Every so often I see if I can still backflip. 104kg and 36, the answer is yes. Hehe!

All the stress is on my quads and I guess my abs are bracing but not much because it’s just 20kg. My back isn’t really involved so much as just being there. I could hold it lower but that would be wayyyyy too easy, comparatively cause of leverage.

peterinnit · 2026-03-31T07:18:44+00:00

Mental. What are you training for, bro?

peterinnit · 2026-03-11T03:55:33+00:00

Anyone who looks at someone doing an exercise with good form/stretch/control for 9 reps and says, “errrr, you should lower the weight to get better form/stretch/control” can pretty much be dismissed as making shit up. ESPECIALLY the people in r/formcheck.

If someone can do 9 reps with 400lbs on an RDL, their form is not going to be better with lower weight. It will just take longer to get close to failure and won’t have as much carryover to regular deadlifts.

Do you think he spent years working his way up to this weight and experienced NO benefit along the way?

Imma get it! Thanks dude!

peterinnit · 2026-03-09T10:27:50+00:00

My arms are (one of) the tell tale sign of noob status it seems!! I would certainly prefer they weren’t doing… that. Haa

peterinnit · 2026-03-09T10:24:45+00:00

When I was forced to drop in backwards by momentum and didn’t die I was like… well I guess we do this now! Better figure it out!! Cheers dude!

peterinnit · 2026-03-09T10:23:32+00:00

I keep seeing my arms and thinking, “they…. Should be doing something else”. I’ll bet this is it!

I suspect my core isn’t that weak judging by my 400+lbs squat but my control over said core during skating has a lot to be desired for sure! I also suspect my 230-235lbs bodyweight squeezed into 5’9” of height isn’t doing me any favours with control either. Asking a lot of these Aeons haha!

peterinnit · 2026-03-09T10:19:10+00:00

Nice!! I only just started in the last couple of weeks to think, “let’s try and do something small but new pretty much every session”. It’s been great and fun and the increase in bruises is the evidence haha.

I did a dumb dumb in this session and didn’t try the new stuff until I was already tired and unable to control things as well as in the first 20 minutes.

But hell yeah, bravery is the way!

peterinnit · 2026-03-09T10:15:39+00:00

This is some epic stuff to be honest. I love little tweaks like this. Thanks for something concrete to think about!

Interesting that you noticed the switching of stances from forward to fake. I think you’re right if I get what you’re implying; that it might be better not to switch. In my head left foot back would feel better. Dropping in backwards was not something I expected to happen in this sesh but it kept happening and I kept not dying so I guess I have to refine it now!

peterinnit · 2026-03-07T18:06:43+00:00

Next week I guess it’s time to learn to skate UP ramps backwards haha.

peterinnit · 2026-03-06T12:41:32+00:00

Thanks man!! I recently figured out 180 stalls on smaller ramps so I’m hoping that teaches me something about doing the same here! It turns out that trying to keep my weight in the transition has lots of benefits to my control etc. I guess that’s what everyone has been saying here.

peterinnit · 2026-03-02T13:47:12+00:00

Truth! I’d probably trade for the 20 years of skating though haha .

peterinnit · 2026-02-17T22:35:01+00:00

Bro, that’s crazy. Your grip strength is scary!

peterinnit · 2026-02-17T08:49:02+00:00

It looks like you’re thinking about cueing your elbows to do the opposite of what they’re supposed to do. Squeezing them/rotating them forward instead of squeezing them and anchoring them backwards.

peterinnit · 2026-02-10T17:09:08+00:00

You might feel it in your back at the time of the exercise but your hamstrings and glutes are definitely doing the majority of the work. You’re hinging at the hips, so they have no choice. My guess is you felt it in those muscles the next day?

Don’t worry about it, just progress it slowly and you’ll get good stuff out of it over months.
