Nah.

You just caught me in a bad mood. ;-)

Sorry about that!

Now that I've had some sleep, I'm all better.....

So, how much can you deadlift?

Right this moment I'm off-cycle, but I'm doing trap shrugs with around 400.
I feel like I'm good for a bit more.

Cool!
I've not been doing shrugs yet. It's amazing how much you can move with
that particular lift...

I used to be able to deadlift 210. Not bad for a woman!

I'm not back there quite yet but I'm working on it...

Any secrets to getting a better weight on an incline press?
I feel like such a wimp!

Trashed my legs this morning with Hack squats........

Hurts so good!

I've not tried that move.

I'm not doing stiff legged DL's, I like the additional legwork by doing
a squatting DL. I've not tried yet for a 1 lift max, but I'll let you
know. ;-)

Just started doing T-bar rows again for upper back.
Sooooo much more satisfying than cable work!

I love free weights.

First of all, never let your ego tell you how much to lift.

As far as lifting more weight goes, I prefer a healthy dose of patience and
wave loading.

The move is a deadlift move, but where the bar is pulled from knee height,
suspended on blocks or pins in a power rack.

What you do is get a cycling computer for the bike. It will tell you how far
you rode as well as your total riding time. If you stop for a rest, the
computer also stops and picks up again when you start pedaling. You can then
work to ride for longer times, or farther distances, or even higher average
speeds. Even a computer costing $25 or less will tell you all of these
things. You can get an idea of how many calories burned from how long you
rode. And, the bonus is, when you get tired, you can coast!

Less weight, better form.
No sloppy reps for this chika!

I try to toss a minimum of 5 more lbs. on the bar with each set,
but I limit that depending on how it feels.

I played around with chest this morning and found that, if I warmed up
with dumbells first, I could throw a little more weight on the bar.

If I cannot do at least 8 reps minimum per set with decent form, I lower
the weight.

My deadlift for 8 reps suddenly went up by 40 lbs. this morning! Yay!

Musta been the Red Bull......

Oh! I see.

I always lift it from the floor... but there is a rack available.

What is the point of doing that?

Asking out of real curiosity! I'm not familiar with doing a partial like
that and the purpose behind it?

You should have googled waved loading through mfw.

But anyway, wave loading is where you load a little more weight on the bar
every time you lift, until you can't lift it anymore. This might be spread
out over a few months or more. Then... you drop enough weight off so that
the exercise is easy and start all over again. The idea is that you'll have
a higher peak load than the last cycle.

It's very useful in strengthening your lockout power. Also, It can really
toughen up your hands and possibly the rest of your upper body. Another
thing is that if you are lifting enough weight in the lockouts, you'll get
pschologically used to really heavy weights and then when you do regular
deads they'll seem a little lighter. YMMV
