    You guys are awesome. I will say this thread makes me kind of sad though because I can barely do squats unweighted or with a few lbs. :/

    Ok so this is nothing compared to all of you but I seriously proud of this (95kg weighing in at 77kg) and looking forward to attempting the 100kg in a couple of weeks (not sure how to embed a video so don't know if this will work)

    Good job! Be sure to keep your back straight during the pull. It's quite rounded in that video and that can lead to injury as the weight gets heavier. Try doing hip hinge exercises. Google for hip hinge with a broomstick. This exercise will help you learn what it feels like to be in the correct position.

    Everyone starts somewhere. Never feel bad about where you are or the work you do.

    Don't ever compare yourself to others. There will always be someone better, stronger, and faster than you. Just be better than the person you were yesterday.

    That is so great. Congrats!
    Seemed like the only people willing to post here were the people who were absolutely sure they heaved around massive, incomparable weights. Always good to know, and see, that everyone can work and set goals and meet them! Even regular folks like me!

    Was messing around today and got a 55lb weighted ring dip. (10lb PR) Happy because I haven't touched rings in like 5mo!

    I own the same bar and have had very similar results with it. plus its good for farmers walks and of course shrugs.

    As a side note I ordered mine from jet.com got their first 3 orders with 15% off and free shipping. Only thing I have to complain about is that it looks like at some point along its journey from China it was drug along the road behind a truck for about 20 miles and there were some spots where the knurling was rubbed away but its on the top of the handles so it shouldn't ever effect any of my lifts.

    Ya. I LOVE farmers walks!!

    Pretty sure it's on CAPS end. Mine is the same. Not many scuffs, just the knurling. It's fine though because mine are WAY aggressive!

    I'm probably going to get some FATGRIPS to put on it too. And for Dumbbells.

    Do videos have to be posted on YouTube first? I have a DL vid I'd like feedback on, but don't want to put it in YT.

    I think most of us would consider ourselves to be intermediate lifters......? I know I am. There's tons of people out there lifting incomparable weights for me.
    We all started out with the bar. Most of us have just been at it for a few years. And we still have goals to get better.

    this is 100% accurate.

    But we welcome all here who want to share their work. The work is never wrong no matter how heavy it is for any one person.

    Oh definitely! I'm pretty sure this is one of the best threads on here because all of the "regulars" are such great people.
    The way that comment was phrased just kind of rubbed me the wrong way... it's not like we're trying to shun people who aren't on that level. Maybe I interpreted it differently than it was intended, but yeah...
    Everyone is welcome here. It's for PERSONAL bests! ☺️

    Sometimes comments come off as passive aggressive "we aren't good enough to be here b/c we don't X"- and that's annoying because I don't think a single person here has ever implied that. So yes- it can.

    Sometimes it's just "man I'm not worthy" and other times- it feels like more of a subtle petty jab. I hear you. 100%

    Not my best form... but that's 100 kg or 220.5 lbs. New PR

    Congrats on your new PR! That's more than I can hook grip.

    220 double over hand is great!!

    I am betting you have more in you with an alternate grip as well (something to consider- unless you're doing hook grip- which I can't tell)

    Haven't been on in awhile but looks like everyone is kicking some serious *kitten*. I feel like I halted on 5/3/1 do to a lack of weekly volume. Does anyone know of another percentage based program with with movements being performed 2-3 times a week? I was told to check out juggernaut training but all I can find are Ebooks with zero depiction of the programs or information in them. Thanks any recommendations are appreciated!

    Thank you. I'm very proud. Didn't start to deadlift until November 2016 so I'm extremely happy about this and I can't wait to do better.

    I'm using double over hand and no hook grip. I thought that was only used with the snatch grip? Time thread and learn about grips I think.

    Thank you :D

    Hook is considered top shelf by many if you can do it once weight is too heavy for double overhand.

    Really comes down to preference.

    I try to hook but it creates havoc on my hand joints that are anot her story.

    Did 275 lbs for 12 sets of 2 reps with 1 minute of rest between sets. Not heavy at all but I'm just working on my form and my work capacity. I also used the trap bar for my first time today, it worked out pretty well but I still gotta work on my form on them as my back was starting to round. Nothing too impressive but just going with the basics.

    Double overhand with that weight is even more impressive! At the end of your video, it looked like you were shaking your hand so I assumed that was because your thumb hurt from hook grip.

    I have tried to run 5/3/1 at least 4 different times using different templates and every time I feel like my strength has stalled on it too. I have made much more progress using a higher frequency, daily undulating periodization (DUP) style program. I'm currently in my 5th cycle of Layne Norton's PH3 Trainer, which is a free program on bodybuilding.com. It has you squat and bench 3 times a week and deadlift twice a week and includes a lot of accessory work after the big lifts.

    I've been lifting for years- never gone hook grip- I can't handle (I do not believe) that kind of pressure on my thumbs- I just do alternate grip and go with that.

    I don't do snatch grip DL to often- so nah- just an observation- no judgment- if you feel like you are starting to struggle with holding the weight you might consider alternate grip. (make sure you alternate though- it will/can eff your spine/shoulders/alignment up if you don't)

    I can pull double over for a little over that- and then that's it- so you may have some more in you yet with double over hand- I train as high as I can in a training session using double over- then switch to alternate.

    I was curious about hook grip and rack pulled up to 500 a while back. It hurt, but I could deal with it. My hands are kinda big though. So If I ever forget straps, it's a nice option.
    DOH no hook is currently at 405 for maybe 2-3.
    I'd recommend trap bar for building grip strength. Mine is currently skyrocketing.

    I don't think I even attempt DOH for warming up with 135 at this point... #lazy
    I never alternate hands either, probably why I'm "effed up" lol

    Mixed grip has really surprised me the last 8 months or so that I've been actually deadlifting heavyish. The first month or two I struggled a bit, I think I dropped 265 before lockout for a single. (crappy bar though, might have even been thicker than standard. I've since learned which bars are "acceptable" at this gym, but they still stink)
    Some liquid chalk had me pulling something like 265x9 last week with little to no grip problems. When I was doing lower reps I think I hit 300x3 fine too. I usually decide I'm too tired to keep pulling before my grip starts to give. I've never done any grip work, just kept grinding and eventually it caught up.

    My DOH non-hook grip PR is 405 for 1. I think I've only tried hook grip up to 315, but I don't train it consistently enough to condition my thumbs.

    Yesterday I pulled 530x4 mixed grip with chalk on a crappy smooth bar and had no grip issues. I must be "effed up" too since I never alternate hands. Left hand over, right hand under for life!!! Or at least until I tear my right bicep...

    ^ I have heard of people finding that one lat (etc) is larger/stronger from not alternating. Among many other potential problems.
    I can definitely see why it's a good idea to alternate.

    So far I just.... haven't.
