Absolutely overwhelmed by the positive feedback from the first post I made here last week πŸ₯ΉπŸ’ͺ🏼 I’ve been a longtime lurker but it’s nice to see what a positive community it is.

Had another go at 200lbs deadlift yesterday & got 4 reps. Also got 105lbs x5 on my bench πŸ’ͺ🏼

Lift Curls

Two clips from yesterdays session.

80kg with some more in the tank in the first clip doing strict curls (upper back & butt against a wall).

Second clip is 90kg for a couple of reps in the cheat curl.

Both sets performed after some heavy rows and pullups, but just a few sets so it probably didnt take much away from top strength.

After three months of progression, encompassing three Bilbo cycles, and having achieved 4 personal records, I am now finalizing the strength adaptation phase. I haven't yet decided if I will get under 245 kg on the bench, but I can confirm that my strength is indeed progressing

I'm 43yo, have been lifting for 3yrs, and I have MS. I posted 300x3 last week but it was brought to my attention that all the plates weren't visible so I deleted it. Anyway, here's me moving on to 305lbs, an ATPR even though it moved at about an RPE of 7.

Wasn't feeling it today at all but I got a new bar, so obviously had to try it out and shoot for the stars. Sometimes I surprise myself on days like that. I've never used a deadlift bar before. Looking at the video I was closer than I thought, so I should have kept going. Will try again in a few months.
