Just make sure you have weight on your cage if you use it. Lol. I tried it without the squat bar loaded and that was almost a disaster. 😂
Thanks for the heads up about the FR. I don't usually pay attention to them...I'm not the best friend in the world. 😳😖0 -
Thanks for the Tip 🤣🤣🤣 I will stay on this tread for workout tips from ppl1

Then I hurt my hip. I have been slowly rehabbing it ever since and have been basing my squats on a max lift of 205.
Tonight I tested my squat 1RM... And I did 240lbs! A gain of ten pounds on my best ever! I am sooooo happy!!!
That look you gave after 240....happy satisfaction with some pride....awesome feeling...gratz.1 -

I'm testing my deadlift 1RM. I am super nervous! I want to do well and I know it's going to be so heavy!
But... That's the point, right? Lol
Here's what I was thinking...
3 @ 50% - 135lb
3 @ 65% - 180lb
2 @ 75% - 205lb
1 @ 85% - 235lb
1 @ 95% - 260lb
1 @ 102% - 280lb
If I can keep going, I'll go up by 5 or 10lb.

Went to the gym. It closed early, tried to run outside, but didn’t beat the rain… soooo. Lifted random stuff in my garage! Approx 25lbs gas can!! Not dangerous right? 😂
Is this what they call “explosive power”? Asking for a friend.2 -

Thanks! I actually PRd all three lifts. Bench, squat, deads.
I followed a 7 week cycle, 4x a week, and lifted according to that. It included accessory work, varying techniques, rep abs set volumes. At the end I tested all my 1RMs and saw growth in all three. I'm going to do a deload week now, let myself recover a bit and then start at week one again, using the new PR numbers as the baseline.0 -

@KickassAmazon76 You feel a 1 week deload will be sufficient? How are your joints holding up?
