Very happy with this set. Leg press is one of my favorite movements so I always look forward to this battle.

This is a quad biased press, focusing on a lot of knee flexion and intention in every part of the movement. I work in the 5-10 rep range so I got 7 here which is totally fine.

Excuse the grunting, I don’t usually do it and I’m not a fan of it but this was very very demanding

Cheers!

Any advice on how to progress on these?

Strength is starting to return.

Tldr: Hows my form?

Long version:

(1) The first pair of DBs are 20lbs each, and the second pair i grabbed were 15s. I start off w 20s and then do the 15s as my drop set. Watching this back i see that I’m not hitting failure like i thought i was in my head so will work on that for next push day.

(2) My push lineup used to be tri pushdowns, shoulder press, chest press, upright rows, db lat raise, but sm1 told me upright rows are pointless and i wasnt progressing much w them anyway, so i swapped it out for machine lat raise (which im currently on 50lbs for 5ish reps). This vid is of my 2nd (and last) set of db lat raises, so wo the machine LRs beforehand i maybe could do 25s on dbs? Do yall think i shouldnt do 2 lat raise variations? Ik they both target side delts but they lowk feel like 2 distinct exercises (both of which i love). I’m asking for yalls advice bc i thought my form was solid but common sense tells me they shouldnt feel so distinct😬😭.

(3) On tiktok smb said ur form should look like ur holding 2 buckets of water and trying to pour the water out? Is that valid😂?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to show my progress with tricep dips. The first video was from when I first started doing them in 2025, and the last two are from now. They’re still not perfect, but I think I’ve really come a long way lol. 😭 Also, the last two videos were filmed when I was already fatigued from my previous workouts, so I know my form wasnt perfect. Anyways, I just wanted to share my progress. 🫶

My pause deadlifts keep climbing. This was my second deadlift session of the week, and the second 455 triple of the week (the first one was regular and not paused).

Am I using too much momentum during these curls? This isn’t my working set, my current working sets are 25 lb (set 1) and 20 lb (set 2), but I’m always suspicious about whether I’m using momentum or not. This is a pretty accurate representation of how my working sets go so if form here is good then I should also be good for my working sets.

315 lbs x 10, getting back into deadlifting and they don’t feel quite right.

325x5, 355x3, 375x1

Anything I can do to optimise technique?
What is my estimated 1RM?
