I haven't been training my pullups this cycle, but I figured I'd see where I'm at
I got 20 pullups in
Not too bad
for 185 bw
I have a home setup with a powerrack but all you really need is a barbell and weights. That is it. You can get crazy strong on all the major excercises with just a bar bell. Cleaning the bar for ohp or front squat is how old timers in the 50s got strong. You only need the rack for 1rm bench work or low bar squats that you can't bail out of. Don't stress about equipment. One advice i would give is to buy a new bar. You do not want a bent bar. Sometimes used bars are bent because some asshat was doing rack pulls with them. What happens when you get heavy and you start getting that whip in the bar, the bar can roll in your hands and slip out. It is not something you can see but it can hurt you. I have used this bar for years from Amazon.

What's your strongest pull
btb/conventional/sumo?
Conventional. And I've hit 500 before.
gg
my strongest is defo behind the back
leverages are weird that way
which wasn't too hard, but granted then my conventional wasn't even 350
I should have a conventional now of 405 when I finish this cycle
Am stronk 💪🏻
Honestly though once you figure out how to maximize your glutes and hammies deadlift is pretty easy imo
Doesn't kill my knee like squatting does as well
yeah I've engrained alot better muscle recruitment this time around
Actually feeling my glutes
Mental muscle recruitment is far from a meme
my legs make it so there isnt a difference between a stiff leg dl and a normal dl
I always picture my glutes and hams doing all the work, save for the last bit where I lean back
well, hardly much a difference
How do you set up? That can make a difference as well
I've done a LOT of research on my Deadlift, as it used to be my worst and most dreaded exercise
Now that I've figured things out, squats have regained that title
squats will never agree with my femur length
My knee is the biggest thing, tbh
I start hitting 400+ and my knee feels like it's on fire
I need wraps
hm
The only thing I know about having healthy knees is not letting quads overtake your hammies
