Hi guys. I've been reading the forums and decided to begin some workouts. I was hoping you guys can help me out on something.

I did some deadlifting (6 times of 5 reps x 40kg, around 2 mins rests in between) and was having some sores on my lower back. Before this there was no problem when i was doing it with 20kg.

So I think perhaps there's something wrong with my form. I've gone through the stickies, mark rippetoe videos etc but there might be mistakes that I didn't notice with my form. Do you guys mind correcting me?
Below is the link:

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but since i saw DL posting his deadlifting video, so I might as well.
Thank you in advance!

after everyone go back...

Appreciated your feedback. I just started barely a month ago, so I'm the total newbie DOMS for 72 hours? Wow, I feel for ya. Looked at your workout journal, keep it up!
Just plain soreness, so I guess for now its just plain old DOMS at the lower back. Anyway I'm taking precaution against potential serious problems such as herniated disc etc in the future, hence I want to get the form right by consulting you guys. I'll keep your pointers in mind for the next session! Thanks, dan

Hey all chaps

It's been a long time and it's going to be another update for me.
Current
9-9-11(according to my lappy)

Mind the tummy, I've never controlled my eating. Waist size currently running at 36-37ish.

Critics are welcomed so are compliments if there are.

Edit* Last time there was a forumer who asked me the inch of my biceps. I've measured it last 2 weeks ago. Last measure is 18in
Edit* Current weighing at 104. Previous pic was <100. Bout 92 if I'm right. I know the weight went where.

Need advice on how to get the line on my chest. Been working out on incline and benching but no avail. Do i need to take supplements?

Currently running around 185?

That's the weird part. Unfortunately I'm left hand dominant. But my right arm gain is more than my left. Not so sure why. Weirdest part is I don't do arms exercises like curls or anything but not so sure why it affects.

Yeah supplements helping me to improve. Currently going to 3rd tub, myofusion Very solid.

And since the last I saw you dan, you're looking huge yourself man. Measurements running at?? I'm seeing all the oldies here doing well ~

still dan, impressive proportion you have there. I'm a fatty and you're lean mass bro! keep up the progress. Will check back this thread in weeks

My progress after started lifting for 1.5 years (since sept 2010). Pictures taken during end of March 2012. Max bench: 85kg x 5, Max squat 130kg x 4, max pullups: 13 reps. My weight in the picture 69.5kg, around 10% bf (estimated). Very lacking on traps, shoulders and upper chest.

This is taken on last friday..

I'm wearing the black singlet.. This is my partner who is competing soon in May. Cant compare with him at all, he's very discipline and strict in diet. while, i try to control as strict as possible 

My partner started from one thin guy into this level, while i'm from fat into this.

If i didnt workout or get pumped, i look small fat 

Im still lacking for most of the part.

getting smaller lol.. by right, should get leaner but getting smaller lol...

Still learning from you guys..

Thanks bro... Now struggling with cutting. I underestimate it before... Haha... Now leg trembling doing 5 times cardio per week + high reps lifting.
Bulking over 5 years... Too slow IMHO. Anyway thanks bro. Will update again this month end.
Thanks bro. For my case I feel cutting much difficult than bulking...
Of coz looks much different bro... 5 years time from 55kg to 90kg (early of Feb). Now almost 86kg

if you meant the steel members to hold the weights, yes the owner has modified to a longer horn lol. and if that does not work...



kinda good, doesnt stress the knees, though shorter people have a problem with it as the starting position is kinda high up. ROM is quite short though IMO. at the bottom position your thighs are literally pressed against your chest.

HS machines has a bigger ROM, imo and the lack of incline makes it harder too (which is a good thing)
