I don't actually lift, it was my first time

No idea what happened in the photo, at least I look my normal self in the cover photo of the FB group and not some twig.

I like the twig photo, I kinda want to send that and the vid to a friend of mine and go "See! You don't have to be huge to be strong!"

Since I did my first deadlifts last week since my spinal surgery I hope I can work my way back up.

I want to try some goblet squats this week as well.

Twig theory was killed by Tom Martin. It's now better to be twig than big!

Delvis · 4 Feb 2013 at 14:31

How is the back since the weekend by the way?

N19h7m4r3 · 4 Feb 2013 at 14:34

Feels much better today. Been doing a lot of stretching and foam rolling, along with a walk into town. Did me some good.

I shall be doing some weighted back extensions today at the end of my training.

Nice videos FF.

Rob Palmer - man crushed engaged.

The plates make it extremely hard to guage the weight and appreciate how heavy some of those lifts actually are. I'd rather see a longer bar with a **** load of 20's either side

Freefaller · 4 Feb 2013 at 14:41

Yeah he's a beast.

Yeah the 25kg plates are so thin it does make it look less impressive - but the amount of bend on the bar is still ridiculous!

Delvis · 4 Feb 2013 at 16:06

i'll just leave this here...............

Skillmister · 4 Feb 2013 at 16:14

How much was that? Can't even tell with those plates.

Delvis · 4 Feb 2013 at 16:16

No idea, it's more the hysteric laughing at the start I'm concerned about

Delvis · 4 Feb 2013 at 16:24

I also believe this is 280kg? Bench press

Someone remind me of the name and i'll edit the video

nuts but the guy is basically a spud with Trex arms like all big benchers.

Delvis · 4 Feb 2013 at 16:42

That was nothing, one guy had an arch that resembled a mountain, rom was about 2 inches.

Either way, the above guys squat, bench and deadlift was epic.
