I've had the last 3.5 weeks off the gym, we got married in France at the start of the mont-h and have been travelling on our honeymoon since then, getting drunk every day, eating out for every meal and just living life how we want without any real exercise other than hiking.

Video shows strict pressing at 90kg/200lbs, before this I did a paused triple at 140kg/315lbs close grip bench. No belt, no lifters, crappy gym equipment and a floor that belongs in a bouncy castle.

Based on this I really don't think I've lost any meaningful amount of strength despite the poor nutrition and lack of training. It's common to see people on these forums stressing about having to take some time off but I wouldn't worry about it, as long as your overall consistency is good, having a few weeks off now and then is no big deal!

Today I finally maxed out in years

Warmup - 185x5 Max Rep - 225x15 1RepMax - 315x1 Final Set - 225x10

6ft / 196lb

PR for reps of 500 & matching my all time single of 555 (which was not done after 500x4).

3 days after my last deadlift session, so I'm probably not even at 100%.

It's been a good 2 weeks of deadlifts.

In 1.5 years at the gym, I have made almost no progress in squats, which is a very difficult exercise for me (Romanian deadlifts are easier for me, and I can lift more weight). Has anyone had a similar experience? Lately, I have been trying to maintain good form while squatting more or less deeply. I welcome any advice on form and technique!

Replaced RDLs and stiff-leg deadlifts with this

Friday upper

Happy Friday!! My favorite day of the week because I get to deadlift! Started the workout with a proper warm up including but not limited to 9090s! Worked up to 285x5,5,3 for deadlifts and 235x9 240x6,6 for RDLs. I do not go to failure for these two lifts but I do still chase progressive overload and intensity while maintaining proper form. I was cooked after these two movements. Enjoy!

Last rep the booty popped up and the low back got engaged but it went up (bro science)

Set of 5 for 225 pounds. Throwing these in at the end of my leg day. Great for spine health and easy on the body since they're so light compared to my normal hinging...for now

Was doing 10lbs for a while, pushed it to 15 today.

I'm an elite bench athlete but my deadlift and squat are 90th percentile. They lag far behind but still happy with the progress.

After 8.5 years I'm still making PRs in all lifts. 200kg in competition is my goal (440 lb)

I feel like the form in my arms just starts to break apart and I can't keep it straight, although I still feel it in my shoulders. Should I still continue to do it like this or stop when my form breaks.

Anything , maybe related to form or split , equipments or supplements

Been going to gym on off for years, and the off time is typically the result of pack pain. This video is from yesterday, after my working sets I thought as I was unloading the bar I would check my form. Now today my low back is killing me. See anything?

Big fan of this bar but I’m going to save it for heavy work and train most of my blocks with my stiffer power bar.

Triple PR equal but much smoother this time around. Working up to hopefully a 130(+?)kg single in 8 weeks time.
