Shoulders and upper back rounding is fine. It makes your arms longer. The lift looked fine.

Thanks. Could be better anyway, I’ll try tro be better.
I have short arms and short legs and long torso.
An old picture, when I was a little bit leaner. (-5 kg) haha
I hope I’ll be in even better shape again.
But on point: When I stand to person with normal proportions his/her pelvis is almost 5-10 cm higher than mine. Also I have very small hand. - lenght of 16 cm to height of 170 cm.
Theoretiicaly I should squat better but nope, not a chance …
Well I’ll get deeper in this article

Thanks. I just don’t do so “maximal” max, safety first. And I’m a little concern about my eyes ( high diopter) and don’t push so hard and don’t do singles. This was just ego , as I said :).
I can sympathise, I did similar with squats a few weeks ago.
Just curious if supplements (such as protein, protein isolate, aminos, etc) as easy to come by in Bulgaria?
Yes, of course , we have everything that is trading on the market and we can purchase everything abroad EU an USA and so on.
@mistershadow I don"t know why you deleted your post. it was nice. Thanks.
Don’t like to put tooooo much information out there but wow. Amazing job. Be safe. Don’t get to big!!

Hi Queen Cobra! I’m a (fairly) long-time member who has been in lurk mode for a while. I logged on to tell you how impressed I am with both your physique and your strength. When I watched the video of your pullups, my jaw literally dropped–I’ve never seen an unenhanced woman perform them so strictly, and so seemingly effortlessly. You have tremendous strength potential–probably more than you realize.
And if your strength wasn’t enough, you’re blessed also with a beautiful physique–simultaneously muscular and curvaceous, and beautifully proportioned. Your waist is absolutely ridiculous–you look as if you’re missing your lower ribs. (That’s a very good thing, BTW.) My best friend in residency was from Bulgaria, and like you, she had an absurdly tiny waist. Must be something in the water over there.
Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished strength- and physique-wise, and best of luck going forward. I’ll be following along in lurk-mode. Take care.

Thank you @EyeDentist.
I’m very gratefull for this attention, as far as I’m a newbie here and just trying to fit in this community. It’s open-minding and really educationing. For years I’ve been in a bulgarian forum but as I said before, it became too closed and backward and hatefull to different type of thinking and training. As far as it’s a small country and small cities, the main characters know each other , training with similar programs and they support only each other logs and opinions.
My strength isn’t enough, a woman in my bodyweight must pull and swuat at least 50% more but I’m happy with my achievements and even with them I’m the strongest in the town (hahah,ridiculously , but still really, girls don’t like to train heavy)

I felt good strenght in my hips and glutes, even that I train them three days in a row. Very smooth and easy. Took many videos, except goblet squats - my phone drop dead couple times a day so it blackened in the beginning of the workout. (I don’t want to give any money for some bullshits :))

OK, have some fun (of me :)).
@EyeDentist good to see you back in the forums. Planning to stay or?
And you are absolutely right. QC is strong and fit.
The hybrid DL was fine btw, again I think you start with your hips to low. Look at it in slow motion, your hips rise a good 5 - 10 cm before the bars leaves the ground.
Next time try to set up with the hips a bit higher, brace hard, push of with the legs and I’m almost certain you’ll feel much better.
IF you want to start with the low hips, you have to lift the bar of the ground using quads before you start the extension.
BUT strong and nice DL.

One cable triple set which I use when I want to recover between the main free weight exercises. This machine is perfect. Could be more strict. Yes, I see my back is rounded in the chest press, @MarkKO hahaha may be I actually have some paranoic thoughts that if it’s not right and nice form it’s not worth it and it doesn’t count.
