I couldn't do any bicep based training for a about a year fine pushing and pulling but isolation curls pain went from forearm to shoulder so didn't bother doing them and now my hamstrings are going just off benching, I feel like I need put downI've definitely been training within myself but its been to avoid injury more than anything else. Hip and hammies have been feeling a bit sketchy.

Christ you must be keen I done 30 mins cardio after night shift the other day slept for 11 hours afterwards fat bastard for lifeI did a lot of running over lockdown and can only assume its because of that.
I relate to this. Since the gyms reopened, I’ve been doing high bar squats with a narrow stance - so the movement is more quad dominant - while not going particularly heavy. I’m weak as a kitten but over the past few months, my quads have ballooned to the biggest they’ve ever been, so every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose.I've definitely been training within myself but its been to avoid injury more than anything else.

As someone who classes my 15 minute walk to the gym and back as my cardio, I feel compelled to say that doing 30 minutes after a night shift is impressive.Christ you must be keen I done 30 mins cardio after night shift the other day slept for 11 hours afterwards fat bastard for life
My plan was three times a week I don't it once and went bought a bag of haribos next week's new me and all that shabang watching rocky four montages for motivation.I relate to this.
