Nice workout! I'm just getting started using the bar myself. I'm taking baby steps with it because of all the technique involved. Yesterday I used it for shoulder exercise and on monday i used it on a bench. Working my way to the deadlifts.
Follow-up question: How did you learn to exercise with the bar? I notice you use it regularly. Did someone teach you or did you figure it out on your own? I find that I require for constant feedback on my technique now that I'm learning to use it for various exercises.
It's the only real iron weights what I have in my apartment and seems natural for me. I have my Bowflex Revolution, but I haven't used it in ages. Keeping proper form with posture and feet width is important, staying stable and not rocking for momentum is also key for quality reps. I honestly wouldn't say I have the best advice on how to work out with it, it's just second-nature to me like any dumbell.
That's interesting.
Then it might seem that some people just figure this out by themselves while others need more guidance. I've always had a hard time with physical exercises, posture and body control in general, and I feel that I just started to figure these things out (maybe a little before I turned 30).
It's a goal for me to have the space and the necessary equipment to work out at home as well at some point, but I gotta learn how to use the equipment first. Unfortunately this means I gotta go to a place where they have that equipment (and loud music), but on the other hand I'm well on the way.
Good input.
Nice work brother! 50 straight deadlifts is legit.
Thank you. It's still baby weight, but it adds up.
No way bro progress is progress!
Ok. now I am follow you...
