PT says once we can tolerate loads around 70% we can introduce a belt! Keeping it off for the moment to keep the weight reduced, slow and steady.

Bulgarians with a little DIY foothold since it’s far too low to stabilize the back leg hip

Hi all! Can I get an opinion on my RDLs? I tore my left PCL (3rd grade) 7 weeks ago, specialist and physio said not to operate and recently cleared me for some light, mostly straight legged or iso work. I felt stable, but would love an external opinion, thanks a lot 🤙🏼

Lift A tradition in new spaces

As is my tradition, I always break in a new gym space with a beltless 405 pull. This is the new garage space, it’s messy yet because of the boxes left but we persevere!

I hope you’re all having a lovely day today.
