Homemade Irish Cream

Alright thanks, I guess I'll stick with my upper/lower split for another month to perfect my form and really pay attention to my weights (I tend not to write them down and sort of lose track of progress for some lifts), I still lift very light, only about a 105 bench, 135 squat, and maybe 115 deadlift, but its progress compared to 2 months ago.. My deadlift form in particular I think I need to fix, I almost always feel a lot in my lower back. Thanks guys

 

Throw up a video if you want feedback on your lifts.

Feeling a deadlift in your back is normal, because it uses all of the muscles in your back (lats, traps, rhomboids, erectors, etc). Feeling is fine. Pain is not. There should be no pain.

do you “feel” your back or does it hurt?

 

Have you fact checked this 145# little twerp? Talk is cheap... The reason he won't post a pic is because he's at a Starbucks getting free WiFi getting off on being a keyboard warrior!! Holla... Be well humans need, want, and love carbs

Edit: 50% of the time pack provides great advice and insight!

 

I never thought I’d agree with you on something, but here we are.

be well

 

I wouldn't say it hurts, maybe a bit sore, it doesn't feel normal to me honestly but I don't feel like my form is that bad either, maybe my back is just a lot weaker than my legs? I am deadlifting tomorrow so maybe ill take a quick vid

 

Err to the side of caution for sure.

 

Funny thing is... If we ever hung out we'd be besties... North Carolina and Georgia chaps too... I'll be in Knoxville again and hit you up. Tall, skinny, eighth grade looking body little fellar

 

You ever get a burger at the Pharmacy outside of downtown Nashville? Pretty good!

 

I ate there! I did not like Nashville but I did enjoy the food

 

Yea, I’m back in Nashville full time. Been there twice I think. Pretty damn good. There’s a couple of places around Nashville in the suburbs that’re better though. If you’re ever in Nashville, hit me up and we can go ingest some carbs together.


I’m with Jon though, not a fan of Nashville.

 

I flew in twice just to go to Knoxville.. only stayed one night in NashVegas.. it was cool.. the country in between is pretty nice! Same with Chattanooga north..

 

I look forward to checking out the Carolinas! Love the BBQ style!!

 

Southpaw brewskies?? I had a couple years ago.. they're cheap right?

 

Let’s get a lift in when you get here old man.

be well

 

That'd be awesome!! I'd love to get my white tank top in that bathroom for a selfie!!

 

I don't know if low/zero carbs has ever been properly studied, but as far as anecdotal goes, there are plenty of people who live a carnivore diet, 100% meat, and have for years, and report great health, energy, (smell), etc.

I'm a carbs guy, well after meat, but I wouldn't knock it just cuz 90% of our culture is carb-based. It def works, for most, but not necessarily the best or only way, and not for everyone always.

 

Big and lean as absolutely possible lol
