Random health and exercise thoughts

Sorry Toasty but I really don't believe you can pull 315 with acceptable form.

I managed to get 275 for 5 sumo DL today, which is 10 pounds up from last week. Back was all rounded though when I looked at the video of it, so I will deload and work my way back up again while maintaining a slight arch in the back. I'd rather have te weights go up slowly and safe than fast and end up injured.

315 is not a big deadlift, seems pretty reasonable for most beginners to get there within a few months.

Yeah but he benches and squats like half that.

Am I the only one here who just goes in and lifts instead of following a written routine? :-/

I dont write my **** down but I have a planned routine

Consistency is important

Im switching to a Gold's Gym. Costs about 40% of what my current gym has with like 3x the equipment, including the HS row machines I missed so much. $16 a month!!!

Was looking for that OHP vid and saw this post again. I think this was overlooked, but those are solid numbers for 1RM IMO. You must be ripped. Our height and weight is about the same, which is why I find this commendable.
FWIW I have never tried 1RM, but my DL was close only ~315. I am curious what your for rep numbers are.

Thanks toasty but I'm not that ripped I would say I'm about 15% body fat range and currently trying to get to about 140. Then I should look pretty cut.

When I posted, I repped 315x5. I just did 335x3 yesterday so my 1RM should be a bit higher.

Yeah, I've been lifting on and off for awhile now but never done a deadlift until about 6-7 weeks ago. I got to 315 in less than a month i think.

i have the main lifts set for the week, but for the assistance work i just do whatever i feel like :foo:

Not sure why you put a question mark after "manlet."

You, my friend, might be the new Team Manlet Mascot.

Heading to the gym in half an hour. Do you want to see 405x1 or 315x5?
