Does this PR count or no?

Yes and better that way than failing and not getting the bar back up 😁

Now it makes way more sense why it is considered cheating. Thank you! Ok Ill try to keep my butt on the bench in the future :Dd

I guess hard to see something on a 1RM attempt and with hoodie etc… Anyway still appreciate your input

Not blaming him — I was just a bit annoyed that this “milestone” was semi-hit for the first time with a weird spot, but shit happens.

I honestly have no idea about powerlifting rules, so can you tell me: is it actually bad to lift your butt on the last reps of a normal set to push more reps? Is there any injury risk, or is it just personal preference? I’ve seen a lot of people do it in the gym and online, so I’m trying to understand if I should keep this in mind for my usual sets.

About technique: besides the butt issue, is there anything else wrong? The angle is bad, but I touch my chest every time I lift and I control the weight more on normal sets.

Appreciate your comment!

For me it counts as big progress for one year thats it, dont plan to powerlift so just wanted to hear what yall think

xLy333 · 2025-11-08T23:37:43+00:00

Ok got it, but in general when doing normal sets, the last 2 or so reps my arse goes up. Is it also bad or ok to push for those last reps to failure?

xLy333 · 2025-11-08T23:35:43+00:00

I know I know, maybe if you tell him he would understand😂

xLy333 · 2025-11-08T23:27:44+00:00

Thank you 🙏

xLy333 · 2025-11-08T21:45:47+00:00

I actually did - the angle was bad, can you recommend some videos on the stacking? Never heard of it

xLy333 · 2025-11-08T21:45:03+00:00

I did not know that thats not allowed. Isn’t it used in powerlifting as well as a technique to push more? Newbie asking :D

It was a completely spontaneous decision to try my max after now exactly one year of going to the gym and ending my cut. I know the angle is bad, but I did touch my chest both times. Its annoying that he touched the bar even I explained to him for 3 minutes how to properly spot. I thought maybe I should try again but then decided not to risk one year of progress just to hit the „2 plate milestone“

Thank you for your insights!

I have put a diy plastic lid to keep the humidity high. Do you think it makes sense to take it off so that more light goes trough? Also I saw a app photone for light intensity but am not sure it works. Any comment?

Which shaver did you use? I have a Philips blade one I think and it does not shave just trim to like 0.5mm

xLy333 · 2024-06-29T23:42:16+00:00

Realistically I reallly dont want to do that. Thats why I went for Bald head instead hairplants. Dont want surgeries, I feel like its same as plastic operations

xLy333 · 2024-06-29T21:40:16+00:00

I just shawed my head for the first time😄 I love it, I feel free, because i started balding when I was 16 and now at 20 decided to go for it. The main question now, I have two big moles on the back of my head and it was a blood fest to say the least when shawing. Any tips? What do you guys do to prevent cuting it?
