    More deadlifts. Honestly these are bad angles. Backside and front side look terrible. I have no Butt so it always looks like my back is rounding. But it went up easy. Supposed to be lighter day so maxed out at 365 for 5.

    You make it look like you're just lifting the bar! It just goes up so easily! 😍

    Not a GIF but...shows beginning, full depth, and the ascent.

    Great lift - look at your head/neck position in the first pic - try to maintain that all the way down - rather than looking straight ahead when you descend - this was suggested on the 5x5 Reddit sub - I tried it and it feels a bit more comfortable to me - I’m no expert just thought I’d pass along something that’s helped me - keep up the grind

    Idk how to post a video on here but pretty psyched that the 215 I pulled during my meet last month I was able to pull for 4.... 215 may not sound like much but I’m 122 and 4’11 so it sure does feel like it 🤣

    I never had the coordination or patience to work a speed bag. Always enjoy watching people work one over. Thanks for posting!

    Sorry I haven't jumped in til now. I have had an emotional few days and kind of turtled and ate my feelings.

    You are all amazing and I appreciate your contributions to this.

    @rcl6 your skill with the bag is impressive! (and mesmerizing)

    @jennacole12 those are such awesome pics. What a great lift! Be proud!

    Thank you so much ☺️

    Idk really how this works, but...I did pics of bench and deads. I forgot that video would transfer to GIF and not just pics with animation on...j1lk83d7sxxm.jpg

    Today was 180lbs.i weighed in at 181.6 today.

    I did the first set of 5 at 180. And they went... Ok.

    So I added 5 pounds and did the next 4 sets at 185lbs!

    HELL YEAH! BODYWEIGHT and then a teeeeeenie tiny bit. 😂

    Granted... There was a fair bit of growling on that last rep. 😂

    Man - the depth you get is very impressive- 👏👏

    You really are strong! And the fact that you are tall and still keep that form....very impressive 👍
