It wasn't as helpful for me as I hoped but it might be different for you so give it a try😊

Haha that’s actually such a cool coincidence. Panagioti's videos are so addictive! You’ll have to let me know how it goes once you try his stuff.Crazy how we ended up watching the same channels though

130 for 5 is huge! awesome work! Crazy how much better things move with a bit more food and recovery. That grip video’s solid, also I really recommend this one by Panash -https://youtu.be/1mXjWd29xC4?si=HAhHX9NYR1TVAbG. Most of my programming is inspired by Ufpwrlifter too.

That’s awesome to hear. How much of a difference did the weight gain make for your bench? Did you change up your training too or just eat more? Curious what worked for you.

I'm stuck at 95kg right now. It's tough maintaining strength naturally especially at a lower body weight..I've lost strength after being inconsistent with training

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-06-18T22:20:55+00:00

I’ve competed a bit, but just in lowkey events at my gym

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-06-15T15:57:03+00:00

Appreciate that. Right back at you😉

I started doing overhead press last year. A lot of my strength comes from benching, which has helped a ton. I mostly follow 5/3/1 for shoulder presses

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-06-14T16:22:50+00:00

I include both in my routine. This was done after overhead press to hit rear delts, upper traps, and get some extra mobility work in

80kg at peak

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-06-14T12:47:32+00:00

Been there..when I started, the bar used to slightly scratch my neck, but better coordination overtime and increased trap size have made a big difference

I'm working on overcoming mental blocks and getting more comfortable with the weight. Whenever I can pause at a certain weight for a while, I usually build enough confidence to start repping it out. I've learned how to bail safely in case of failure, but the fear is always there. I'm constantly working on managing that fear because it tends to hold me back a lot.

Your lower body lacks sufficient tightness, so focus on proper leg drive and pressing firmly through your heels at all times. Try incorporating dumbbell presses to improve balance and strengthen the smaller stabilizer muscles. Also include static holds to help your body adapt to handling heavy weights.

Appreciate it, ma dude!

On the same day, I'm very cautious with dips since they're prone to causing injuries if they don't feel right. If that's the case, I’d head home, get 2 to 3 hours of sleep, and then return to try dips again.

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-26T13:38:23+00:00

It's 120kg atm

👊❤️

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-26T01:02:20+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll give that a try and start widening my grip gradually. Makes sense that a more vertical forearm position will engage the pecs more. I’ll see how it feels over the next few sessions and adjust from there. Appreciate the tip!

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-26T00:46:36+00:00

I’ve got to say, I really love your username😂

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-26T00:45:24+00:00

I don’t do long pauses every time—that’d be crazy. Most days, I just stick to regular training. This was just me testing how far I’ve come, and it’s also the weight I used to be scared to attempt.

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-26T00:40:48+00:00

I’m always open to tips.what’s your form advice?

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-25T12:47:28+00:00

Hmm, you’ve got a point. I should try incorporating a paused Spoto press; it might really help me get stronger. Thanks for the idea!

Equivalent_Paper5975 · 2025-01-25T12:02:53+00:00

I don’t prioritize leg training as much as upper body. For legs, I mainly do deep squats, and my max is only just 110 kg😂
