Haha yeah man but my strength is shocking. Something i'm really tryna improve on now, but i'm worried to start looking flabby if i change my training up too drastically.you look aesthetic though breh
Thanks for the mixed grip advice. Just did 205 3x8 no problems. I'll be able to hit 225 next time for sure. coli comes through again
I also highly recommend this...especially if you/your gym don't like the mess left by traditional chalk.

I haven't used in awhile, but when I was doing heavy DLs, this was a must.

Does the chalk for deadlifts really make a difference? My palms are starting to look like speed bumps

Only thing that changed is I was able to get 410 up for 2 reps on bench. I weighed 257lbs on most of those lifts much less now so they are all probably down.

I hate you superheros I just wanted y'all to know. I haven't maxed out in a while, doing 3x12s now toning out for the summer.

You should only hate them if you are of equal weight to them. You ratio to your bodyweight should be what you are judging against. Someone posted this link recently, check it out:
Weightlifting Performance Standards
If you don't want to test your true one rep max for mental reasons (personally I don't like the idea, I'm not a powerlifter) then just find your 5 rep max and use the calculator.
I'm about 1 month away from being intermediate level, other than squat which I'm lagging a bit while I still work on my technique. I'm probably 2-3 months from intermediate squat level.

Chalk helps immensely if you have grip issues. I could barely do 2x315 deadlifting without chalk and was able to go up to 415 on deads by using chalk. It's the best thing if you have grip issues cause it'll help on other lifts as well (barbell bench, rows, pullups, etc).
