@KickassAmazon76 why do you deadlift in socks? Does the arch hurt your back after you bench?
Tons of questions0 -

Well... I also go barefoot...so it depends on whether I had them on already. I lift in my basement, so I don't need to wear shoes if I don't want to. The less between your foot and the ground, the better energy transfer of the weight into the floor. I don't like shoes. Haha
As fit the bench... I have a natural arch lying flat. The extra bit of arch I use to set my shoulders and drive them into the bench doesn't hurt me at all.
Thanks for asking!2 -
@KickassAmazon76 I would always see ppl deadlifting without shoes on but I never wanted to ask.
I am trying to build my bench press back up because for 20 years my form was terrible. But I am much older now so I really dont go heavy0 -

I'm turning 45 this year and this is the heaviest I've ever lifted. I have been working very hard on my form over the past few years, to avoid injury as much as possible. Take lots of video and review. Ask for feedback.
If you have the ability... Get a coach to help you with those initial lifts in person. It makes a huge difference!2 -
Great Advice! Sorry for all the questions!0

Just make sure you have weight on your cage if you use it. Lol. I tried it without the squat bar loaded and that was almost a disaster. 😂
Thanks for the heads up about the FR. I don't usually pay attention to them...I'm not the best friend in the world. 😳😖0 -
Thanks for the Tip 🤣🤣🤣 I will stay on this tread for workout tips from ppl1

Then I hurt my hip. I have been slowly rehabbing it ever since and have been basing my squats on a max lift of 205.
Tonight I tested my squat 1RM... And I did 240lbs! A gain of ten pounds on my best ever! I am sooooo happy!!!
That look you gave after 240....happy satisfaction with some pride....awesome feeling...gratz.1 -

Thank you! I was so happy!!1 -
I'm testing my deadlift 1RM. I am super nervous! I want to do well and I know it's going to be so heavy!
But... That's the point, right? Lol
Here's what I was thinking...
3 @ 50% - 135lb
3 @ 65% - 180lb
2 @ 75% - 205lb
1 @ 85% - 235lb
1 @ 95% - 260lb
1 @ 102% - 280lb
If I can keep going, I'll go up by 5 or 10lb.
