    Ever have one of those days where your ego gets the best of you in the gym and you totally go off program to keep up with some punk kid? Well this Gif is the result of what that ego lifting does when you return to program. Bad form pendlay rows. It was only 275 so I probably won’t hurt by being a dumb *kitten* but I would deserve it if I did.

    This is your PSA on why you shouldn’t ego lift.

    Sometimes its hard to leave our ego at home. (especially if you lift in the basement Hehe). I hope you don't feel bad for it, and you'll get it better next time!

    Still looks effin amazing to me. ❤️

    Today was 180lbs.i weighed in at 181.6 today.

    I did the first set of 5 at 180. And they went... Ok.

    So I added 5 pounds and did the next 4 sets at 185lbs!

    HELL YEAH! BODYWEIGHT and then a teeeeeenie tiny bit. 😂

    Granted... There was a fair bit of growling on that last rep. 😂

    Great depth, great strength, great form, great lift, and great person. Keep grinding! Before you know it you’ll be hitting that 200+ mark!

    Favorite part of my evening is checking out this forum and seeing all the awesome people grinding!

    I hate all cardio so actually pulling my *kitten* out of bed to get some steady state in is pretty good for me.

    Nice work! I like those shoes 👍

    Thank you :smiley: The shoes are Altra's. They are specifically designed for running (I don't run unless I have to) but I keep buying the brand because they make the toe box wide so the toes can spread out.

    It is a drag, but I'm told it's important to overall health. If it would quit being cold, snowy, and Icy here I'd take the doggo out because that would be so much more enjoyable.

    I love this thread - you guys are all so inspiring!

    Still rehabbing my back after the last fusion - I'll be over in the corner with my 5 lb dumbbells and resistance bands. :(

    Nothing wrong with light dumbbells and resistance bands, especially when recovering. Feel free to share those as well!

    Idk how to post a video on here but pretty psyched that the 215 I pulled during my meet last month I was able to pull for 4.... 215 may not sound like much but I’m 122 and 4’11 so it sure does feel like it 🤣

    Ok so this is probably silly. I really want to do chinups again. I struggle with them (partly cuz I can't find anywhere to get a full hang, or even an almost full hang, and it seems to bother my back to tuck my legs in front or behind). Anyways, I digress.

    So now I am doing 3 sets of 4 chinups. The first one or two, I can usually get all the way up. Then I put my feet on my bar and try to assist as little as possible, being sure to go all the way full hang and back up.

    I definitely feel it working, and I'm getting stronger... But here's my silly chinup training gif.

    I may change it to pull up, though, because the straight bar is not the best feel on my wrists. And pullups are cooler.

    I think it’s a genius adaptation! Good job!!
