Not to change the Subject but

#1

Post by James » Tue Jan 14, 2020 6:48 am

Barbell Medicine's open forums are kind of dead, getting spam bots (they're going to look like RTS' in a year because no one cares) and I like lurking the discussion boards here more.

Started lifting a couple years ago because I weighed 650lbs and didn't know if I could get off the ground if I fell over. Lost 200~ lbs had a log on SS and one on BBM, don't know if I'll keep updating that one. Current lifting is bouncing from BBM's PB2 and Str3. I walk to 7/11 or Walmart and back every Wednesday and Saturday (2.5 miles). I gained 100lbs back and I've been spinning my wheels on weight loss for the last year or so for... reasons.

It's really hard to deadlift for more than 2-3 reps with leg drive. I know if I could get over the "reasons" and actually lose weight DL would go up fast because when I got down to 430lbs it was much easier to pull for reps from the floor and I was doing it for heavier. But again "reasons." Lack of willpower and random bouts of self loathing are only half of them.

Haha, didn't notice JFick has a log with basically the same title. Oops.

Couldn't edit the title yesterday because it thinks the post has contact info or something. Whatever doesn't really matter.

Welcome!

I think you should be able to edit the first post in your log and change the title? I've done it with mine a few times.

It worked today! Thanks. I think it's because I clicked preview first this time? Maybe. Or because I used my PC instead of tablet.

Laying the band over the bar then stepping on it is finicky. Don't think I'd pick these again until I could make hard points on the floor for two side bands.
