Today I wasn't feeling very well before going to the gym. Once there I started feeling strong. Specially on deads and rows.

 

[tman55]

you are getting stronger.

 

[luquillo78]

Thanks tman. Back and legs movements continue to progress (Bench is still very poor). I think that my short legs and long arms help a lot with deadlift.

[luquillo78]

Nice job on the PRs man!

Thanks!

nice work Luq!.. why don't you go for 400x4 or 5 next time??

hahaha I wish I could pull 400 x 4. I can hardly lift my 2nd rep at 400.

 

[AngryMuscles]

nice pulls

you're conventional?

 

[luquillo78]

nice pulls

you're conventional?

Yes, not sumo. I use narrow stance, raw.

 

[AngryMuscles]

good for you. I could never get my conventional right at all...

 

[luquillo78]

good for you. I could never get my conventional right at all...

Why not?

 

[AngryMuscles]

my hips/back keep flying up first before I could even start the lift and mostly put it there...sumo is the way for me..and yes, i've been hitting abs and adding 10 reps per session I do.

 

[AngryMuscles]

but I haven't tried conventional deads for a long time...I could be wrong now though

 

[irishdave]

That's good deadlifting. I doubt I'll be able to deadlift for a few weeks after my last workout. My back needs more rest, I hope I don't lose too much progress I was just getting up to repping 370~
