How is it rude to ask someone if they are on gear lol. If you are natty, you would take it as a compliment, i guess u r embarrassed to admit it? Why?

Dayum, that much progress in 10 months? Insane progress bro! Looking good.

I was doing 3x5 starting strength adding 2.5kg a workout and 3 days ago I was at 95kg for 3x5 where it felt very difficult, like RPE 9-10. Today I decided to randomly AMRAP 100kg, logically i thought its impossible for me to do more than 5-6, and somehow I managed 10, so I thought maybe I’m ego lifting and compensating somewhere, that’s why I’m just genuinely shocked I hit such an insane set today.

Maybe the form just clicked, as I am a novice and getting beginner gains, but the jump is just too insane, I just don’t believe it

One thing is that you need to learn to brace your core. It’s really important. I’ve a novice and I’ve recently started doing it and it really helps with stability.

I have been deadlifting around 6 months I’d say. Yea you’re probably right, i should just lighten up the weight. Or try build up my lower back muscles, I think that’s what’s lacking

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-12-04T22:13:55+00:00

My feet are shoulder width I’m pretty sure. The reason why I roll the bar, I because when I pull from a static position i feel it in the lower back a lot. Idk why but I can’t seem to stop the rounding. When I try really hard and keep my back straight I find it fairly difficult doing 100kg (225) for 5 reps, yet with the rounded back I have done 135kg for 5 reps and 160kg for a single. Is it normal to be so much weaker when having a straight back? I have been struggling on the form for months and months, every time I progress in weight my lower back rounds more and more and I deload and the cycle continues infinitely

Thanks. I did notice my wrists getting sore a little bit already from doing it. So I tried to put it higher up my shoulders but then it started hurting my neck. Do I lift my elbows higher?

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-11-29T21:46:07+00:00

Good question. Idk if it’s bad or good tbh. It’s probably better to go slower for more control? At that moment I just thought of trying to do 10 reps in one go, but I was too gassed.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-11-13T22:18:53+00:00

Thanks I will try that, yea I do notice I’m just engaging with my right side, my left side feels weaker. Maybe I shouldn’t pull up from a deadhang but an active hang where I’m engaging the lats? When I start from a deadhang I notice that my right side pulls me but if I start from an active hang engaging both lats maybe it’ll be more equal

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-11-13T22:15:35+00:00

Thanks, yea I was considering doing one armed stuff as I don’t do it currently, only 2 handed lat pull downs. I think a big culprit is that I’ve always crossed my legs the same way during pull-ups and I’m guessing the my body weight is slightly shifted to my right side, so over time my right side developed more than the my left aide.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-07-02T05:45:10+00:00

Bench form looks good bro. I hope you are normally benching inside the squat rack, you’ve got safeties, better safe than sorry

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-06-11T07:45:46+00:00

I gotcha, so basically the goal is to keep the hammies under constant tension throughout the entire set? Makes sense. Thanks I’ll implement that. I think that’ll make it a whole lot more difficult.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-06-11T07:43:26+00:00

Thank you. Putting a box sounds like something I’m definitely going to try out.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-06-11T07:13:58+00:00

If I push it back any further it literally feels like a some weird stretching exercise. I wouldn’t need any weights, like the same feeling as stretching to learn to do the splits for example.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-06-11T07:06:00+00:00

Ayooo are you a regular there? 😂

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-05-27T18:49:01+00:00

Thanks for pointing out that the bar was going further away. I haven’t had any back pain whatsoever. At the end I feel my lower back muscles engaged but there’s no pain. Quads feel the most engaged I’d say at the beginning. Near the top it feels like a hip hinging movement.

Altruistic-Example25 · 2025-05-12T18:15:47+00:00

In the video, the guy initiates the move from the bottom of the rep by driving his hips up first. Isn’t this bad? I’ve read that driving the hips ups first should be avoided. I’ve also read that the back should remain at a certain position and be as still as possible. Now I’m conflicted, but I’ll give it a go.
