Quit complaining and start lifting! Cast of the chains that bind you and act like the European man that you are! Get in there and tear those muscle fibers. If you can walk tomorrow without pain we'll all know you didnt train hard enough.

heyo I had leg day today

pretty good sess

@BigBadSaxon - ID unironically, people yelling at me give me more motivation than people cheering me on. Go figure.

It was a roll of the dice whether that would be dickish or motivating. Never know if I can go full drill sergeant with folk or not

An old man I care for fell tonight while I was working with him. He’s not huge but he’s probably about 200 lbs. got him back up and into bed safely. Thank god I was there and not one of the females who also work with him, otherwise he would’ve been in some serious shit.

Kind of a random thing to post here but I guess it’s technically lifting 💪🏻

@Grossly Incandescent Good man!

Couldn’t do back squats today because both my knees were bugging me. Had to do leg press instead :/

I have overuse wear and tear from playing lots of basketball

Nighttime lifting is great 👌

<#388502404641062924> Can anyone offer some advice on how to avoid scuffing up my leg (about 2.5" below knee) while deadlifting? I've got quite a nasty scar there now that gets reopened and bloody every time I DL. Just for the record, I'm pretty tall and am focused on proper form so as not to destroy my back. Any advice would be appreciated. (Even if it's "man up and deal with it, you pussy") 😏

wear long socks

problem solved

@Deleted User Thanks, I'll give that a shot

Man up and deal with it, you pussy.

Those scars are badges of honor.

😂 👆🏻

@Sonic Specifically deadlift socks are made for just that reason! Or wear long pants. Or get blood on the bar and enjoy the pain.

@Sonic

"Take the pain"

Yeah I wear socks and sweats or long pants on back/pull day and I've only ever had to deal with bruises or lil scratches

Damn, I wear sweats but still rip up the leg

if it means anything to you, scraping your legs is exactly what any pl coach would say is optimal

even sheiko says so

So I ended up buying a leg press for my garage gym. Did I just waste my money?

Leg presses are useful. Just dont expect them to replace whole body exercises like squats

Yeah, I need to work on my core strength to help out with squats. I'm having a tough time going ass to grass and back up.

Stretch, my guy.

Deadies

5x6 at 315 and then x2 at 405. Pretty alright day.

Nice work. I'm still in recovery after getting my vasectomy reversal. It'll be a while before I can get back in the gym.

Was that too much info?

Proud of u

Thanks big guy. 👍

Your leg looks like it hurts

Hope everyone is making good gains so far in 2019!

Hit 405 DL after herniating my L4-L5 disc a year ago. Hoping to break 500 this year
