Miles Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I will use this thread to detail my strength training / powerlifting journey. I will try to post PR's and shit etc. I am 100 percent open to criticism of my form. Old PRs Spoiler 225 DL Snapchat-645551831.mp4 Spoiler 245 DL VID_258100517_091429_101.mp4 My latest PR, 255 on deadlift.

Weight belts are for people who have bad form (or people who are pulling much, much more weight than I am). Correct form on the deadlift not only won't hurt your back, but will strengthen it.

nielsfalko Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yo hi thicc though, I have no knowledge of form or anything. But if you exceed your own goals (without hurting yourself) that's very nice! Keep grinding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Z. Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 most impressive, new pr form looks better then the old ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yung triple H up in here. Keep up the grind man, results will show! I used to do a lot of weight training back in hs and college for football. One thing I would just suggest is working your other muscles as well. Deadlifting is great, but you are only using your quads and butt muscles (gluteus maximus ) Keep a balanced workout upper and lower body. Lastly, Your form is close to perfect, I'd only recommend using majority of your leg power to pull up the bar to your waist rather than arcing your back to pull up potentially causing a serious back injury. Practice makes perfect keep up the deadlifts and you'll have kim kardashian having a run for her money to keep up with how thicc you will be!

I don't know what the fuck I was doing with my legs on those first two PRs, my stance was so fucking wide. 1 minute ago, KB said: used to do a lot of weight training back in hs and college for football.

I don't just deadlift, but my PRs for Squat/Bench etcetera aren't that impressive yet so I don't want to post them. Soon I will have a 185 bench, and hopefully a 225 squat. I am currently using a slightly modified version of this split. It's been working great for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been training for 6~ months and only been doing it seriously for around 2~ months. My hope is that this thread will live long enough to see me lift "a lot".

Anthony Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Yo bro, thought I'd share as well. Maybe this could be a good start to get HG more active IRL haha or motivate others who are thinking of starting their own weight training journey. I've been in the gym for ~6 months as well and my noobie gains have been crazy. I'm at a bodyweight that fluctuates from 200-205 and hit my PR not too long ago of 335lbs. You're doing great man. I'm not saying I'm a pro or anything but I do have a plethora of knowledge from studying and plenty of military friends that give me guidance daily. Thought I'd share this with ya in case you ever wanted any information on diet, exercise, or anything at all. If I don't have the answer, I definitely know people who do. I didn't start with much body fat to begin with but I've used my own knowledge of nutrition to cut and shred the visceral fat that I had before I properly bulk up on some mfs and try to hit 220+ lbs with low body fat % through this year. Once again, I'm no advanced personal trainer but I love to learn and help others with their fitness goal whether powerlifting, bodybuilding, or functional fitness. On top of that it's just another sense of accountability. Keep grinding bro, I love to see it. By no means am I trying to post on your milestones of my own stuff but I'd rather respond with some results as well to relate and help possibly motivate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to hit 315 on deadlift by the end of the summer. Also, newbie gains are unreal. I HIT 135 LB ON OVER HEAD PRESS! I'm very excited about this lift. A plate on OHP has been a major goal of mine since I started lifting last fall, so it's really awesome to see my work in the gym come to fruition!

My bench has stagnated because I got another shoulder injury, so I'm taking it easy on presses for a couple weeks. Spoiler Snapchat-1820404245.mp4 Also I've completely switched to this split for the last month-ish. I'm about to move and I am worried about finding a gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Finally updating this thread.... So I don't powerlift anymore, instead I do something much more fun! Olympic Weightlifting! Spoiler 20230408_150840.mp4 20230522_173608.mp4 20230519_190412.mp4 I'm currently working through an injury and coming back from taking a long break, so the weight on the bar is low. My previous PRs for Clean and Jerk and Snatch are 100kg and 80kg, respectively. My squat got up to 140kg, but I only ever did that once. Anyways, the videos above are just some of what I've been doing recently. Keeping it light and doing mostly form work. Anyways, that's my lifting update.
