Hell yeah Mort, nice work!
Multiple prs. Today is a good day!
Itās beginning to look like that weight gain wasnāt a complete waste of time!
Bloody well done mate, 2 PRās and some great lifting. Quality
Quality. Video please.
I thought the depth issues got sorted out a while ago?
Solid effort Mort, great work mate.
It wasnāt really but itās better. This was higher than wanted. Iām still trying to get to depth.
Heck yes Mort, well done!
Nice work mort. Is the squat depth a mobility issue?
Not really sure what it is. I just canāt do it rightā¦ Iāve tried all kind of things. Might go to a coach some day, Iāll try to video some of my warm up sets as well to see if itās an issue all the time or just to much weight
Iām not really sure if itās a weight issue because it flew up, and Iām no squat expert, but yea maybe record a warm up squat and really go for the depth and we can see.
I think with the max weight your changing your bracing and cues, maybe not sitting back as much as with lighter weight, or just not flexible. Wearing healed shoes for me is key for any sort of depth

Still working hard moving. Tomorrow is an off day for us, so Iāll try to max my DL.
If I fail miserably Iāll use the one I did just prior to christmas
@idontbrag123 Well it certainly didnāt feel flying But I somehow donāt really believe in my squat.
@I_Luc I think youāre right about the cues, I seem to forget them and just go survival mode, that might be the answer. I have some nice Risto WL shoes, I am not sure they help, but I like them.

Thatās it for today warmup + DL about 1 hour.
Rest were about 3 minutes between the last three attempts
Well as said I had high hopes reaching that illusive 4 plates today, but it didnāt happen.
From the first KB swing I kind of knew it, no snap.
DL were heavier than usual.
BUT did manage 140 kg double overhand.
155 kg felt OHH thatās heavy.
170 kg it went up. F*ck it Iāll go for gold
180 kg damn my body gave up, before my mind.
Lots of excuses but I would have made it had I been fresh.
Videos to come, Iām off to see some friends.
Had time, hereās the videos, will post in Hogs meet later
170 kg
180 kg fail
I think I know why I fail btwā¦ Itās youtube that wont allow me to hear Thunderstruck while lifting
Never missed a lift with that song in my ear.
Soon I think
Also Iām surprised songs havenāt got stale for you. Iām a young boi and plenty of songs have got stale in the gym I imagine youāve been listening to thunderstruck a while
I donāt know why you failed either because it looked like you had it! In my internet keyboard opinion, you gave up too soon. But I also know how a max deadlift feels and it always feels 100 times worse than it looks. I also know you know your body and dropping the weight instead of fighting and breaking something is a good call.
And you definitely have a 4 plate pull in you. I canāt believe you went for it after all of the moving youāve been doing lately. Try again in 7-10 days and youāll get it!
