just finished my post workout meal! before heading to gym, spam 1st XD
OH yeah! 95kg squat today!! that will be my new PR ^o^

how many reps?

95 kg?... shit... i can only manage 55kg x10 rep x 5 set ATG.... sick.....

i dont dare do heavier...coz i scared after i clean it up then when tired no energy to return it softly..

the perils of having no squat rack

squat is for what muscle ?

for what muscle?.... mainly quads...glutes slightly on your back.... depends on what variation u do...

Nice!

Quads, hams and core for stability, IIRC.

If I understand the problem correctly, you can buy a pair of cheap stools to emulate the function of the safety pins of a squat rack. Not ideal, but they ought to catch the bar when you fail (you'll mostly fail at the bottom anyway, not midway).

5x5x95kg ATG

go to buy scaffolding and diy it

mostly on glute and quad, but it used up around 90%(or 60%? i 4got ) of your body muscle

succeed in doing it or not?

sure last set rest for 3min, if failed i will smashed myself with plate

I did my first heavy wide-grip deadlift with a belt earlier today. Holy crap, makes alot of difference. Without a belt, not too difficult, still can stand straight after each set.

But when I wear a belt, feel like dying after each set and start to see stars. Found out that my back tended to hunch abit without the belt (probably due to back sprain I had a few months before), using the belt helped correct my form.

that means with belt its harder?

No lah, you won't smash yourself. Your body will respond to you dumping the weights.

Yes, at least for me.

Observe correct form with the deads. Back tight! Don't be hunching.

Also, belt too tight? My friend used to have that problem, it was quite funny to see him all redfaced.

i have yet to try a belt...
with belt, is it possible to go heavier?
if yes, then it will be a real good news for me then... haha

Hmmmm, thinking wanna get my own belt also,

izzit true if we carry lots of weight without using belt, the presure went u

lifthing can make Buasir, i donnu what it call in english, but i try to

google it, its call haemorrhoid, correct me if am wrong ya guys,

if yes, thats scary man....

I had a headache last night before hitting the gym. I had a feeling that if I did legs it will probably get worse.

I was supposed to do legs that night but did a 65 mins jog instead. My headache subsided after the jog.

Will replace weight training session on Thursday.

LOL, you misunderstanding of my post, perhaps my english too lame...lol


i mean if i failed i am not going to forgive myself.

buasir only happen when your food intake bad... lack of fiber, water, etc..
when you do heavy work, internal pressure is high.. so you need to squeeze your glute (kemut) and brace your abs (hardened it like someone want to punch on your abs) .
honestly i got internal hemorrhoid, i got that when i still studying, lots of smoke, lots of spicy food, less drinking, less fiber..
now i do lots of deadlift, 130kg and increasing.. dont have any problem related to buasir, and also i dont wear belt.
for me better you train your core first, if your core is weak, sure got problem when lifting heavy. try study and understand the mechanical movement of each exercise, not copy and practice. you dont want pop your spine disk (hernia), rite?
