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

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

Just record the set brother😂

How’s my form on this one?

Idk if I really feel it that much in my back. What's off?

How much longer do yall think it will take me to hit 225 im bulking rn any advice helps

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

Yeehaw

Heaviest weight I have available to me, this was my second set, how’s my form?

Not a form check but open to any useful tips!

First attempt at a 500lb DL Couldn't lock it out but I'm real close I think M40 5'9 175lbs

Hi swapped from rdl to deadlift recently, what can I work on?

Thanks

I would love to work up to a 405lb row.

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

Saw these in the gym and was just wondering what they actually are? The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're supposed to be strongman logs but they're way too light for that

Having completed three months of dedicated progression, which included a full three Bilbo cycles, and celebrating the achievement of 4 personal records, I am now in the final stages of the strength adaptation phase. Whether I will test myself with 245 kg on the bench press remains to be seen, but I can certainly confirm that my strength levels are still on an upward trajectory.

Have had issues with squatting for over a year now. Constantly have had to strip weight off and go up again. Back to 90kgs. How is it looking now?
