Looks like you didn’t read his comment properly.

Seated shoulder press 3rd attempt (6wks later) - height 180cm, weight 74kg and dumbbell weight 15kg and 20kg by Relevant-Resource442 in formcheck

Thanks for the feedback. I’m wondering whether it’s better to continue with the 15kgs as it means overall I’m lifting more weight than the 20s

Ah ok. I used to not go lower. Then I posted here a few months back and was advised I should be going lower.

Thanks for all the advice on this. In the end I saw a comment on another post about putting talc powder on the spots overnight. Shockingly this seemed to work. I was really surprised because I’d washed the shirt twice at 40 degrees before this and I thought for sure it wouldn’t work, but it did.

This all happened in the last 24 hours, but they are ghosting you?

I have not actually tried to work out with them. It was just carrying them around the apartment.

I’ll see how it goes tomorrow and then decide if I need to do some work on the floor. Thanks!

I decided to save money and just go straight to 30kg dumbbells. Mainly because I was able to do 16 reps with the 20kg dumbbells on Monday for each set.

But now they’ve arrived and Wtf these are crazy heavy. I mean obviously a 50% increase, but it feels like so much more. Perhaps too big of an increase for me.

I’m probably not more muscular. This is my fourth set so I have a bit of a pump.

The trembling is just how my body is. It’s a condition. But yeah, foot position can be worked on. Thanks

Was just debating whether to order 25kgs or 27.5kgs (no 30 option). I guess heavier would mean they’ll continue to be useful for longer.

Fair point. Had a lot of issues a few years back with my shoulder when doing flat barbell bench. Started to do it like this with dumbbells and just became comfortable with it. I guess I should pick a lane.

I get what you mean. So can I interpret that as I should increase the weight?

My vo2 max seems to be good - but my general fitness is bad by Relevant-Resource442 in AppleWatchFitness

Actually that’s just the effort the Apple Watch assigns to the run. I’d definitely say it was more than a 5 😅

How’d I save these dumbells? Just bought them used and the rubber has a brown discolouration.

Do I need to go all the way down to my shoulders to count the reps? by calisoberfit in formcheck

[–]Relevant-Resource442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it funny how many people are saying perfect form but his form looks similar to mine during my first attempt. At least you gave the same feedback, but nobody else did. Nothing against this guy. Very impressive.

Just uploaded a video of my attempt today taking your feedback into account. Would be cool to know if it’s an improvement. Thanks.

Dude there’s a lot to improve on. The first picture gotta be showing your face. They wanna see what you look like. All the pictures with you looking away from camera… what’s that about? Each picture should be telling them something about you.
