Just started focusing on shoulders again a few weeks ago. Its been a little over a year since getting sober and changing addictions 😂 all tips and critiques are welcome. Thanks in advance!

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.

Found this strange cable/seated bench machine. Does anyone know what it is? All my theories have been debunked
**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?

Granted, these aren’t fully clean reps, I saw my shoulders rounded a little on rep 5, but they still show massive improvement compared to my first ever pull-up done a few months ago.
r/GYM • u/ItsEntsy • 1d ago
been loving these added weight body exercises.

I’m finally able to do a couple pull ups with the lightest resistance band but I need to know if my form is correct or I need to extend my arms more

Taken at bottom of my rep. I have pretty bad ankle mobility but don't have any squat shoes yet.
What do you think?

Consistency is the key.
Hi, I need some advice, I want to do Romanians, but can’t figure out the tech. What am I doing wrong? I feel it in my lover back, not the hamstring as much.
I have quite strong hamstrings from other moves, but I can’t increase the weight because I’m afraid my lover back won’t survive. Any tips are welcome. Thank you
