@majeikstagram Get it!!!!!!!!!

Deadlift PR today ☠️💪 425 lbs. 1x5 The mental roller coaster on a heavy PR set of 5 is extreme. Today went something like this: Rep 1: there’s no way you’re gonna get 5 of these Rep 2: ok that wasn’t so bad Rep 3: ugh these are getting heavy Rep 4: oh no this is grindy I’m not getting 5 Rep 5: I am actually dying (live in real time) New deadlift 5RM came with a gym first today! I had to burp between reps 4 and 5 …turns out it wasn’t a burp. So I did what any real man would do - I swallowed it back down and gave rep 5 everything I had! Hard men do hard things. You need to prepare yourself for discomfort - this is the only thing that leads to growth. This is how we win. Today was uncomfortable, but successful. May the Lord be praised now and forevermore! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

@BakerBarbell Your 8-5-2 protocol has been doing wonders for me. In a way the only 'brutal' week is the 5s. 2s are heavy but its just 2 reps. 8s are hard but it isn't as heavy.

In a well structured strength program - your planned deloads may not always feel “easy.” Lifters report that back to me all the time. “Why did the deload week feel so heavy?” One - were deloading because we hit a little mini peak and you NEEDED the deload. ie were deloading BECAUSE you are fatigued. If we just kept adding weight that week - it might be a shit show. Two - deloads need to dissipate fatigue BUT prevent detraining. That’s actually hard to get right. Just going super light and easy will get you recovered but also detrained. So deloads can’t be too much of a drop in intensity or volume. Many lifters have a “Deload hangover” where the week following the deload feels weak and shitty. Can be a sign your Deload was too steep and you detrained.

@majeikstagram Whoot whoot my man!

One step closer to a 500 lb. deadlift 💪

Aside from the lunacy of people believing that a man can actually become a woman……what’s more grotesque about this: (1) that he was allowed to compete in the first place by the organizers of the event? (2) how genuinely happy he appears after beating a bunch of girls in a strength sport? Fuck all the people that allow this shit to happen and tolerate because they’re too cowardly to just say “No.”

@bryk_squuaadd What are your top 3 upper back builders?

Your upper back is the foundation of EVERY main lift. 
If it’s weak, your squat, bench, and deadlift will ALWAYS leak power. I see so many lifters look at upper back work as just “accessory work” and don’t take it seriously enough. 
It’s way more important than that. It’s the infrastructure that holds your position under heavy weight. I personally train my upper back directly 3x per week. 
Not just for aesthetics, but because: ✅A strong upper back keeps your torso from collapsing in the squat
 ✅It gives you a stable base to press off in the bench
 ✅It allows you to control your shoulder blades and keeps the bar close to you in the deadlift
 ✅It supports and transfers force instead of LEAKING it
 If your upper back isn’t a strong foundation, the weight owns you. 
But when you build it intentionally.. every lift will get SIGNIFICANTLY stronger.

Dear Michelle Obama. Let me school your miserable muthafuckin ass since you can’t seem to remember how blessed you are. You are married to the first Black president in American history. You are the first Black First Lady in American history. Because of that, you and Barack left the White House richer than when yall slithered into it. Because of that, your Black ass got a multi-million-dollar book deal. Because of that, you and your FAKE ASS HUSBAND walked away with a $60 million Netflix deal. Because of that, yall own mansions. Because of that, yall own beachfront property. Because of that, yalls kids and grandkids are set for life. Because of ALL OF THAT, your family’s net worth is over $100 million. And yet you got the muthafuckin nerve to still get on stage whining like you picking cotton in 1855 instead of sipping champagne in Martha’s Vineyard. No Black American woman will ever be as privileged as you are bitch. So sit your ungrateful, race-hustling ass down and thank the country you spent 8 years shitting on. America gave you EVERYTHING. The least you could do is shut the fuck up and smile, ho.

@majeikstagram Those of us who live life, have fewer shits to give.

I appreciate the bros who never change their account name or profile picture.

Gym did an informal power-lifting meet yesterday. First time in any sort of 'competition' with barbells. Good experience.

In honor of Charlie Kirk, President Trump is ordering all American flags throughout the U.S. to be lowered to Half Mast.

@sam_gzstrength Not wrong. It's only 405. It isn't impressive. Oh but it is

The looks the dedicated recreational lifter gets at the gym when he is executing the 5 step deadlift set up and has a perfect Standard Pulling Position for 405 x 5

@elonmusk @grok what is the most realistic way to get America's national debt under control?

Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL

@majeikstagram You're officially a big-man. Or at least a bigGER man. :) Congrats!!

I no longer have visible abs. Let the reader understand.

@nickd_ssc @sam_gzstrength I'm in this camp. It was hell to get over 200lbs. It was hell to get to 225. Its been hell trying to get to 240 and I'm still weak AF. Lmao

@sam_gzstrength Dude. I think it’s the opposite. All I have to do is LESS of something I enjoy in order to lose weight. Skinny guys seriously hate eating or have serious physical discomfort. Much more impressive for a little dude to get huge.

I can understand fat guys having a hard time losing weight What I've never understood is how the skinny guys say "I can't gain weight" Like bro it's such an easy problem to have.

@Eric_Actual I read it and caught myself drooling. Then realized it was posted yesterday. Lmao nice try.

Every new lifter should absolutely do doing this every day. 100 push-ups 100 sit-ups 100 squats 6.2 run Performed daily There is no better workout routine for the new lifter than this and it’s not even close.

405lbs for triples last night. Also what does #ดิวอริสรา mean?

@Eric_Actual Lmao

@EtrnlStudent Went to a wedding in Kokomo maybe 25 years ago. Grooms whole family spills out of 2 mid 80s ford rangers that they dove from California. Wife looks at me and says, “I love you” and I don’t think she’s ever meant it more than that time.

No.
