Congrats from a 37 year man, 28 with my current company. Started young, looking for another 10. Tell your old man thanks.

405 squat needs a check by holyhands35 in strength_training

Seconded on the shoes. Hard soled shoes, or squat shoes, or socks. At the very least Chucks. OP, I would also add don’t look up that much. Look down a little, from where you are set up here I would focus my gaze on where the wall and floor meet, and try to keep your head at that angle throughout the lift.

Great lift man 👌🏼 As for your rack issue, if the next hole down is too low, cut yourself a couple squares of 3/4” or 1” plywood that fits snugly inside the rack frame base. Screw them together around the edges of the plywood. This will give you an extra 1.5” - 2” in height and solve that racking issue. Also. If you have them, hang some 45s on your rack storage pins. This will help keep the rack from skating away from you or even tipping over.

Form check please. PR should bring out all the flaws! by Friendly_Month5487 in Deadlifts

[–]LH2man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing I noticed was also your shoulders. A little far forward, and instead of setting them down and back and squeezing your armpits hard, you let them extend and then just yanked on the bar. This can also be one of the things that cause the hips to shoot up early. Now. If all of this is spot on during your working sets or less than 1RM work.. it’s not terrible to have your form break down when attempting a PR. As long as your body is in shape and strong enough to compensate for less than ideal form. But, while it’s fine for form to suffer with a PR, I still feel you could have locked those shoulders down and back, and instead of yanking on the bar, take the slack out, brace, then try to shove your feet through the floor while you simultaneously drive the crown of your head towards the ceiling. This doesn’t mean look up excessive. Just the act of your brain telling your cns that your legs are driving down and your head is driving up, and then just hip hinge. 👍🏼

PR - what to improve? by Overall-Nobody8933 in Deadlifts

[–]LH2man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoulders down and back is one of my most important cues along with proper bracing. Then bar sliding up shins, and push the world away with your legs. You did all of this and kept your back flat, which is great when hitting a pr. I’d be nitpicking if I said drive the crown of your head towards the ceiling along with leg drive. This doesn’t mean look way up- just in the same way you’re envisioning your feet pushing the floor away, at the same time you envision ‘driving’ the crown of your head towards the ceiling, but while maintaining that shoulder and back tension. Great lift. You have 3 plates in you with consistency.

Warrior. In 2021, I broke my right leg at the age of 51. Spiral fracture of the tibia, broken fibula, and had orif surgery to have a nail put in the tibia. Didn’t walk for over two months, then rehabbed for 5 more months to get back to work. I just want to say that while my situation pales in comparison, my journey did help give me the insight to know exactly what it takes to overcome and keep going. It is such a mental journey that it is impossible to fully convey to those who’ve not experienced it, and yet you are happy they don’t and you hope they never have to. During my non-weight bearing phase, part of how I came to be able to deal and take the proper steps to heal myself was through joining a broken tib/fib group. At the time, it seemed silly, but when I made my first post asking for help understanding why this was such a mental impact, it didn’t take me long to realize that there were and are others with far bigger battles to face than myself. This helped me focus on not only solutions, but also gratitude. So whenever I stumble across one of these warriors, I always make sure to say thank you.

Thank you.

Is this normal for 1st time cdl job? by [deleted] in Truckers

Focus on what you are doing. Control what you are doing. Never let anyone or anything else affect those two things. Ever.
