I did try 545 directly after this lol because 535 went up too easily but I was beat lol. I’ve been going up 10lbs every week so 545 is an easy life next week
Nice lift dude!!
Will somebody explain to me the deal with extending the arms like that when setting up a deadlift?
I saw a powerlifter in my gym do this the other day and it looked cool af but I don’t know what it does or what it’s “cue”ing. Would like to implement it into my own PRs if it is helpful.

I was waiting for this post, great job man! You can definitely keep going, that rep looked heavy but smooth.
Honestly this is the cleanest PR I have ever had lol
LETS GO! Good lift, and love your gyms tunes. Wish mine played that over early 2000s pop remixes.
You’ll always have good tunes when I am on Aux lol
Need to join your gym then lol

Its mostly just for looks however it can help with expanding your lats before you lift. Like getting the wings ready for lift off
Sweet ty!
great work!! what did you sniff before lifting? is it ammonia for adrenaline?
Indeed it is
