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…

Need to? Maybe not... Choose to? Yep!

looking great, Twitch! No filter needed!

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 😊

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. 😁
-
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…

Is this you? Cool vid!

Screwed up my lifts and ended up accidentally lifting heavier than intended*. The surprise of the weight threw me off, but I got it done. As it turns out, it was a 3RM PR for me. 😁 Squats: 10x95lb, 3x135lb, 3x165lb, 3x195lb,3x235lb*, 3,4,3x225lb. (note the vid is 225) OHP: 5x70lb, 5x5x65lb Lat pulldown: 9,8,7,6x120lb…

Great work and welcome to the thread!

If you ask my physiotherapist he would maintain that this is the safest way to bench because full ROM in a bench press is hard on the rotator cuff. No matter how you do an exercise, someone is going to cheer it and someone will criticise it. Lol Just keep being your awesome self! And post vids! Haha
-
I can't ever seem to do it through the app, but I can using a browser. Have you tried doing it that way?
-
thank you for this video! I have been apprehensive of trying equipment differently, so this helps!
-
Curious...regarding Face pulls These seem to be one of those exercises where I don't really feel muscle fatigue or a burn while doing them... I just get to a point where I can't get the full ROM anymore. Does anyone have other exercises they do instead of face pulls? I know they are often recommended to offset bench and…

These last few days have been really heavy emotionally (said goodbye to my kitty of 17years) and I did not want to go to the gym last night. I didn't think I'd be able to do my lifts and didn't even want to walk on the treadmill. But I went. I got on the treadmill already preparing myself for how I'd lower my squat weights…

Thank you 😊
-
Wow! Well done! 👏 👏
-
Hell yes! Excellent work!

Happy Friday all!

Epic!!! Absolutely epic!!

Last night I had a great workout. Squats went solidly and my 3rd set worked out to a calculated 1rm of just over 250, so yay! Depth was also pretty good. I did some leg presses. Tried changing up the foot height and position to get better ROM. Some random on the interwebs said I was ego lifting the 5 plates and sacrificing…

It's back again, never fully left. Happening frequently in Google Chrome browser (haven't tried Edge). Happens regularly when you try to go to a person's page, but today is also happening on the main feed.
-
@nossmf Congrats on the new PR and I'm sorry that 305 was an sob. I felt that way on my last deadlift attempt... I was sure 310 would be mine and was shocked when 305 didn't even want to go all the way up. I'm confident you will get it though! That said, if you did start chasing 1rms, I've heard it's better to work your…

I won't be going back to them (dips). I have been hard on my rotator cuff all my life... baseball, swimming, lifting - they all seem to aggravate it. (damn near destroyed it from playing in the outfield). I did go to physio last week and the PT said that my right shoulder is rotated inward some. That I am pec dominant and…
-
I can imagine how painful this is. My shoulder has been acting up on me pretty regularly since I pissed it off doing dips. It's the same area and when it hurts, it's hard to think clearly. Hope the pt helps! (and quickly!)
-
This is just epic! Well done and crazy 1RMs!
-
Too cool! Can't wait til we get there!
-
Feeling excited about this... I am working towards my goals al of a 315lb deadlift. I am so close, I can almost taste it! Last night I did amap reps at 225 and got 13 - and they all moved so nicely!
-
Me update... Still doing my bench experiment. Right now I'm playing around with form and have been doing half reps in the lower half to cement my form (working with a friend/former coach). We'll see how that goes, but it's not very exciting. I AM benching something almost daily though, so it'll be interesting to see if…
-
You sound so very close! Kinda wild that you are working your way to that weight on BENCH, while I'm fighting to get there for Deads. LOL BEAST MODE MIKE. You totally need to break the no film rule for your bench PR. I'm sure they'd be ok with it. It would be awesome to see (and for you to have) for posterity!
