Hey everyone!
Let this thread be for posting any of the following:
- Brag about a PR you just hit!
- Post any random videos of yourself lifting, including but not limited to said PRs
- Talk about what you did in the gym today
- Support others
- General chatter about your training
Keep it civil of course. But this will be the social thread for the above items.

I have been sick and feeling week as a kitten the last three trips to the gym. I deloaded 10% on Deadlift from last weeks 5RM and couldn't do 3.
And I had to do my workout in reverse because one of the PT's was training a new client on squats and hex bar DL... supersetting in the only wrack.

Here's a clip from tonight. I encourage you guys to upload vids too at your leisure.
I messed up the narration -- the bench was 210, 195,195.
Squat was 275, 260, 260 (last set not uploaded).
Pulled some singles at 315 on deads but didn't upload.

Matt do you still have that Steinborn 315 clip? I think people would get a kick out of that. That and all the other crazy gym *kitten* you do.0 -

You are a monster to have even attempted that. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it with much more than 2 plates.0 -
Brouse does some crazy *kitten*.
Matt, Stienborn vid please?

Ain't no day like deadlift day. Oddly enough I've added weight despite a huge deficit for the last 6 weeks (1500+ deficit). Gotta love DLs.0 -
I'll play! Before I got injured I was working on pull ups; I can now do 7 sets of 2, I'll work up to 8 sets of 2 before dropping down to triples. Here's a single double0

Yeah I realised I don't know how to post videos lol ill learn and come back lol

Good speed on those pulls! I'm also in a significant deficit and adding weight. I forgot that is impossible, drat.0 -

I'm actually thinking that mylighter body weight is allowing me to DL and (especially) squat more. Less total weight being moved :P0 -

It is figured that 72-77% of your body weight is involved in the lift for both those, so as you drop weight, very true it better be going up on the bar somewhat.

Also makes the estimated 1RM change.

Sweet. Now I can say that my deadlift is over 700lbs gross.0 -
I finally hit a triple at 315 on squats today. They've been kicking my *kitten*. Got 3x3x310, but couldn't hit more than a double on 315.0
