My gym journey 💪
Workout videos/pics 🏋️
Over head press PB
95 kg
This was definitely at 100% max! Second attempt. The breathing was so important for this.
Rodger squat 👌
240 kg - 6 pause reps
This was my 3rd set, so added the pause at the bottom which was brutal! Full ROM, pause rep.
Deadlift session yesterday! 💪
Kg/Reps
170 - 5
220 - 1
200 - 3, 3
First time going for anything over 210 kg for the last 5-6 weeks while I focus on keeping my hips movement within the 9/10 inch before I break the ground, to allow my knees to get out of the way because I have to deadlift from a squatting position ( long torso ).
So I’ve been working the same weight and numbers over, and over, and over until it felt normal. The 220 kg felt like the rest of my sets, so I’ve got my hips under control within the range I need them to move.
Deadlifts 💪
170 - 5
190 - 4
210 - 2
200 - 3
Another week of just working on my sets without going for mad reps! Getting my technique I have to use for a long torso fine tuned until it’s second nature. Keeping my hips within 9-12 inches when I break the ground. Then hit my target of 250 kg over the next few months.
My deadlifts from Friday, the heat was exhausting 🥵
170 - 5
190 - 4
200 - 3
210 - 2
I’ve stopped going for 1 rep max lifts atm, just focusing lighter weight lifts to get my numbers up without cooking my CNS. Does get tiring toward the 2 rep lift tho this way haha.
Because I’ve got a long torso, having to learn my sweat spot from my squatting position style deadlift also has to become second nature, so I can move higher from 230 PB which I’m stuck at.
