I've had people record me - doesn't bother me, but then again I'm the boss of the gym (well I think I am)

XZiBIT · 30 Jun 2011 at 14:36

Small update but progress is pretty tough for me currently.

125 / 150 / 175 -------- [78] Total 450

Bench was with wrist straps.
Squat and sumo deadlift with belt.

I don't think it's a problem if people don't, it probably just means your a pussy.

I generally train with mates so it's never a problem, but even if I was alone I'd generally try to video all of my bigger lifts so I can see where my form breaks. Although granted this is only really important from a powerlifting point of view, but I still find it interesting looking at other peoples efforts.

On the market for a cheep skate wireless webcam

if I can get hold of a good wireless webcam

I'll drop some videos of myself when I get back up there with the heavy weights again, Still lifting but only light weight.

Was planning on going for 1RM in squat and bench today, but my left knee feels terrible. A slight twist of the leg and I get a sharp pain, I guess it could be a tendon or something? I'm not sure what's brought it on either...

NeverWinter · 30 Jun 2011 at 18:48

I really want to give this 1RM a go, but I have no spot. I guess I could smith it, but I hate that machine.

I know at the moment I can rep:

115/120/140

You don't need a spot for deadlift or squat if you have a cage.

If you have a rack, does it have safety bars? If so, as long as you can go to parallel then its all good

Freefaller · 5 Jul 2011 at 20:52

Neverwinter and baxter can I have your bodyweights please.

^TANK^ · 5 Jul 2011 at 20:55

You can have my body weight for push press 143.5 kilos at the time, a lot less than that now thank god!

Cristian · 7 Jul 2011 at 21:15

Arse comes up a bit too quick, and you're almost stiff deadlifting. Back is starting to round a little too. Try and keep your chest up more.

Cristian · 7 Jul 2011 at 22:21

I take it that's too much back rather than leg drive? Is that an injury risk ?
yes, the rounding bit I'm aware of and will try to sort out.

Freefaller · 7 Jul 2011 at 22:28

You need to push with your legs more yes.

Morba · 7 Jul 2011 at 23:04

nice comfortable looking lift though tbh. few tweaks and you have a lot more in you

haha, cheers big fella.

Mansize_tissue · 8 Jul 2011 at 01:42

As Morba said nice lifting, definitely look like you could have more in the tank with a little work.

LiE · 8 Jul 2011 at 08:31

Cristian I would say try using smaller plates for a while and start your lift a little lower, it will develop your bottom part of your deadlift. I start almost in a parallel position now where as I used to have my arse higher like you.
