Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Serious]

Analyze this shyt for me...Should my ass be poking that high?Too much ham involvement? Is the main thing that my back was erect whole time? @semtex

hell yeah, good shyt...

Remember deadlifts are a leg exercise not back...Your form looked pretty good, especially because with the immense weight, you were able to demonstrate a consistent in control movement, with no signs of stress on the back being directly involved..

Also for your size(6'2) it won't look exactly the same as someone shorter (like me deadlifting)

Can't tell yall how many times I cringe in the gym on a daily basis when I see cats deadlifting heavy reps (3+ plates) and then end up stalling the movement, trying the force the weight up by using their back instead of legs...

At this point I don't even say shyt

IMO deadlifts are more of a back exercise than a leg one. It's a compound first and foremost which works multiple large areas. To say they work both back and legs primarily I would agree with. But more a leg workout than back? Nope.

Saying that I do them 1 lower day a week- replacing squats. In a chest/back/legs type routine I would do them on back day.

I'm sad my EC stack ends this week

Already stopped mine because I felt like I had already plateau'd at 2200 calories and I really have no intention of dropping any further because that isn't sustainable. Bumping back up to 2700 for a couple weeks then gonna start the stack again to finish it off back down at 2200 for a few more

The back isn't even involved in doing a DL. From I've seen most people don't know to properly DL. Honestly there should be no feeling(pain) in your back from DL's. It's primarily a Hamstring and quad exercise...

I swear knowing what to do do is easier than doing it at this point.

No need to watch the entire video but at about the 02:18:00 mark Rogan gives Asprey the business regarding his coffee claims.

i feel deadlifts all throughout my body...the most doms in the weak parts that the exercise uses. used to be my lower back and glutes. sometimes lats if i am touching my scapulas extra tight and use it for a lat exercise. when i go heavy mostly forearms and hams. no belt and 4+ plates and my abs are killing me. swiss army knife shyt

I Would recommend reverse dieting than jumping straight to 2700, even though you're still at a deficit you might hold onto some extra water jumping up like that.

Took a progress picture today and I was disappointed on how my legs look. My upper is starting too look a lot bigger than my lower. Admittedly, I don't workout legs, at all. But in my defense, it's because I'm coming off of two fractured hip injuries and it doesn't enable me to put any weight on my legs. The most recent fracture came in January and the doctors advised I stay off of it for awhile.

Starting to get them chicken legs.

Car wreck?

Playing soccer. Broke it the first time last February. Re-broke it the same exact way on the same exact kick in January.
