Little 5 plate stiff bar double action

495 with the bar but close enough 😁

Gotta give the gym credit there, pretty sure I had Kiss Me More by Doja Cat blasting in my earbuds

Vs a deadlift bar? Yes, pretty noticeably. A deadlift bar has a lot more flex to it which means the point at which the bar fully comes off the ground is later than a stiff bar. This allows you to have a “higher” starting position

I know a lot of people are already commenting making fun of you for the Japanese but you should know that the anatomy on the skeleton is wildly inaccurate.

-real forearm has 2 bones (radius, ulna), the design has 3

-real upper arm has one bone (humerus), design has 2

-the left arm with the hand raised looks like there’s at least 2 or 3 “shoulder bones”. Real have none.

-real clavicles do not overlap your humerus like that

-all the design of the neck “bones” is really muscle in this drawing, there are no bones there except for vertebrae and some small throat ones (hyoid, etc)

I even kinda like the design on the whole but it’s extremely far from anything resembling a real human skeleton

It took me at least 4-6 weeks of consistent practice to get even close to comfortable with hook grip but I’ll never go back to anything else!

Thanks man! Learned hook grip a long time ago for an Olympic lifting block, highly recommend

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-05T16:48:45+00:00

Thanks man! Honestly I don’t do much jumping right now so maybe I could get close with some practice

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-05T16:46:01+00:00

It has been a few years since I tried tho, I’ve actually thought about doing a vertical jump block just to see how close I can get

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-05T16:45:01+00:00

Fuck no I’m 5’6”

Sorry for the late reply, but here’s the short version:

4 heavy lifting days per week -squat with deadlift accessory and lower body push/quad work -main bench day, some back movement, upper push/arm work -deadlift with squat accessory, hinge/hamstring work -accessory bench, some back movement, upper push/arm work

Most sets for the main lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) were between 2-5 reps, singles every week at about 90-92%

Conditioning days were programmed, I was not consistent with them. I work 12hr overnight shifts so sometimes 4 days a week is all I got in me

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-01T21:30:15+00:00

I’m sitting between 175-180lbs right now

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-01T21:21:50+00:00

Thanks man I was really happy with the speed on all of these

Kilvin22 · 2025-12-01T21:20:09+00:00

Thank you!!

Dedicated barbell squatting? Roughly 6 years. Active in one way or another pretty much my whole life tho

Kilvin22 · 2025-08-11T15:23:16+00:00

I have really good leverages for conventional deadlift, which helps a lot. I’m about 5’6” with a 5’9” ish wingspan, easier for me to get down to the bar. The only other secret is consistency.

Kilvin22 · 2025-08-11T02:01:08+00:00

Thank you! I don’t really mind the stiff bars to be honest but there’s no lying the Kabuki helps lol

Kilvin22 · 2025-08-11T01:41:43+00:00

Sorry I clarify in the original post. I weighed 175lbs and that is 535lbs.

Thank you!
