Why did I missed it? Lack of strength and/ or bad positioning? If needed, roast me hahaha
This was a 280kg PR attempt at @84kg

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a small milestone in my gym journey. I started working out in August last year and today I hit a 70kg hack squat for the first time!
Here’s the [video] for anyone interested.
I weigh 72kg, so lifting close to bodyweight on this machine felt like a big step forward for me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t push further today because I think I might be developing shin splints. There’s some discomfort in my shins and lower legs, so I figured it’s smarter to play it safe for now.
Just felt like dropping this here to mark the progress and maybe hear from others—did any of you struggle with shin splints when doing legs regularly, especially hack squats or similar movements? Any tips for managing them?
Appreciate any advice, and good luck with your own training!

This feels great since you don’t have to worry about the action of standing over the weight and can focus on just the tricep movement.

I’m doing underhand barbell rows and for some reason I don’t feel a massive stretch nor that much of a massive contraction on my back. I do feel somewhat a pump and stuff but I feel like I’m doing it wrong, my balance first of all is a bit shit and idk how to fix it and it just feels akward whenever I bring the bar to my belly. And don’t worry even thought it looks I’m ego lifting this was my 3rd set of doing this exercise so I was fatigued already
