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

Sometimes I just leave it

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

It's in my home so idgaf 😅

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

true, true haha

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

NO

Deadlifts over squats any day

tru

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. 🇫

ffff

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

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

Squat every day.

found a 10 rep max at 320 today on deadlift 🤷

@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

If you're pushing 320 for 10 you should be able to get high 300s at least

Yeah 320 for 10 is tough to calculate, but what he said ^

Does anyone know of a cardio program you can do on a weight bench?!?

Why do you have to do a cardio program on a weight bench

I don’t have to, just wondering if there was such a thing and how well it worked

You could do like step ups or something

Second week of only benching and upper body. The doc said I tore my mcl and pcl so I'm in a straight leg brace until further notice.

I guess I never really used much leg drive though, because benching today wasn't much harder even though I had to keep my legs straight out the whole time

@Nick-NJ damn. How’d that happen?

@Nick-NJ does that mean when you heal you could put up even more if you use more leg drive? If so that's very impressive.

@Deleted User Wrestling a buddy of mine. I got him to tap out but at the expense of my knee hyper extending to the right.

@JesseJames hopefully man. Since bench is all I'm focusing on, I'm trying to hit the big 4 plate PR by the end of summer once this heals

Thats awesome bro! You're a beast!

Thanks man, hopefully goes as planned

💪🏼

I got stitches on my thumb, so grateful that it's in a spot that doesn't impede my training

woulda been a tad bit *irate*

anybody got a guide introductory guide to powerlifting?
