New "Deadheads"

SATURDAY 091219

Jim and I were unsuccessful in our search for the elusive "Henry" at the gym but were joined by three newcomers for some heavy deadlifts. Gabriel, Aldrich and Alex joined us and learned one of the best exercises for building strength in the gym...

Deadlifts 3-3-3-3-3


Jim definitely getting stronger. Working his way up to a 3 rep max of 355...


Gabriel trying to find those elusive upper and lower back muscles to lock them in and protect the spine for lifting heavier weights...


Alex thinking so hard about this move that he's bending his arms.


Aldrich has the back locked in perfectly, just need to get his hips (ass) up a little higher to bring his shoulders just a hair in front of his hands and over the bar more.

All-in-all, a good day of lifts from everyone. Hopefully they aren't too sore to keep working out next week...
