Yes, I'm on gear. Glad we got that out of the way 😊

I'd like to get a 50%/BW Single Arm Kettlebell Z-Press soon.

The heaviest bell i've pressed for working sets lately is 36.5kg for 5.

When I look at these videos, I see my back is curved. What can I do to improve this and anything else you see?

Ive been trying to do RDL for a month now, but I still cant seem to get the form right. Ive noticed that my form starts to break down towards the end. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Deadlifts haven't felt this good in a while.

BW 205 plus 45lb bump plate. This is my final burnout set. Nothing fancy or crazy today.

from 14kg to 8kg

How does these look? Weight okay?

The lockout was kinda shoddy.

Had 2 attempts at 140kg / 308lb which were pretty close, but couldn't quite hit full elbow extension.

Hello! As the title says, I’m curious how y’all personally enjoy leg day. I’ve been in the gym for coming up on 11 months, and while I adore push and pull, I have a deep hatred for leg day. I find the exercises boring, unrewarding, and (due to joint instability) painful. I’m curious how all of you structure your workouts to be more enjoyable and what helps you properly train and improve at leg day. Thank you!

The context is that I'm trying to build up some basic strength to break out of a cycle of various leg injuries over the past two years, in another sport. Never had any experience working out, so I'm not sure I'm doing those correctly. Any feedback or advice would be appreciated. Video quality from latptop is crap, sorry.

We have a sled in our school weight room that currently uses carpet cut outs to let it slide on the hallway floor without it damaging the floor.

The only problem is that the carpet falls apart and the zip ties break.

Anyone have any clever or common sense ideas to help solve this and make it better?

And yes, it is dusty 🤦‍♂️

Thanks!

Rhis is 25kg btw.

350 squat, 245 bench, 405 deadlift. Could've been under a minute if I didnt mess around with the straps. It was fun try on a no clock Saturday.

4 years of training get here. One of only a handful of fully natural stones of 190kg+ ever put to shoulder. Lifetime drug free and around 240lbs body weight at the time.
No barbell or metal weights lifted as part of programming since 2019.

Thinner bar, straight bar path, buttery smooth. It is the best smith machine by far imo.

**Neither of these are impressive achievements. They are both very mid if you are training directly for them. The only reason it is difficult is doing them on back to back days. Also, race went poorly coughing up blood at mile 72 and couldn't run past mile 76.

As far as I can tell nobody has done this before. I'm sure people can but I haven't found anyone actually trying. I've spent the past 18 months trying to accomplish this and after numerous setbacks I finally got it done. At first my body kept getting injured until I figured out the correct splits for this. I ended up at

Monday - squat

Tuesday - bench optional 5 mile run

Wednesday - 10 to 15 mile run

Thursday - Deadlift option 5 mile run

Friday - off

Saturday - long run on course

Sunday - 5 to 10 mile run

Then I went for it July 25th at burning river and hit all my lifts, but sprained my ankle at mile 5. I couldn't run anymore at mile 40 and DNF'ed at mile 50. So my training for the past 10 weeks has been painful and miserable. My ankle never fully healed because I kept training, but it never stopped me from getting in the miles and it barely effected the lifting. All of my lifts the day before were just my second attempts because I didn't want to destroy myself too badly before the race. I had a level 2 powerlifting judge give me the yes or no on every lift. The race went amazing for 72 miles until I couldn't breath deeply anymore and developed a bad cough with pinkish phlegm. I think I developed exercise induced pulmonary edema, because anytime I drank water or lied down my throat would gurgle and cause me to cough. So after mile 76 I could barely run anymore and had to walk it in. Thankfully, I ran a 9:25 front 50 and had plenty of time to basically crawl to the finish line.

I've been training through some pretty bad injured and I'm going to take some time off to do some easy bodybuilding and get healthy. I know I'll never run another 100 miler its just not fun after mile 80, but I may enjoy some 50 milers in the future. Has anyone else seen someone do this before?
