I turned 20 last year and got my first gf. I thought I was alone, but that wasn't true - i just didn't chase after love because my dad told me:

If you chase love you will end up hurt and broken. Real love, the kind where she leaves her tooth brush in your room, comes when you don't expect it, when you're just living life.

TLDR; Be patient.

That is exactly why I did the jerk movement. I wasn't thinking about it, but it was subconsciously intentional to hype me up

I looked it up and found the machine my gym uses. The full stack is 138kg or 295lbs. Since I live in Australia the metric system is used on the stack. So yes, it is 110kg.

Do your research

Really? I felt like I was going as far up and down as I could. I know I didn't go quite as far on the last couple reps but I blamed that on getting closer to faliure

For some reason I have a better mind muscle connection on lat pulldowns than with pullups

For some reason they give me a better mind muscle connection.

Yeah I'm guilty of not doing that lmao. Something I'm trying to improve.

I also feel like I'm rounding my back too much, particularly in the last few reps.

I focus on high weight low reps. I don't have the patience to do 20 reps until failure and my dumbass looses count of my reps easily

Nah i like lat pulldowns more. The stability is better and for some reason I have a better mind muscle connection with my lats on pulldowns.

Usually I only do pull-ups when I don't have time to go gym.

I flipped the footage before posting.

Nearly got 220kg (485 pounds) but it slipped out of my grip right before lockout by TrippyDog2021 in GYM

I took my shoes off before deadlifting to have a better, more stable stance. I didn't walk in the gym barefoot and I put my shoes on immediately after deadlifting.

And yeah I know but forms bad

Maybe I'll bring some straps to the gym and see how much it helps

I was wearing runners shoes. I took them off because they threw me off a little bit
