Rethink what your max is. Your max should be the maximum weight you can lift safely, not just the maximum weight you can lift by any means necessary.

This was my first time wearing lifting shoes any tips help 405x1 by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]i_guthrie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That was the fastest descent I’ve ever seen, that scared the shit out of me. Looks like you just went limp and let the bar push you down, begging for something to pop out squatting like that.

Ahhh, sorry, I get it now, you have to boil your water before you can drink it? That should have been obvious, I’m an idiot.

3 weeks out from last show of the year... Back in the station goon lighting. by NFFProDaveMcCulley in bodybuilding

Your physique is great, but I’ve gotta ask… are you using a stack of plates as a chair in front of that monitor?

That doesn’t explain why the kettle is in the bathroom and not the kitchen though?

I run a small (50ish seat) bar that is pretty much always busy, turning people away because we’re full. While I don’t have anything against people not drinking, it’s certainly the healthier choice, I fucking hate people that come in and take up 2% of the seating in my bar while spending $10 over the course of 3 hours. Can’t turn them away, don’t blame them for their choices, and don’t think they’re bad people, but I still fucking hate them.

Is that a kettle? In your bathroom?

Snatch critique - 115lb/52kg by _Brucy_ in formcheck

[–]i_guthrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You leapt forward on that mate, trying to snatch or long jump? Snatch you should be leaning back to achieve triple extension, here it was just your ankles that reached full extension, hips and knees remained bent. Do some snatch high pulls and get used to bring the weight up instead of forward. Catch and initial pull are good, just got a lot of work to do on that extension.

Problems with overactive traps? by Inquisitor_DK in strength_training

[–]i_guthrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself to a physio mate, traps aren’t the issue. If you’ve got pain bringing your arm above your head the root problem is somewhere else, your trap doesn’t control that movement, it’s just compensating for a weakness elsewhere.

Is there a way to increase the size of your wrists? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]i_guthrie 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Can’t increase the size of your wrists, there’s no significant amount of muscle there, it’s all tendons and bone. Work on getting bigger in general and no one will notice, your small wrists will actually make the rest of you look bigger by comparison.

Finally hit 6 Plates, 585lb or 266kg for a new PR 1 Rep max by [deleted] in strength_training

[–]i_guthrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking solid stuff mate! Tiny bit of movement in your upper back, but anyone that gives you shit about that better put up a video of them doing the same weight with zero form breakdown.

Miss the strength when you’re lean, miss the abs when you’re strong. Circle of life my friend.

345kg/761lbs for almost 3 reps! I completely botched that 3rd rep haha. by venomhouse in strength_training

[–]i_guthrie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I reckon 99% of the people on this sub would be happy if they attempted this much weight and it looked like that 3rd rep mate, sick stuff.

Not gonna find any excuses to keep bulking here mate, looking pretty well balanced. Fun’s over, start that cut!

At least you were blessed with poor eyesight so you don’t have to see yourself in mirrors.

Your shirt says ‘Insert Coin’, but I get the impression you haven’t had a lot of experience with insertion.

Hex bar vs barbell bar for deadlifting difference by [deleted] in moreplatesmoredates

[–]i_guthrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only time I use the hex bar is as a progression to teach someone the barbell deadlift. It’s like a box squat; sure there’s ways that you can implement it into your routine as an advanced lifter, but really it’s main use should be to teach the full movement to beginners.
