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

2018-04-10 00:46:49 UTC  

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

2018-04-10 00:47:17 UTC  

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

2018-04-10 00:47:28 UTC  

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

2018-04-10 00:47:36 UTC  

isnt that the same thing as a squat though

2018-04-10 00:56:01 UTC  

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

2018-04-10 00:56:09 UTC  

It saves strain on the back

2018-04-10 00:56:38 UTC  

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

2018-04-10 00:57:10 UTC  

Not really, IMO. @Pat-MA

2018-04-10 00:59:19 UTC  

Appreciate it boys

2018-04-11 12:54:54 UTC  

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.

2018-04-15 21:40:18 UTC  

All of the essentials^

2018-04-15 22:38:12 UTC  

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

2018-04-16 14:52:36 UTC  

@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!

2018-04-20 01:28:56 UTC  

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

2018-04-20 01:29:15 UTC  

this lad deadlifts 880 btb

2018-04-20 02:00:06 UTC  

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.

2018-04-20 02:18:43 UTC  

tbh^

2018-04-20 02:18:58 UTC  

half the workout is always loading the bar

2018-04-20 02:19:21 UTC  

Sometimes I just leave it

2018-04-21 14:31:27 UTC  

Come on, @Deleted User! Don't leave the weight out.

2018-04-21 17:35:03 UTC  

It's in my home so idgaf 😅

2018-04-21 20:36:54 UTC  

Well, that changes everything. In that case, that allows everyone who visits to see how strong you are. 💪

2018-04-21 20:41:59 UTC  

true, true haha

2018-04-23 20:09:07 UTC  

You *did* do your squats today... Right, Anon?

2018-04-23 20:18:38 UTC  

NO

2018-04-23 20:57:16 UTC  

Deadlifts over squats any day

2018-04-23 20:57:51 UTC  

tru

2018-04-23 23:50:25 UTC  

Fucked up my knee the other day and hyperextendeded it real badly. Getting an MRI Wednesday but it looks like I'll be benching 4x a week for the foreseeable future. 🇫

2018-04-23 23:52:13 UTC  

ffff

2018-04-24 00:28:05 UTC  

@Nick-NJ sorry to hear that. how did it happen?

2018-04-24 03:16:38 UTC  

G R I P S T R E N G T H

2018-04-24 16:38:15 UTC  

Squat every day.

2018-04-29 22:17:59 UTC  

found a 10 rep max at 320 today on deadlift 🤷

2018-04-30 01:35:07 UTC  

@Deleted User estimated 1 rep max of 406. Does that sound accurate to you?

that's what I'm shooting for, but those 1rm calculators are always weird
