    I've been learning / trying out sumo deads. (I've tried them in maybe 4 workouts now)

    I'm really loving how solid the form feels, and was in near heaven when I threw them into the bar path analysis app.

    Here's a sampling of both sumo and conventional deads.

    So good to see you! Nice work!

    Thank you so much! I have been really busy at work lately, so I've been keeping pretty quiet lately. Working out 2x a week generally.

    Hope you are well! ❤️

    I never posted a gif on this thread before, because i always feel ashamed of how i look, and i only post it on my profile, but i feel so proud of my achievement yesterday, that i wanted to share it this time.

    Working my way to bodyweight squats, and seeing that i came from 60% of BW when i started this 7 week program, up to almost 80% yesterday, is a big deal for me

    Why be embarrassed? None of us are competing, I don’t think. I think your depth is fabulous.

    Both posting and squatting. And humor. I’ve seen your posts around. 😉

    Agree with @springlering62, enviable depth right there. If my quick math and plate tally is right you've added ~20kg to your squat in 7 weeks? That's fantastic!

    @steveko89 You are correct about the increased weight on my squat, well almost i guess
    When i started this 7 week program (10 weeks ago actually, due to circumstances i have had 3 weeks no training) my 1RM was 65kg, and my form was much worse, bar path moved forward and back in the vertical line a lot more.

    This here was 80,75 kg (gotta love microplates) but for 2/2/3 reps so i estimate that my 1RM is probably 5-6 kg higher, realising how well the bar moved.
    So yeah i was really happy with that.

    Next week i am gonna test my 1RM on squat, deadlift and bench and then start another round of this mesocycle.
    My aim, when it comes to weights, is to get to bodyweight squat for 5-8 reps by end of the year, 1.5x bodyweight on DL for 3-5 reps and 1xBW on Bench

    So, I can still not insert images in threads...lame. I lifted today and went lighter on squats but heavier on bench. Squats were great at 130lbs 5x5, bench was solid at 100lbs 5x5. My body was not happy with hex bar deadlifts. My upper and lower back are uncomfortable tonight.
