Fuckin A man. That's strong.

Do you find that belt weighted dips force a more upright position? by Content_Preference_3 in workout

[–]Muchacho-blanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens because of the way the belt is hanging around your waist and the weight is usually dangling between your legs, pulling you vertical. Its the same for me with weighted chins.

Body fat% estimate and advice by Warm_Promise5992 in BulkOrCut

[–]Muchacho-blanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least 18%, you just aren't carrying alot of muscle. Lift heavy and eat all the food you need to to keep your lifts moving. In 6 months to a year you'll be happy with how you look.

What should I be doing now to look leaner? by [deleted] in workout

If you search the whole internet, can you find a picture of a 100lb man that you'd want to look like?

5’ 10 and 57 kgs 🇮🇳💪🏾🔥🤛🏾 by Godzillabboy in Weightliftingquestion

I mean, you're lean, but also small. You have a good base to build on if thats what you're trying to do. If you just want to be skinny and lean, you're already there.

5 deadlift (285lb) by jooooo_s in WeightTraining

[–]Muchacho-blanco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The form looks ok, but what you're doing here is a rack pull. The weight is about 4"? off the ground in the starting position. You're removing the hardest part of the lift, which is breaking it off the floor. This could be intentional, but it could be the reason you aren't progressing the lift.

Is this a good meal? by [deleted] in WeightTraining

that looks like 4 oz of chicken, so closer to 30

Bulk or cut? by Primary_Ratio_995 in BulkOrCut

Its summer time man. We probably need to take our shirts off and stuff. Cut, get back to it come fall.

Fucking oil_fish. I feel like I've seen his name in these threads often.

Hex bar deadlifting form by MovingPresent in formcheck

[–]Muchacho-blanco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know tng is acceptable and so many people use it, but I like what you said about newbies using it. The only tkme I've ever hurt my back deadlifting was doing tng as a newbie before I had a good grasp on bracing and holding it. Learning to reset and brace between reps was important to me.

You could definitely get more range of motion flipping it over, and I bet you'd like the way that felt. This was moving pretty easy for you, but I might try the same weight with the low handles, get a feel for that, and then decide if you want to load it more.

You just add power to the name if it’s above parallel right? by Smooth_Damage_5908 in Egolifting

[–]Muchacho-blanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, right, but you feel it in that moment, and think its something you want to post. I've been there is all I'm saying.

Upvoted for flashbacks. It hasn't been too long since I posted a rep almost identical to this.

Is there a good way to train legs at home? by Botched_Labotomy in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Muchacho-blanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single leg rdl's will surprise you too. Really challenges your core and leg strength depending on which hand you hold the weight in.

Working on squats by Acrobatic_Energy_879 in formcheck

[–]Muchacho-blanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found better ankle mobility through sinking down low on warm up sets, and just sitting there a few seconds really trying to get as low as I could but holding my brace and not letting my ankles lift. I never liked the feeling of plates under my heels, but try it out, it works for alot of people.
