    Nice job. Way to stick with it.

    Can I offer a tiny bit of advice? Your hand position seems a bit wide. When they are wide it puts you at a mechanical disadvantage. You have to go lower to get to the bar. Try hanging your arms straight down and see where your hands hit. Every fraction of an inch in getting a higher set up can make a big difference.

    This is solid advice. I was given the same advice a few months ago and I actually brought my entire stance in. my arms actually squeeze right up against my legs now.

    I like that fight! Way to stick with it and get it up @gabbiil

    Many times I had to deload and rebuild my squat to get it to be move like that... arg. Worth all the frustration and humiliation though.

    My OHP/PP that bad?

    It doesn't look bad at a glance (kind of a bad angle to really look at form) but it just seems excessively weak compared to your other lifts, especially in comparison to a similar lift like bench press. But now that I think of it, didn't you just start training overhead work recently? That would make more sense.

    That's all true and yeah, this is my third week back training them. I want to bring this lift back up so starting this week I will be training it twice a week.

    Did I shame you into it? Sorry about that. If it makes you feel better I am deloading my squats to ~275x5 range (which used to be warm-up weight).

    Shame? Nope. Actually, for not pressing for as long as I have I am actually quite surprised I can still press as much as I can. But as many times as I have had to retool my squat and deadlift and bench press, this is no biggie - its all part of training.

    And why twice a week? Well, I had rack pulls programmed twice, but after three weeks I've decided that I need the press more, because I'm planning to introduce some weightlifting (as accessories) come this spring when I can train in my garage again.

    Why are you deloading so much @DopeItUp ? Injury?

    Just to triple this.

    That 2xBW is closer than you think if you bring the arms in and activate the lats a touch more.

    Great pulling!

    This is going to make me sad to post, but yesterday:



    2.5kg off of 1.5xBW. Which I thought would be next month easy.

    This morning: dislocated my shoulder. Guess that 1.5xBW is going to have to wait a while...

    @Iron_Miss_Canada a few powerlifters at my gym competed at Canadians and at least one (that I know of) was a referee. He said he was very impressed by the ladies!

    Nice lifts @sventheviking

    I'd like to get an axle bar for my garage gym. Might DIY one in the meantime.
