   @Twoinchdestroya @ChurnHinge @LordMordred I always liked bench because it WASN'T a full body workout & I could rest my legs lol. But I'll see about having someone show me how to do proper technique for squat & deadlift. I've watched tutorials but I'm more of an in-person learner

     @elftummy @ChurnHinge @LordMordred Simple trick, without shoes, do a bodyweight squat to full depth.

     1. Are your feet flat on the ground?
     2. Are your hips lower than your knees?
     3. Are your knees pointing inward or outward?

     @Twoinchdestroya @ChurnHinge @LordMordred I don't squat nor deadlift because I am worried about destroying my back. And if I did I'd only do low weight high rep. I'm kinda a one-trick pony with bench. I've been slowly working on it for the last six years or so. And like I said that's single rep PR.
     I haven't done any research into this stuff. My normal routine is getting to the gym and bike 5 miles. On "Leg day" I'll take a short rest and bike 5 more miles and then I'm done lol.
     On regular days I'll go to whatever machine is open and do 5x5x5 (5 sets of 5 reps with 5 sec hold).
     My gym mainly has smith machines and I can do 5x5x5 on each arm with 140lb no issue. 180lb with shoulders
     Hope that makes sense I'm not super knowledgeable on the terminology. I've got the money for a trainer but I always go to the gym at odd hours so it probably wouldn't work out

     @elftummy @ChurnHinge @LordMordred Aye, don’t sell yourself short like that, that’s nothing to scoff at.

     Squatting and Deadlifting aren’t inherently bad for your back, granted only if you perform the technique correctly. I’d still advise if you can implement them into your routine, squatting and deadlifting are practically a full body exercise.

     You can always do them with dumbbells, if you are hesitant to use the barbell, they’re better for full range of motion, and super heavy weights aren’t necessary to develop a physique.

     @ChurnHinge @LordMordred I can bench 330lb (150kg) but only once. One day I will be as strong as the grizzly here 💪

     @elftummy @ChurnHinge @LordMordred 150kg bench, that’s amazing, what are your numbers on the other big 3?
