You’ve choosen a very difficult sport- the O-lifts and this is unmeasurably harder than some push and pull and curls in the gym. Stay strong, boy, you have decades ahead to improve.

Thanks. I couldn’t take a nice pic - my poor phone do not cooperate. But yeas, these are my strongest groups alongside with the chest
I came for the pull-ups and stayed for the incredible pictures of ancient architecture.
Really fun log!

Well, I’m happy that you’re happy :). I run this log to share my gym experience and my strugles, but not the least for social contact and feedback.
Unfortunately, I live in too poor and corrupted country and everything around like historic monuments are ruined

Definitely, but looks like more success than struggle - you’re killing it.
But still gorgeous! I do sympathize, though I can’t pretend to really “get it,” with your political concerns - I don’t envy you there; but I do love seeing the pictures. It’s great to see, as well, that you’re at least able to get out and appreciate what still stands!

Today AGAIN I played a coach to a newbie- a small young girl, first time in a gym. The gym owner didn’t want to bother himself to train her (for free) and directrly from the door called me and pushed the poor girl in my hands :). I did my best, we did BW squats, RDL , lat pull down and shoulder presses with these little baby dumbbells of 1 and 2 kg. My pupil was great- she perforned everything perfect. But sadly I couldn’t do my whole workout and skipped some accesories.

Let’s see this unplanned double. May be my hips and glutes were tired even so I didn’t feel muscle soreness. I see some common mistakes like high start position and less leg activation. I needed to flex the traps but I wanted to try some new technique that you squeeze the lats , not traps. I’ll figured out.
But this nearly my PR so I’m almost satisfied.

Good feeling to have that level of trust though?
Well, I think I deserve it :)As a matter of fact I’m almost the only one heavy training woman in the town (and the surrounding district) and the most muscular. It’s not popular among the women here to make muscles … They just flap there legs and arms with lightest dumbbells and most likely on the machines.

It’s pretty rare here too. Although now big asses are becoming more popular, you occassionally see some gym shark wearing girls in the weight room doing bizarre things they’ve seen on Instagram. Never seen any more than once in my gym though.
Absolutely. I’ve seen 2-3 like them too. But they don’t know what to do and how to do it and all I can see is muffin tops and fat asses in sportswear that cost my 1/4 of my salary.
Well, I live in a small town, nevertheless it’s the main in the district . We have only 3 gyms here, all of them on the same street. Only 2 years ago they were 2.
In the bigger cities is different.
In the least “dirty old man” way possible, they often look pretty good. Not fitness model good, but still good. They rarely have even the slightest clue what they’re doing though, coasting by purely on youth and genetics.

Pretty nice. Deadlift stable and easy, don’t push myself to the max.
Deadlift with elastic band around the hips probably will be my new holy grail. I saw it a week ago but it’s time to start doing it.

Last week deadlift session.
Didn’t look terrible, but I didn’t feel it right.
I got sharp muscle soreness in erectors which means I pulled up wrong. Here I tried to squeez my lats , but not so succesfull.Today I understand that a resistance band around my hips is very helpfull with this.
Great struggles with flexing abdominal area and keeping the intra abdominal pressure - I know how should be , but I can’t achieve it- and I see a lumbar flexion as a result.
I will continue to attempt .
conv. deadlift 87,5kg
conv. deadlift 87,5kg -2

There’s no magic. The forum automatically embeds Youtube and Vimeo videos, so you don’t need to/shouldn’t hyperlink them. Just post the direct link on a line of its own.

No prob. The Mods try to catch it when they can, but yeah, the system does it on its own.
