We had a wild night deadlifting last night and both hit new PRs on deadlift 245 and a 465 getting closer to that 500 so fairly happy

Wow, you pulled 465? Impressive as hell. What do you weigh?

Completed my first GORUCK Challenge today. 13 hours, 14 miles with a 40 pound pack carrying all sorts of fucked up things around, walking down Van Ness without socks or shoes, and more push ups and f

Im all about my GORUCK training right now. Running 6-8 miles with 4-5 bricks in my bag then doing push-ups, pull ups, sit ups, flutters, Burpees, bear crawls... and drinking beer for good measure.

@hogg Around 190, I've hit 200kg before but with straps and belts so never counted them, using wave training with my squats and deadlifts and seeing a huge increase over the last few weeks so with deadlifts I'd do 5,3,1,5,3,1,5,3,1 and squats 6,4,2,6,4,2,6,4,2 so your always hitting big numbers, if you've never heard of wave training you basically start with 60x5 then 80x3,100x1,80x5,100x3,120x1,100x5,120x3,140x1 so your constantly building up

That's awesome that your lady is kickin' so much ass, @Rikhall. I pull conventional, erring on the side of straight-legged. I can't get with sumo. My issue is breaking the floor. If I can get the bar to my knees, I'm golden. Sumo is harder off the floor, then easier after. Doesn't sound it would suit me, but it sure seems to work for you.

@hogg I did sumo for my 1st 8 sets yesterday then failed on 465 with sumo so had a little rest cranked the iPod up and lifted conventional and it flew off floor, but I'm sure if I work on my sumo more than once a month il get to a similar level, you into barbell or dumbell RDLs? Yep she's killing it at the moment,

I'm falling behind in everything. Stupid little injuries are going to have me chasing little hogg. And I weigh 50lbs more than the guy, so I'm not even talking relative strength. The guy is a beast as-is.

1) You're being sweet.

2) You're up to 220? Damn!

This thread needs more tattoo movement for it being a thread about lifting.

I had to stick it in quotes so that the video didn't embed itself in the box and display my big ass. Now you have to click through to see it for those who are squeamish. If you happen to peruse my channel, you can see me from a couple years ago, tattoo free.

Had a month off training due to getting my knee tattooed and work stuff, it's pretty hard to motivate yourself after a day working outside in 33 degrees, but went back Monday nailed some reasonably heavy sumo deadlifts and yesterday hit 110 on incline dumbbell chest press, got me pretty excited to be back in the gym

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
