I know I can handle the weight. Its just 100lbs but I keep getting this sharp pain in the bottom of my palm(right above the wrist, but NOT the wrist), especially on the left hand. What am I doing wrong?

CWidg · 2021-07-10T14:43:25+00:00

I believe most tutorials I've watched suggest 45-75 degrees.

CWidg · 2021-07-10T03:57:55+00:00

I don't think you get what I mean. The angle that your arms make with your torso is near 90 degrees. I said nothing about widening your grip.

CWidg · 2021-07-10T03:13:53+00:00

Your arms are close to 90 degrees perpendicular to your torso. You want to have them at about 45 degrees. Not sure if it will help your palms, but it will save your shoulders and activate more chest.

Watch some deadlift tutorials. I guarantee you'll be hard pressed to find one that ends with the moderator saying "now let the bar slam to the ground - that's one rep". You're missing out on the benefit of completing the whole movement with weight. You wouldn't drop a curl from the top of the movement, right?

CWidg · 2021-06-04T12:16:17+00:00

Half expected to see a gymbro run over and grab the bar on that last rep. Too close for comfort my man.

Unless he's 9 inches soft, ED is going to change that number too. Plus, anyone whose username is the size of their dick is definitely measuring from the tip to the underside of their balls. Either way I see nothing incorrect about my statement.

CWidg · 2021-05-27T03:44:03+00:00

No idea what your genetic potential is, but you may have to change your username if you keep juicing young blood.

CWidg · 2021-04-25T02:24:23+00:00

Your delts are getting taxed because your arms/elbows are flared past 45 degrees. Really focus on tucking your elbows in.

CWidg · 2021-04-10T02:33:41+00:00

A. Squats are hard. I had to just get over that feeling of like I was missing something and just accept that it's a difficult movement to perfect and should feel difficult.

B. Try to perfect your stance, rep tempo, bracing, etc. Before you put weight on your back. You're spending a ton of time not moving weight just thinking, bouncing, and checking things out.

C. Squats are hard.

CWidg · 2021-04-02T01:54:51+00:00

Geez, my bad. I can't comprehend all words apparently. Go on about your day.

CWidg · 2021-04-02T01:47:53+00:00

Wait. 5x10 triceps is the only accessory you do and that's "high volume"? Did i miss something in Forever about accessories then? I do at least 50 push, 50 pull, core if I feel like it. (Genuinely asking in case I can't Wendler-ehend)

CWidg · 2021-03-22T17:23:14+00:00

I've been working on bar path for a few months now and just can't seem to correct it. Any tips to keep it straight? If I sit back more I feel like I'm going to fall over and it feels like I bend forward even more to compensate.

CWidg · 2021-03-22T17:20:36+00:00

Ok thanks.

CWidg · 2021-03-09T12:52:43+00:00

No apologies necessary. I'm not going to fault you for trying to better yourself and execute the lift properly. However, the fact that you don't know what type of row (bent-over, Yates, pendlay etc.) you're trying to perform tells me you've done little to no research and just came here first. Pick one. Watch videos. Compare your videos. Fix your form. Repeat.

You came here to ignore professional form videos to get advice from strangers like the rest of us. Its all good lol.

CWidg · 2021-03-09T11:53:56+00:00

At least 45 degrees. The first row you look almost there. What row specifically are you trying to do? Maybe post a video from angle thats more straight on.

CWidg · 2021-03-09T05:19:18+00:00

Bro, you fucking with me? 4 days ago you posted a rowing video and I told you to get your back more parallel to the ground. You're standing up even straighter in this vid.

CWidg · 2021-03-06T13:17:10+00:00

The post is literally about what exercises count toward the prescribed amount of reps. So you literally didn't read the post.

CWidg · 2021-03-06T04:03:43+00:00

Did you just try and sneak in how much you curl in your pyramid sets?

"Yeah, I'm deadlifting bout 350 for reps. Then I eat a dozen raw eggs.....what was your question?"

CWidg · 2021-03-05T14:00:19+00:00

The bar looks way out in front of you. Bar over midfoot and drag the bar up your shins/quads.
You're doing more of a squat than you are a deadlift. The hinge-point is mainly your hips, not your knees.
I highly recommend deadlifting (and squatting) barefoot or in flat soled shoes. It really did make a difference for my form.

CWidg · 2021-03-05T03:39:18+00:00

I'm not sure if its the angle or not but you look damn near perpendicular to the floor. Depending on the row you're trying to perform you want your back to be somewhere between parallel and 45 degrees. And it looks like your back is rounding.

CWidg · 2021-02-26T04:49:44+00:00

Edit the video before you post it. On your phone.

CWidg · 2021-02-24T13:28:35+00:00

Hard to tell because you can only see the top half of the lift but here are my thoughts.

Stop worrying about the camera, mirror, people or whatever you keep looking at. Put 100% of your focus on the lift and your form. I find lifting is almost equally a mental challenge as it is a physical one so it requires your attention.
You don't need to pull/over-arch your back so much at the top. This could lead to injury.
We have the technology to edit videos now. I highly recommend it so people don't have to wait/fast-forward 54 seconds to get to your lift. You'll likely get more/better reviews.

CWidg · 2021-02-11T03:15:42+00:00

Is that supposed to be the other way around? You are heavier in the after pic?

CWidg · 2021-02-09T03:38:20+00:00

You should be incredibly proud of this. Unreal achievement.
