    How are you guys getting videos from the Gram on here? See if this works I guess!
    Pulled 275x3 from a 3" ish deficit this week. Most I have pulled for reps period I believe.

    Nice!

    135x10 (+4 rep pr)


    I don't usually post cheat curl vids, but it's a +7 rep pr with 135lb.

    Saw that on IG. That's awesome, man. My last day of Phase 1 is on Saturday. Supposedly should be able to do my previous 1 rep max for 5. We shall see. Not gonna lie, not feeling all that confident.

    Good luck! I was hoping for 5 today. I'm doing max rep testing next week with 510, goal is 8 reps since I pulled 495x8 3 weeks ago.

    New deadlift 3RM today.


    You continue to just absolutely impress me with your deadlifts!

    Here is a smokeshow on my first rep with 525lbs and then two moderately-paced singles after that. My meet is about 3 weeks out and I'm thinking this will be a solid second attempt. I'm hopeful for something close to 550lbs (250kg) by December 10.


    Awesome pulls! I can't wait to see what you can do at your meet. I'm now 8 weeks out from my first meet and have no idea yet what my attempts will be. I'll figure them out when I do max testing in 5 weeks.

    I was reminded why I normally wear gloves when deadlifting...call me what you will but I like skin on my fingers

    Not bad, you just need to build up some callouses there!

    That looks like my hands after a nice long snatch session.

    I did have callouses there! That's what ripped off! Actually happened on both hands...I was using the hex bar and must have gripped just off-center so when I was up close to the top the whole thing rotated forward on me with 405 on there. I don't know how y'all deal with these on a regular basis. I can't open or close my hands without that stinging sensation for the last week.

    I've never used the hex bar for deadlifts, but I've heard the one at my gym has really sharp knurling compared to the regular barbells. One of my friends wraps the small gym towels around the handles and wears gloves when she uses it.

    I can't imagine how much that impacts her lifts.

    Oiy.

    Yea, the hex bar at my gym is brutal. Like "how in the *kitten* did that make it through R&D?" brutal...

    VersaGripps come in handy.

    I need to kickstart my training again, so here is a little punishment for being lazy lately. Back squat 275lb for 12, front squat 225lb for 10.

    175# has always been my sticking point with squats. I'd done 185# a few times, but that was before I'd honed my form.

    Now I'm officially hitting 175# for 5 reps consistently! The fear is gone! I know my mind was holding me back. So here's squats at 175# and then squats at 185#. I only knocked out 4 reps, but I picked it back up and pushed out the 5th. I'll take it!

    And the last video is my max deadlift at 245#.. I maxed out at 225# last time, so I'm pretty thrilled about it!

    Nice job. PRs are an awesome feeling. I know what you mean about mental. I was like that with 185 for a long time.

    Max testing this week to complete my first full wave with conjugate method.
    Did lots of overload work for heavy bench days, deadlifts feeling pretty strong on heavy variations and speed work, squats are questionable - still adjusting to widened stance but getting better...
    Hopefully have some good lifts to share this week! Maybe an all time deadlift PR.
