I've been doing so much dead lifts that the skin on my palms is tearing off, so I guess I need gloves or something. Max was 135 kg but been doing volume at lower weights. I did not expect to be palm skin limited on this.

Try starting with the bar in your fingers, not your hands, and use straps to save your hands if your still losing skin until your grip strength catches up.

This helped me. Dead lift max now at 145 kg.

Of course I slipped on ice yesterday and injured my knee. Doctor said it's not broken or ligament torn that she could see, but still putting weight on it hurts. Have to brace myself with my hands to get up from a sitting position.

Oh well, gotta eat lots of christmas ham to make it better.

Forgot I saw this. Glad it helped and hope you're healing up quickly to set the number higher.

Isn't this the opposite of what I was talking about?

Weight lifting is so weird.

It's too late. You've already primed the pump and now your muscles are going to grow for months. Better start saving up for a new wardrobe.

Put it this way when you tell a girl you lift vs telling a girl you do karate.

The choice is pretty clear.

they won't care but some dude who overhears will not leave you alone?

Don't tell normal people how you got jacked. They don't care.

Also if they ask change the subject or just agree with their guess because it's not going to be a fun conversation 99% of the time

One guy wanted to know how I lost weight and if it was keto. When I told him I tracked my calories and chose satiating foods he dead rear end turned around and walked away without saying a word

Knew he had to save himself from an outburst that would land him in jail

This is a guy who wants to be friends with me really badly for some reason but the first time I met him he asked me what I thought about Elon buying Twitter and why it's good that Ben Shapiro won't be censored anymore. He is not a person who knows how to shut the duck up, so I think he was genuinely dumbfounded by the concept

That's much more entertaining than my version
