Lift properly and don't go too heavy, what's to fear

I prefer to do slower controlled deadlifts with less weight because back problems suck and I'm not a pro bodybuilder

Question.

Do diet sodas actually suck? I remember hearing that the artificial sweeteners don't really help and that it still adds fat the the body. Do you guys know?

Are those easier to lift? My friend does 3 plates on each side, and it makes me feel bad about myself, so I need a way to justify that.

Someone posted a vid a few pages ago about how to properly do it, but yeah. It helps you keep form better - it's much easier to keep those shoulders back when you don't have to reach in front of you.

I usually do hex bar deads.
3ish? weeks ago i did not.

Do not be me.
(Also just don't go too heavy, especially on barbells deads. :rip: my back)

I really got to invest in bluetooth earbuds. Playing music while deadlifting is impossible because I always think I'm gonna shatter my phone in my pocket when I come up with the bar.

Yeah Hemavol is feeling weaker than it used to. I picked up 8 bottles on sale for like 5 dollars a bottle but it's expired and a loving disgusting tangerine flavor. Anything for the pumps.

Just buy an armband, way cheaper. You'll want to take it off for some arm exercises.

DON'T try this your dick will end up flat and you'll have to wind it up like a fruit roll-up to keep it from dragging on the ground under your shorts.

Bought a Bluetooth pair of headphones from AliExpress and they would randomly turn themselves on when conversations would happen at home when I wasn't using them. They'd also die after I was certain that they had a full charge. Maybe that battery life was conserved so that the Chinese government can listen in to me?

Just be inconsiderate like me and blast your music out of your phone. I hate feeling cords on me when I'm sweaty and I don't want to gently caress with blue tooth earphones.

Playing Make them Suffer while I deadlift also sends the message that no I don't want you to work in with me. Usually have the gym to myself when I go but still.

It sounds like you need to use your twink charm and seduce your gym's strongest bear into guiding you towards the path of muscle with his big burly arms.
