I couldn't lift regularly with a place that didn't have at least 100s.
I don't know how anyone makes gains at places like certain PF where they only go up to like 70.

Tried sumo deadlifts today and it was 
for me. I'll drop some weight to perfect the form, and stick to those for a while.
Also, this guy at the gym took all of the 45lb rubber plates and had them around him the whole time he was lifting. Not using them the whole time. I just had to
and laugh it off.

Same here man. I was stupid and tried conventional again after I was recommended not to because of my back and form. Threw my low back way off and had to go to chiro today. I'm 6ft so it's better for me and that lockout feels amazing. I just can't lift as much sumo yet which is why I tried conventional. But oh well I'll work my way to itTried sumo deadlifts today and it was

I have this habit of making my PRs look super easy to the point where I'm asked to put more weight on
And then I completely wipe out the next set lol

What's the difference between sumo and conventional.

Sumo is like making love and conventional is like *******.

Lol, if I'm right..
Sumo shortens the distance the barbell travels vertically
In conventional stance, it travels longer
I believe you should be able to lift more sumo

Not me. I lift way less. The feel is different and I feel more glute and leg activation vs conventional

Yeah I'm 6'1 and not too flexible, so sumo just feels better to me. Gonna make sure I perfect that form though first.

Well heading into my final week on candito (old one...that new squat routine he just put out looks like murder...and doesn't make a lot of sense to me since there are no weight amounts given for the pin squats)
Squatted 325 for 3 then 330 for 3 and then 335 for 3. This week i have to do 335 for 3 then 345 for 1-2 before my final go at 355 next week. My goal is still to squat 405 by end of march at under 180lb body weight. My current calculations are at a 1 rep max of 365 so if i can some how get 355 for 3 reps according to candito that makes my new max 387. Which means i can do the program again with that max and be at my 405 goal.
Pulled 455 for 1 after my squat session. Hit 405 for 3 and the weight moved too easy so i was like eff it il add more. My DL 1 rep max is 475 would like to pull 495 one day.
That quartersquat IG is lulz

Im gonna assume he wants to use the pin squats as a sort of overload work, so I think you would use 90%-110% of your max.

I saw someone go from squatting 365 to 405 in a week. I joked with him that he should try 465 next lol.

People can mentally be limited by what they think they can lift.
Also just improving form can boost lifts up.

So much truth to this. I always doubted how much I can lift. Specifically DL and squat until I tried it

He could have hit 405 the same day more than likely.

Fun question:
What are everyone's goals for this year? I know a lot of the dudes posting in here have been at this for awhile, so what are you pushing yourself towards for 2016?
Mine:
I started competing (Men's Physique) last year, took 4th at my first show. Second show I took my class and 2nd overall out of about 130. 9 weeks out from my next show where I'm looking for the overall. The big goal for this year comes in June when I'm going for my pro card in Chicago. Will be competing in both Classic Physique and Men's Physique this year.
What drives y'all?
