Congrats, you made that look easy. It's missing one thing though. You've got to finish with a Larry Wheels style hulk rage

Not looking forward to my heaviest deadlift day later this afternoon. A tad warm.
Isometrics now added in to my rehab schedule. Not only are they awful but they make you look like an ego lifter who can't move the bar

I've started doing isometrics, love them.. but yes you look like a tool to the untrained eye.

Still looks better than the guys strutting around in their belts shoulder pressing 12kg dumbbells whist wearing a cap
I tried doing sumo deadlift for the first time on Friday as I think my form is not good on normal deadlift...
My legs felt really sore (never felt that before in all my time doing Squats / normal deadlifts)
Ive been deadlifting 120kg - so jumped in at 90kg sumo - it was much tougher than the 120kg normal deadlift..
Is this what sumos affect the most?

Going to have to dial my squat total back somewhat, no idea what is going on. Will take a step back I think and will rebuild.

Since I finished physio I've been sitting at the same weight focusing on being super comfortable with my form.
Still not 100% on my shoulders,
What ques/tips would people give when trying to get them 'set'?

Sumo does use more legs than a conventional deadlift
it's also a fair bit harder off the floor but usually easier at lockout. Post a form vid

Lower bicep pain. Ideas? Tendons? Think it just needs a rest.

Epic cutting fail today, CEO bought our whole office Lola's Cupcakes and i couldn't resist. Checked the nutrition of it.... 481 calories....61g of sugar
Feel guilty now.
Fear not, a one-off cupcake or two won't wreck a diet that spans a weeks/months.
Catch us up: what is the problem?

For those that don't know: isometrics are like eccentrics: stronger contractions than concentrics, making them a useful addition to a routine to break plateaus or just make yourself hurt horribly.

Well I went to Physio for my hip, and on the whole I had pretty bad form.
Coming back into things I'm finding my elbows get sore getting under the bar, and I can feel that my shoulders/back have slackened
and I'm looking for pointers on what I should look/feel for to know I'm getting it right, because I feel like I'm lifting my shoulders into the bar like a shrug almost, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing haha.
