So today is my cardio I did 2mile run and ended it with 20 minutes on the bike on hill mode.

Fuck I couldn't feel my ass after I got off the bike. This is my second time doing the bike.
I usually just go hiking on my cardio days.

Thanks, I've got years before hitting that goal...But I have dropped another 3lbs and kept it off over the last 3 days so who knows.

Should do an azht group hike...I'd most likely be down.

We should. I go every sunday morning.

have weighed 231 for the last few days, puts me at 29lbs lost from when I started three months ago.

well laziness caught up to me again and i lost all my progress already, its hard when you have nobody to push you lol

1badlst has been training with us. Can't wait to see this guy in a couple months. :)

Could only imagine

Get back on it and find a way to motivate yourself without relying on someone else to push you.

:sm:

i need a workout buddy lol and it sucks not having nobody to spot you, iv gotten weight stuck on my chest a few times haha

What gym do you go to?


I was working on chest today and towards the end of benching I decided to put up 315, which I haven't touched in months and I asked a kid to spot me, he stared at me for a second and said he was with his friends and walked away. Got 315 x3 anyway thanks to one of his not so douchy friends.

Wtf? That's fucked up I always spot when asked, especially since I've gotten stuck with weight on me before glad you got help though fucking kids these days

Look back at your pics before progressing, do you want to go back to that or keep inching forward? You don't have to max out every workout, its good to push yourself but push yourself to your own limits when you're alone work with what you can and slowly climb up. I've gotten used to working out alone now but if you're in the west valley I'll help you out sometime, i go to 24hr fitness.

Video isn't working for me.

I had to deadlift 465 for 15 singles with 30 sseconds rest. Shit sucked.

Try looking at it again. I guess it uploaded as private the first time.

And Damn that's fucking gnarly

Form actually looks pretty good from what I can tell. Next time get one directly from the side.

Couple points to address would be :
Knees turning in. You want to externally rotate the hips and force the knees out slightly.

Secondly don't "yank" the bar off the floor like that. You can see you dip down taking the slack outof the bar then snap back. Ideally you want to preload tthe bar. You want to take the slack out of it, then pull .

Yeah I'll try that next time. I could adjust my phone proper next to.

Oops didn't mean to yank usually I am pretty good at not doing that.
I have a check list I hit before I go for a lift as you could tell I was prepping for the lift. Do you have like certain bullet points you think before you go for the pull?

One thing I have been doing is trying to run through any mental cues in my head before I grip the bar, this way I can just grip it and rip it.

I started to over think the lift a bit back before my meet, and my deadlift was going to shit. I would grip the bar and then spend a good 20 second down there running through all these things in my head, and end up missing the lift.

One of the more important cues you should be thinking about is "chest up".

Thanks for the insight. I never really thought about the chest up thing. But makes sense.

Its a pain in the dick, but try loading the bar on the floor. You lose a lot of energy unracking it like that. I used to roll each side up on a 10lb plate to load and unload.

Yea and don't walk it in like that . lol

At least you put the thing down before pulling. When I saw it loadded in the rack I was waiting for the whole walk it out and bang it off the floor like a second rep. Seen that so many times.

One guy told me he could deadlift 500, he unracked it, drops down bounces it off the floor and barely gets back up to lockout. Tried to explain to this fool it's not a deadlift if you dont pull it off the floor. Lol There is no "dead" in what he did.

Haha yeah I know what you mean I have seen that many times. Don't worry I reset the weight every time.

I hate that they have these new hexagon weights. They are so uncomfortable. They get me out of my groove.

Solid work FA. You look like a different person.

Thanks guys! Definitely feel like a different person...was looking at gyms downtown but holy fawk its like $80/month for golds...hoping to set some weightlifting goals for the rest of the year soon.

Great job on the 400+lb dead lifts! Hope to be above 400lbs again in the next year or two.
