Damn, ring dip with 45lbs, that's awesome. I can't even do one BW ring dip.0

@juliewatkin @ovidnine @DopeItUp Thx! I'm trying to build the ring dips. Same with weighted pullups. But as I gain bw, things are getting difficult lol. Currently 195-200lb.0

I need to get my weighted pullups back to where they were. A little over a year ago I was doing 3x5 (1 set wide, 1 neutral, 1 underhand) with 65-75 at a BW of about 185 while working through the Stronglifts 5x5 program.
I really wanted to get up to two 45lb plates.0 -
I'm so excited I can share a video with you guys- I gotta figure out how to link an instrgram video- but it's only 190 pounds... but it's the most EVEN "fixed" squat I've squatted since I started going to physical therapy in July.
Seriously- I almost cried- I thought I wasn't going to EVER get better. I still desperately need work- but it was a HUGE step in the right direction.0 -

I hear that. Especially the relief when you realise you aren't going to move like an arthritic badger for the rest of your life. Quite an emotional moment when you see some light at the end of the rehab tunnel!
Solid work!0 -
Nice job. It looks pretty solid. You have the bar quite high. I'm sure your shoulders are happier than mine

Nice work @JoRocka ! Glad recovery/PT is starting to get you some results!
I like the music at your gym better than at mine. lol we can play our own music in the "back" room- it's smaller- and it's where they have the bumper plates for OLY lifting- so that's actually my music

Yeah- it made me SUPER happy- I can't wait to show my Chiro/PT team the video today.
It's kind of funny- you see I'm straight (the areforementioned issue was substantial left twist back and at the bottom of the squat it was dropping down- almost 2-3" Lower than the right hip. Serious back/hip/leg issues waiting to happen under load.
But you can see that left leg is wobbly as hell in the new working position. So it's a good sign- but kind of funny to me.0 -
Awesome work Jo! Knowing that all the hard rehab work is paying off is priceless! @JoRocka0

No shame in videoing haha! Nice work!0 -
Following! I'm excited to see stuff about your awesome bench!0 -

Nice form and depth for such a heavy weight.0 -
@McCloud33 Ya, my current goal is 3plates (135). I attempted 107.5lb the other day, but was 2in from bar. I like to do pyramid sets. Like bw x10, +25x5, +45x3, +70x1, +90x1, +105x1, +90x2, +45x10, max bw. But somedays, I'll just do 20 sets of 10bw.0

Oh is that who just followed me? I was like- I'm a hater- she has a huge deadlift. damn- totally going to go creep her feed LMAO
sad deadlifts are sad. also 270 for rep squat- killer girl killer.0 -
Good stuff @ROBOTFOOD, @ash_law @JoRocka @_incogNEATo_ and @Iron_Miss_Canada. Wish I had something to share, but since I am in meet prep again, I got nothing. Hopefully, I'll have some meet video next week to share.1

@nakedraygun I always look forward to conversations about your meet!
Also, I'll do some tagging as well: @JoRocka and @ash_law I LOVE the squats!!! Glad you're both happy with your progress!
@McCloud33 that 5x5 spreadsheet shows some nice progress in a few months. I wish I could do 5 BW pull-ups so I'm super-impressed.0 -
Oh, also... @ash_law I peeped your IG and we both have a meet on Feb 20th! Good luck to you and happy lifting!0

@_incogNEATo_ It will be the smallest federated meet I've done to date. (Not like I've done many.) They released the roster a few days ago, I was happy to find out that I was not the oldest person who will be competing. (4th oldest. **Sad trombone** ) Out of the 17 committed, there is only one geared lifter. If I can't out-lift some of the whipper-snappers there, I hope to, at least, out-Wilkes them. lol_incogNEATo_ wrote: »@nakedraygun I always look forward to conversations about your meet!0 -

Thanks @_incogNEATo_ , that was my first real experience with weights. I had done p90x prior to that, but even when I was in HS and college I never hit the weight room._incogNEATo_ wrote: »@McCloud33 that 5x5 spreadsheet shows some nice progress in a few months.

@ROBOTFOOD You inspired me this moring. I did a pyramid set like you describe and was able hit 90x2, 100x1 and 107.5x1!@McCloud33 Ya, my current goal is 3plates (135). I attempted 107.5lb the other day, but was 2in from bar. I like to do pyramid sets. Like bw x10, +25x5, +45x3, +70x1, +90x1, +105x1, +90x2, +45x10, max bw. But somedays, I'll just do 20 sets of 10bw.

I need some 100lb plates though. Having more than two or three on the chain is really uncomfortable.
I've also said that I want to try the 20rep squat program once I get off of my cut in about 8 more weeks, but thought I'd give it a try with a little lower weight this morning. Here's 185x20
https://youtu.be/Nb0PqtTmBtU
trying to debate whether I want to start here at 185 and get up to 275x20 in 6 weeks (add 5lbs MWF = 15lbs/wk) or start a little higher/lower than that. The program says that you should be able to do your current 5RM for 20 at the end of the program if you eat/sleep enough.0 -

Haha thanks! I think I probably had a shot at 1 more, but I dont know about 2 more lol.0 -
@McCloud33 Nice!! Now I want to go train pullups right now lol. I've never tried that grip before. Just the standard palms facing away pullups. And I'll have to pass on the 20rep squats. Sounds like death to me. I'm huffin and puffin at rep 5.
Today's floor press PR 275. Wish my rack had 1 more hole lower so the bar doesn't hit the safteys. But what can ya do. Elbow was sore that's why I have knee sleeves on my arms. Good fit.
