you'll find once you get started, you'll be wanting to take layers off instead

Ya I start every workout in 3 layers, hoodie over sweatshirt over shirt. Then sweats over shorts. After two warmups I’m gtg. I walk to my gym tho

This is not normal

So far April is a bust, I hate running on the treadmill

just put clothes on 😁

White people run in the snow

It gets really icy and I don't want to fall

>Phone died so now have to wait for it to charge back up so I can listen to my music while lifting

@Suomi Stronk

I'm just gonna binge watch Metapocalypse until it's changed

Just found the whole series on Hulu

You shouldn't need music if you're truly dedicated to gains...

I'd rather not listen to people speaking Spanish while I'm listening @The Huwhyte Ulf - VA

any cues to protect the low back on deadlifts? gets harder as I move up in weight

@Pat-MA My motto is if you're feeling it in your back, you're not doing it right. Focus more on using your legs and keep your chest up

but you definitely will feel it in your lower back to an extent though right?

To an extent, yes, but I fix it by proper stretching prior and after the workout

Focus on strengthening your lower back if you're having a lot of issues

I feel it in my low back a good amount. It doesnt hurt or anything

Also, try doing hex bar deadlifts if regular deadlifts are bothering you too much

isnt that the same thing as a squat though

Benedikt Magnusson told us at a seminar to lean back like you're almost falling backwards, then pull

It saves strain on the back

Unless you're doing sumo, in which case only God can help you

Not really, IMO. @Pat-MA

Appreciate it boys

Hex bar I feel in my glutes like a mofo. I work up to 4 sets of 5 then halve the plate number and go for 20

Last night I had my first workout on my new home gym. It was magical. I did squats, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press.

All of the essentials^

@ThisIsChris awesome bro. I'll add you to the list of guys I'm jealous of haha

@ThisIsChris Nice. I'm jealous of the home gym as well. One day I'll be as cool as you. 🏋

@Deleted User Narrow foot placement too, that makes it even more impressive!

the deadlift isn't the impressive part for him at all

this lad deadlifts 880 btb

I swear the hardest part about deadlifting heavy isn't the actual lift, but getting all those damn plates off after you're already exhausted.

tbh^

half the workout is always loading the bar
