Am reaching this Sat!

Haven't trained for 1 month and drank beer everyday!

Good times,lol

recently i found no more muscle sore for the rest of the day after workout, be it at chest, back, shoulder, and arms. I start to doubt whether I am not lifting enough weights, but the issue is, whenever i tried to add on some weight during workout, very often i lost strength at 6/7th rep

my concern is, should i keep following heavier weight @ lower reps, kinda lift until you can't take it anymore, despite it stopped at 6th rep (standard rep per set is 12)

or

lift lighter weight @ 20 reps @ 4-5 sets

which one is more efficient for muscle growth

Chinese New Year around the corner, easy with ur food guys XD

For muscle kinks and stuff, yeah. I had a slight pull in my right trap a couple months back. Just doing some deep tissue work with a tennis ball fixed that after a week or two, IIRC. Hurts like a b*tch, but it works.

From what I understand, numbness usually equates to something concerning nerves. I'd say get it checked out, even though it's not painful.

Wah... then you never train back with me before... No deads but still fatigue like crazy...

I can make you feel fatigue in just 4 sets of back exercises. That's my back routine. Believe or not? =P

FF IOI Mall open days on 27 (or was it 29, can't recall what I saw exactly at the banner)-31 Jan.

You've trained with me before. the poundages I used to lift with you are nothing compared to what I lift now. everything has went up. when we next train together I is gonna make you throw up. you've seen my back with just 2 exercises. heh.

Went to a GP , by the 2nd visit i was reffered to a specialist.

It's a downer really. Made so much progress since Spetember in terms on lifts , no i feel it's gonna reset back to square one 

Was told to stay away from weights till early Feb , if problem still persists go for some Cortisone injection.

camera rosak, give me 6 months 

Love the barefoot.no homo. I dead lift light nowadays. If I can get someone to record my deads this Friday I post it here. Dumb ass iPhone cant stand on its own. But man, that is some heavy ass weight

lol
bro..u commented on my deadlift

Try doing a PR without the belt... you seem to rely quite heavily on it.

Your legs shiver quite an amount there or is it just me?

But those weights are massive bro. GJ 

what's your 1RM without belt?

Just my 2 cents with the PR. I would always recommend wearing a belt when performing a PR. No PRs should be attempt without a belt. All the talk about one having their own "natural belt (e.g.; adonis belt)', hence the negligence of a good WL belt is flawed.

I like the fact that Mikehuan actually lifts barefooted (preferably with thin soled shoes, like those slip-ons). Ideally, on a deadlift, you would want to minimize the amount of contact distance between your foot and the floor.
I think Mikehuan's starting position is a little bit high. Try to get your hips lower when you start.  If you can't you will need to not extend your hips until the bar passes your knee cap. Then you just hip-drive the thing.

Maybe you should try a touch-and-go deadlift rather than slamming the bar on the ground after every single rep. I find it less-pleasing when someone does that in a gym, and also touch and go deadlift will allow you to work with more volume. Only perform a full-reset when you want to work on form or your touch-and-go style is not progressing. Thats how I look at things. Legs shiver because hamstring is fatigued/worn out. So maybe some hamstring work will help. Also try elevated deadlift. Rack deadlift is also good to work on the upper phase of the lift. I find that deadlift with straps isn't the most ideal thing to do since it can actually give your wrist a lot of stress. Mixed grips is good. If you worry about grip, then use chalk/liquid chalk. Or as an alternative, you can do some grip work too.

This is how I interpret lifting. Low reps = Demonstrate Strength, Moderate-High Reps/Volume = Improve Strength and Grow. That is only one perspective though. You need to include other factors too. Not gospel by any chance. Oh, and don't overanalyze things. Notice the amount of time you spend between the moment you get the bar off the ground and the moment you step up towards the bar. To me, that is just mind-f**king, but thats just how I feel lah. Nothing too serious as long as you are ok with it. Another thing maybe you want to take note is to face away from the mirror and find a point to lock your eyes at (e.g.; ceiling fan, etc) just so that you can remain that nice arch/angle on your back when you lift. That way, you can lift safely and less chances of an injury.

Just something to think about. Hope that helps a little.

How about deadlifting naked with just a belt? =P

I agree with this. I swear it gives you 300% more strength!

No homo? You need to be careful. We've got an invasion. LOL!
Lol at least you weren't pinned under a fairy (slang).
