Also, if I dip my blow pop in my pre, is that like a grown up, gym rat version of fun dip?
Haha you're adorable! Happy Valentine's day and may your lifts be heavy but feel crazy light!
Boxing is on the schedule for today... And since that doesn't GIF well, I'll be quiet in here. Haha
Well, ok... Not quiet, I'll be cheering all you awesome folk on! ❤️3 -
Got all my targets today 🤗 so freaking psyched. I recently had Covid and was so scared it would screw up my progress, 69 days till my meet 😬

been unplugged the last couple of days. Missed out on everyone’s lifts. Great lifts and efforts all!
405# went up almost like it was nothing.
465# Not so much- Body said no, even though the mind said yes. If you look closely you can see I cleared about 1 centimeter... I’ve done it before, will try again in a couple of weeks.
Still ahead of schedule to hit 500 by June. Ultimate dream goal is 700 but that’s a ways off.7 -

Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I feel like 465 looked like it was going up but you stopped before you started.... maybe you were in your head? You def moved that 405 like it was nothing!

Maybe... I feel like I wasn’t going to hold form if I kept pulling and it wasn’t worth it to me today to take that risk. That and I ate like crap yesterday and was definitely feeling sluggish. Either way always go for it in a couple weeks.3 -

The one that stands out is our arching your back into a curve when you bench press. It hurts your spine.

I disagree, it is actually preferable to arch your back while pressing as the weight of the bar is not loaded onto the spine. The arch will strengthen the lift, allow greater use of the pec muscles and protect the shoulders. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to arch for dead’s or squats, but for the press the same rules do not apply.5 -

If you're going to troll, at least be funny rather than an outright bore. It's proper form when trolling. If you need lessons, I can help.10 -

By all means... Feel free to post your gifs to show us your superior form. We'd love to see them. 29 pages and your only comment is to tell me that my form is crap? Nice.
Look forward to seeing your gifs.6 -

Lookin good man. Like Jennacole said....it looks like maybe your head left that weight down, not your strength. It happens, 405 looked like 135 so i know you got this 👍.1 -

Good strength brother! Are you pushing strength on all your compound lifts?

Thank you! I’m about 15 days post diagnosis but don’t get me wrong I wasn’t aiming for reps bc that’s when my breathing/coughing gets impacted. With all the days off from covid I was stressing, but seems it didn’t hurt me too much. My numbers are already tight to qualify for this meet so I was scared it would take me out of the running.2 -

Yes! Relatively new powerlifter, In the past I was focused on bodybuilding, but then my show got canceled last May, due to Covid and I switched into PWL, two meets in and I’m hooked.
This is however my first attempt at a Strongman event.... the meet is an Autism event and I’m competing in my sons name. I was able to put together, a team of 6 and a nutrition company is sponsoring us (Team Alex 😭) I’m excited, but my current numbers are close to the requirements just not quite there yet. I’m scared I won’t qualify, imagine putting this whole team together and then having to tell them all sorry I didn’t make it 😫 I apologize for the long winded answer 🤣9
