So i do heavy deadlifts every week adding weight trying to keep the 5 rep range. I usually can always make the 5 rep range but sometimes i have to set the weight down, take a small rest and reset to...

Yeah, when the weight started to get heavy, i would focus on driving through the heels as hard as i could, and shoving the bar into my shins, but as the weight started to come off the ground, the bar...

So i deadlifted today for the first time in about 2 months and it went pretty decent, i decided to max out and just see what i could do. I was just doing triplets, doubles, and then singles and...

Not gonna lie my cardio is currently absolute **** which is probably why i get out of breath after lifting, i used to be able to run long distances, but now i'm lucky if i ain't gassed by a half...

Yes, but anxiety and depression manifest themselves into real physical health problems that could kill me later on in life. Being overly stressed, tired, and anxious will most certainly kill me...

There's a lot of stigma attached to all of my problems, my whole life i've been told to just "man up" and just get over it, i'm now starting to believe it's a legitimate problem that's effected me...

I'm on a very light dose (0.5mg) of ****** and i take probably about once a week or less but when my panic attacks are bad i take 2 or 3..

The sleeping pills he gave me is called trazodone which...

I said something like that to my doc, he's a real sharp guy, he told me my sleep problems have nothing to do with how much i do during the day, it doesn't matter how much i do, my anxiety and...

Don't mistake my vulnerability for ignorance. I'm well aware of all the things that could happen, i'm just saying i'm in such a **** state currently i'm willing to try anything.

Basically, my anxiety and stress has been off the charts lately, it has gotten so bad that i can't even workout. I have had anxiety for a few years and lifting weights has helped me tremendously in...

that's the way to do it.

I'll update the thread next time i bench if anyone's still interested I'll tuck the elbows, keep shoulders back, and narrow my grip a tad.

I'm normally out of breath after bench too, but this...

When i watch myself do it, it looks like snap city. When i do it, it just feels right.

Will try to stop that though.

Don't ask why, don't make excuses. Try to figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it. If you want it bad enough, you'll do what it takes to figure out how you can make more gains.

Yup, i totally see what you're saying. i'll work on sliding it off the rack

Alrighty Lol. To be honest i probably coulda hit 8 or 9 at this weight but the form would have gotten so much uglier. I actually put my middle finger on the ring when benching but i'll give the pinky...

Noted. I'll try to pull my feet in a bit more. It might be worth mentioning that i have really wide set hips so i naturally have a wide stance for almost everything. I do have an arch going on but...

I'm a big advocate of ass to grass and squatting as deep as possible. You get a nice stretch as the bottom that helps you complete the rep. It also makes the hardest part of the lift directly in the...

My bench developed weird due to benching on unlevel ground (in my backyard). I switched the the garage and lightened the weight up and focused on keeping the bar even. I did 185 lbs 5x5 even though i...

What about when i start getting stronger? Do i just use common sense and scale up my warm ups, or will 135x5 225x5 last me a long time?
