2 things that really helped me personally:

1. Prioritize core lifts in your every workout
2. write your workout down in detail and try to beat it the next time, even by the smalles increments

It honestly wasn't meant as some kind of epeen or whatever, just a subjective information for Vibe and other people that really want to start lifting/bodybuilding

I started going to the gym like 9-10 years ago without ever doing deadlifts, squats and overhead/military press for many year


I just started doing deadlifts with proper technique like 2 years ago, benchpress, squats and overhead press even just like 1 year ago with proper technique.

That wasted time bro

That wasted time bro

Yeeees I know. Anyway, the past is the past.
Haha, and my gym buddy still makes "T-Bar benchpress" all the time, refuses to make squats and does leg press instead and deadlifts with 80 kg, because he is scared to hurt his lower back. I can't help him, he just does not listen to me 

[Torben]

T-Bar benchpress

whats that.


also fuck you guys,  I miss my gym. QQ

[WarLord]

No, he hasn't ever unjured in the gym at all, while I had several little and medium injuries. That's why it's kind of funny when he says he is scared to hurt his lower back or something. Also while doing a terribly bad T-Bar benchpress and always refusing to do it with proper technique because he would have to lower the weight 

[WarLord]

whats that.

Proper form:

It's hard to find a video where someone shows the wrong technique, but basically T-Bar Benchpress means your elbows are in a 90° angle and almost parallel to your shoulders, because it looks like your'e making a T from above.
Correct is a ~ 45 ° angle and your elbows way lower, about on the height of you upper abs or slightly below your nipples.

[Torben]

ah ya so it the press feels like fucking flys,  tbh i loved them for the burn 

[Ikarus]

great, now you guys made me start aswell

gotta make myself some plan now because last year I´ve sheeply been doing what my roommate was doing which was
- one day chest&biceps
- one day back&triceps
- one day legs
- optional bonus day with one of the upper three

sorta like that? Or what plans do you guys have? I don´t have a gym nearby, but we got a weight room in the dorm with some stuff

I prefer to do Back and biceps/Chest and triceps but yours works fine. Also don't forget to do shoulders.
