1 Year to leave "Do I even lift?" Status.

[BabyOilBrah]

Lol those are so gross, srs think I've puked every time I had one. This weekend I'm staying in to do a paper I keep putting off and send out resumes (hoping to get a job before getting my license but that's probably unrealistic) so I figured I'd just have fun yesterday.
Brb ate 700 calories total before going out at 5 pm, rought estimate was 4, 000 calories of alcohol and some food in the end. Feels like I'll be hitting a PR tomorrow mang

strong pic upload on IG too lol

This is just 225 on the bar for dead lifts , it feels really light but I know my form is bad. Just looking for a form check.

[eltwentyone]

checking form on 225 is like checking your bench form with the bar fukk off

99% sure your best ever 1RM was 275....

Nah man 225 is like a 10 rep max right now. Haven't been dead lifting for so long and I'm still really nervous for my shoulder.

[BabyOilBrah]

form looks fine bro, but form breakdowns shouldn't happen under 90% of 1RM

I haven't been dead lifting for so long now. I saw my squats today to... way to high. I think it's a mental fear about hurting my hip. So these two lifts are my project for this bulk

Big push day workload for a dude with a funny shoulder, props. Might get back to dipping myself.

Yeah, your bench strength is still kinda in the ****ter - think you'll keep hitting lower reps and chase bigger poundage? Or embrace the light weight and do some bbing rep ranges to start the bulk off?

Good question. I think I want to stay 6-10 reps to keep myself in a relatively safe range for my shoulder.
Also, my chest grows to easily as it is so I don't want to do hypertrophy range on it. Srs.
Inb4 I turn into you and stop working out my chest so that my delts look better.

[BabyOilBrah]

In on big chest crew. I do minimal work on benching now because my chest is the most genetically gifted portion of my body in terms of muscle growth. I do minimal work on all bodyparts not though lol.

Also please to be included on your reps for life sig crew.

Well you made it like 3 cuts ago...
I do like benching heavy, and if I can every fix my squat depth and dead lift form I'd like to do a PL meet some day. So I guess it's back to 1-3 rep range for me lol

nice work regardless of squats feeling like chit. Definitely get a vid up when you can, I'll try to critique. If you do it please go heavier and just do like doubles or triples with around 85-90%.

Alright. For squatting I'm guessing a true 1RM for me at this point would be like 245 lol, so I'll do a set of 225 and post. No clue what my dead lift is now because that shoulder injury almost scared me away from dead lifting ever again but I'll put something a bit heavier on the bar for a quick vid this weekend.

Seeing my dead lifts I can see my form is real bad. Looking for suggestions. My one friend said not to get my butt as low as I do because it looks like my back ground at the beginning because of that?

[sonnydfrizzy]

Fuaaaaa mate haven't even lurked ITT for a while but you been killin it.
Well done man.

Whats the current goals and all that chit?

Well honestly I guess my goal is to recomp. I finished the cut at 152 lbs and 1500 cals/day, now I'm averaging 2200ish/day and weighin 154 lbs for 2 weeks in a row. I'd like to stay 154-156 lbs but get my calories closer to a 2600 maintenance and get my strength back (and fix my form obviously). Moderately long term goal is to stay this weight but get leaner, I know BoB has experience in recomping so I should probably message him lol.

Welcome back

ur hips setup in the 2nd vid is okay but rised too early. this caused you to use too much of the lower back during lockout. generally knees angle and hips angle open up simultaneously during deadlift. in your case u already locked out ur knees before u locked out the hips.

I don't know who you are, but your welcome in this thread.
I sent this vid to someone else to check form and that was his general idea to.
