For a six-and-a-half-foot-tall malnourished plant-eater with no upper face, I think I look pretty all right. Always room to improve. - #vegan #veganism #lifter #strength #workout #fitspo #fitfam #training #tall #talllifter #menwithlonghair #longhair #muscle #powerlifting #tanktop #garagegym #homegym #donthateme

A home gym is a nice thing to have. - #homegym #lifting #athome #fitness #strength #powerlifting #squats #deadlifts #benchpress #home

315# hack deadlift from 1/27. I look a little loosey-goosey because I'm still developing my cue set on it, but it felt fuckin badass. My main thought as I was putting it down was, "don't drop it on both Achilles tendons, that'd be bad n stuff." - I used to mess around with this lift before I was really strong at all and, surprisingly enough, I almost hurt myself on it. It's kinda silly to try these types of lifts when still a total novice on their "normal" versions or even slight variations of them. But with a 330 deficit DL and a far greater understanding of exercise rotation as I've developed my Paralinear style, I felt pretty good about coming back to it and I'm glad I did. Variety is good if you know why you're doing it. - #fitness #lifting #powerlifting #vegan #veganism #lifter #strength #workout #fitspo #fitfam #training #tall #talllifter #menwithlonghair #longhair #deadlift #hack #variations #conjugate #concurrent

285# high-bar at 6'5" 173 bodyweight, from a few weeks ago, which is a 20# all-time squat PR. I realize I went too low. Still, pulled it out. I haven't done a regular high-bar squat with any substantial weight in years (hence the pokey elbows), so I'm feeling like my Paralinear system really works in terms of the conjugate elements it incorporates. So that makes me happy too. * #fitness #lifting #powerlifting #vegan #veganism #lifter #strength #workout #fitspo #fitfam #training #tall #talllifter #menwithlonghair #longhair #sbdapparel #squat #legday #legs #maxeffortmethod #conjugate #concurrent

255# Sumo High-Bar SQ for a single at 173 lbs. 5-pound PR. I'd already done it once a few minutes earlier but thought maybe I'd squatted a little high and the camera died while filming, so....I did it again. - I admit it's a little bit of a shitshow. I come down too slow and don't bounce out of the bottom, which is the whole point. The bar tips a little to the left, hence the collar-landing. But my upper body didn't tip down, nor did my knees slide forward, and the weight went up. It was one of the hardest singles I've ever done. - Additionally, I suppose the wintry beauty distracted me because I wasn't supposed to max out on squats today. I was supposed to do a max deficit deadlift. Gee whiz. Guess I'll be doing this again next Monday. - #workout #training #powerlifting #strength #vegan #tall #tallathlete #talllifter #ectomorph #garagegym #homegym #squat #deadlift #benchpress #legday #maxeffort #conjugatemethod #paralinear #schiek #sbdapparel

The #hipthrusts are the only exercise I've ever gotten an injury on, so I stick to weighted #glutebridges at light weight, in this case 75# for 15 reps. See the band around my knees? I'm jamming my knees out hard and the difference is palpable. - I generally avoided glute training for a long time, feeling like it was unnecessary and not wanting to do hip thrusts. But since doing these twice a month, my squats feel stronger, like the five sets of seven I did the other day. What a surprise! It's like my ass got a systems update.
