Deadlift

1x190
1x207.5 PB


0x210
0x210 Failed both of these well above knee but just can't lock them out! So week at lock out, feels like its time for some serious upper back work!

1x190
1x190
5x160
8x140 Did these as dimmels to work on upper back was fried by the end of these!

Felt good esepcially with a new PB but need more upper back work added to help me lock out. Any suggestions on good exercises to try?

Do you focus on driving the hips once the bar goes above your knees?


***18 and above comment alert lol ***
Ex once told me to think I was nailing a girl from behind, and that really worked to know how to drive my hips... haha

Congrats on the PB and Gus was thinking about a dude!

In all fairness I think I was more thinking 'fucking hell this is heavy' Gus, As the 210kg was a weight I wasn't expecting to hit all plans of form went out the window! Will really try focusing on popping my hips through. Will think of the nailing reference Mite practice that later tonight!
How can you tell if the issue is hip drive or upper back affecting lock out?

Cheers Mike, I wouldnt like to cast aspersions on Gus, but . . . anyone who posts a picture online with their shorts pulled that high has some issues lol

squat

1x140

Failed this in the hole, this put my neck in agony. Cramping up hard down the right side an decided to call it a day. Not much but equally a PB after a shitty day at work and pulling a PB 24hrs before isnt too bad I suppose!. Gutted tho, was gonna treat myself to a kfc if i made it! lol
