Proof that the Nutmisc Lifts! (kinda)

[themonkay]

...

Good luck with the lifts today.

Its a fair comment on my chin ups. Usually if I'm just doing body weight i will go nearly as high as the video, but when I have weight between my feet, it feels much more awkward to do so. I agree that I'm probably cutting ROM at the top more than I should.
No need to justify calling it out to me man, I know you know your shizz

Deadlifts from today... added another 5lbs to my sumos and I'm now at 380 x 5... Hovering ~165-168lbs BW. Pretty mediocre, but I'm hoping things will continue to improve.

345 triple

380 x 5 (+ 5lb PR)

^ nice lift. Some upper back rounding but admittedly I'm no expert on the 'acceptable vs. too much'... it seemed alright though.


lmao at holding that last rep, looking over to the camera, then dropping it. It's still filming, we still watchin, don't worry bby <3

[ErikTheElectric]

Mirin depth and how easy you made 255 look. Any reason you went back to chucks?

Mirin the calf mobility

[ErikTheElectric]

Paused Bench from today... felt strangely strong this week for some reason. 170 x 5 last week felt like a truck.. 175 seemed WAY lighter this week.
Honestly could've gone for 180.. but didn't want to chance it.

Paused Bench new 5RM (175 lbs)(derped on 4th rep lol)

Outsquatted like a boss by a girl crew.
At least I can bench more crew



Nice nice squats there lass. I did squats today and failed 5th rep of 225, rough day for me. Dropped weight and tried higher reps prolly will do that for a couple months and see if it changes things up.

rolling my booty on a baseball and dumbbell hurts so good.....

[PerpetualMotion]

Did 215x12 touch and go on bench recently. Weighed in at 165. Lost weight, which explains why I've been so sore. I'm not going to test my 225 for a while. I think I'm going to start doing more touch and go benching in the 10-12 range instead of always doing DBs. Speaking of DBs, some upper body stuff that made me happy:

- Dips: 90 for 5 sets of 4.
- DB Bench: 95s for 5x6. Time to upgrade to 100s here.

OH ****.

If by good you mean not good then I agree. Also, RIP, rotator cuff. It's my most sensitive area.

Thx! I'm happy perpetualmotion called me out on it. Definitely felt lats working more as I got up higher. Still not sure if I see any point in dead hanging though lol

Tbh I feel it a lot more in my lats when I dead hang, pause for a second, and then do the next rep. That's how I always do them now.

Haven't done weighted for a while but I tried today and hit 35lbs for 3 sets of 5 after a bunch of lower weight sets. New goal will be 45lbs for a set of 10.

Its not that I don't think the lats aren't working in a dead hang. Its more about finding a balance between ROM and reps. Going to a dead hang will undoubtedly be more difficult, but is the amount of reps being sacrificed worth it from a hypertrophy standpoint? As an analogy, think of tng deadlifts vs dead stop.

I dead stop

I get you though; do whatever you prefer... for me, I find going dead hang is worth the tradeoff; I don't feel like it limits my rep count by much, and definitely not enough to compensate for the greater ROM and isolation of the lats that I feel by doing so.

I've been doing dead stop lately, but that's primarily because my whole small injury. TNG irritates it more. Generally I'll have one day where I do dead stop (power work) and another day for tng (hypertrophy work).

I've been doing neither recently, primarily because of my small injury. Month off all lower (including deads), and then I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks where I'll have a gym, but no proper equipment, so it will end up being closer to 2 months off.

It's sad going to the gym and having a bro split and watching everyone else squat and dead
