@bcubed Dude, I feel you. My goal has been to do 1 pull up for the past year and a half. I had a male friend who’s always been entirely sedentary bust several out just to see if he could. I was so jealous 🥲 Those are great questions to ask yourself!! I have to remind myself to compare me to me...

@hmt This is helpful. Thank you for the encouragement :)

@dawn16 Good to know, thank you!!

@blessed53 Impressive work!! I also have arthritis (though not in my spine) and I know that it can make exercise more difficult. Lifting has helped with my condition a lot as well :) you look strong as hell and 11 pull ups??! absolutely insane!!

@rebekka97 I’ve never seen hook grip before! Thank you for the feedback. At what weight is it recommended to use straps?

@farmerdex Ok that is reassuring thank you!

@dawn16 Ah I see what you mean about the hips! That’s a helpful video (also wow hell of a beard). I will definitely keep that in mind next time thank you!!

@bond_servant Thank you! Sumo hurts my hips extremely badly. I think they’re pretty weak. Have you run into this problem?

@mam2011 I’ve never heard the term initial wedge before, but you’re definitely right it’s scrunched! And yes I do have pretty long legs I’ll look up tips for that. Thanks so much :)

@dawn16 I’ve been doing 5x5 so I was trying to pace myself each set, but it seems maybe I can go higher! That’s encouraging to hear about your squat progress. Thank you!

@christ148 I didn’t know that! I will look into deficits thank you

@thiena This is helpful thank you!

@kookarocha I’ve tried sumo, but it hurt my hips very very badly so I switched back. Might try it again after I strengthen my hips thanks!

I started lifting a month and a half ago so I’m still very new. I’m about 5’5 145lbs. My squat and my deadlift are both 120. I know usually you’re supposed to be able to lift more weight in deadlift than squat. I’ve been wanting to work work up to a plate for deadlift, but I can’t even lift it...
