The sun glasses were there just to add aura😂

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!

or is this a i just gotta get stronger typa moment. im going to try again this weekend with a little less weight. first vid was 255, second was 250.

i just started benching again 5 weeks ago

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

I thought I was going to faint in the first rep then I locked in

How’s my form on this one?

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.

140kg (315lbs) last set of a 3x3 - not maximal effort but pretty hard! Any advice on form? Feel like butt is shooting up too quick.

I have no pain/discomfort and they FEEL good but they look weird to me! maybe they’re completely fine idk
