Thanks guys! I know that my form was a bit wobbly in these vids. I really wore myself out with the 235x3, so I found it hard to finish my set as planned (well, with an extra 5lbs because it was way easier to go down to 225 than 220 LOL). It's funny how it negatively impacted my mindset and how I mentally approached the rest of the set (which also likely impacted my performance).
Anyhoo, just wanted to comment on the fact that I know my form wasn't golden.

Wobbly form or not, you completed the lift. Sounds like success to me!1

This is a summary of my last 4 weeks on the RYSE app. I was using bodyspace but it seems to have died.
Ignore the PRs... All the initial lifts were PRs until I started repeating them. 😊
I'm pretty proud of the weight moved, the distance traveled, and the total time. 😁

NO! You got beaten by the Amazing Amazon Sandy!
And don't worry about it, she is just hella strong. Out of this world!
On serious note, never compare yourself to others, only to yourself to see if you make progression.
You only recently started, right? So 80kg is pretty good1 -
@Minion_training_program Sadly not, I've lifted on and off for years but always stuck to hypetrophy. This is my first time really going for strength training.
I realised it doesn't matter how many reps you can do on a lat pull down, if you're not developing strength you'll never be able to do a pull up.
I'm toying with sticking to strength training until I can increase the reps to hypetrophy range packing on some muscle mass then finding my next 1rm and repeating the cycle.0 -

Well, so new to the lifting the way you are doing now.
No gym newbie, but appraoching it differently this time
And sounds like a solid plan my friend! Looking forward to your progression0 -
@Minion_training_program That's pretty accurate. New to this style of lifting but not new to the gym at all. It's a second home to me.
So when I was early 20's and a complete idiot ego lifter I absolutely destroyed my back and and took me around 2 years to get back to a normal-ish state. After that I decided to research lifting alot more to protect myself. I ended up doing a basic personal trainer course and do lots of reading on it my spare time.
The most important thing I've learnt is to listen to your body and lift the way you enjoy, otherwise you won't stick to it.
Originally I had barbell row instead of pull ups but they just don't feel right for me. I tried T bar rows, still doesn't feel right. I was going to go for Cable rows but wanted something more compound so went for pull ups.
Also was doing over head press but my front delts where hurting, probably because they're getting worked on dumbbell bench press pretty hard, so I cut them out.
And I do 2 minutes rest instead of between 3 and 5 because I get bored lol. I did one session with 5 minutes rest and I was able to lift like 10kgs heavier on all lifts... but it was so boring.

Haha thanks Gus! @Leo_King84.... Gus is right.. I'm not your average "girl". I am 6'1", 47 yo, and 198lbs of awesomeness. 😂😂
I have no doubt that you'll get there 😊1 -
@leo_king84, I alternate hypertrophy workouts with strength-based workouts, and my rest times rarely exceed 2 minutes, never go above 3 unless I'm gunning for a 1RM, which I only test every 3 months at most, usually less frequently than that.1

@KickassAmazon76 6'1" I see why you have amazon in your name now. You'd never need to wear high heels.0

Need to? Maybe not... Choose to? Yep!0 -
Tonight was pretty great overall. Many of you know how hard it was for me to get 275lb 1 for deads. So it feels special to see that weight as my working set and to have the bar move so nicely!
Tonight's workout...
Bench: 10x65lb, 5x95lb, 3x115lb, 3x125lb, 14x95lb
Deads: 10x135lb, 5x165lb, 3x195lb, 3x235lb, 3,3,5,4x275lb
Leg press: 10x 409lb, 9x499lb, 2x589lb
The machine felt off and at that point I realized the back was tipped further back than I was used to. Reset it and did another
10,8x499
Leg extensions: 4x10x125lb
Leg curls: 4x10,8x112.5
Assisted pullup: 8,7,6,4 x130lb (assist was 70lb)
Skull crushers: 3x8x50lb
DB Hammer curls: 3x10x22.5lb each

Pleased.3 -
Made it through all four workouts this week, and hadn't increased weight used in a single set of a single exercise all week, when normally I can count on at least one, often two increases from one week to the next. Was gonna chalk it up as just a blah week, when for my last set of calf raises, the last exercise of the week, I went ahead and added another 10# for the set of 15, felt like I could have done more. Yay, calves to the rescue!2

Yay for calves!
I have been frustrated with lat pull downs / face pulls / assisted pullups. Well... most upper body things because I push to failure every time and yet can't seem to get more reps per set without sacrificing form. I've started adding a fourth set to increase total volume, but those gains are tough to eke out.
Chin up. You're doing awesome and I envy the weight you can move!0
