Hey everyone. I'm starting to really get excited about lifting heavy. It's so much fun!

So now I'm trying to find some pals that like to lift heavy too.

Is there anyone out there? :happy:

    I try to lift heavy, it seems to get me a lot more motivated in the gym when I hit a new high

    So long as your form is good, push your muscles to their limits of failure or fatigue. Break em down to build em up!

    Exactly right, I have been lifting for a long time now and often with pro athletes too often the focus is on going heavy rather that form.

    Bench 352lbs, Squat 462lbs unsure of deadlift as we dont get tested on that one
