I forgot to post yesterdays #BTClift challenge. Week 8. At a BTC price of 109.8k USD I had to lift 110 kg (243 lbs). I hope the price does something in the next weeks. I don't want to post the same lift over and over. #fitness #lifting #challenge #fitstr #liftstr #gym #gymstr image

I love what you're doing bro. Pleased to meet you.
Definetly progress into it. If you've never lifted with a bent back and try to max out this lift, the risk of injury is too high. Start with just the bar and add 5 kg each week until it gets heavy. Keep a few reps in the tank in the first weeks. This way you can develop a feel for this movement and grow the supporting musculature. If it feels to light you can progress a bit faster, but please stay on the safe side. This is called the jefferson curl. You can either do it with a zercher hold (bar in the crook of the arm) like I'm doing here. Or you can grab with your hands, but then you need a box or something else to stand on.

Oh it's a lift! I thought it was just a stretch. Okay, thanks!
Well, it can be both. If you take your time and pause each rep at the bottom you get a nice active stretch. It helped a lot with my mobility.
It's look like stiff leg deadlift. your from still very impressive. strict and control in every rep. 😮👍🏼
Thank you. Yes, it's supposed to be a SLD, I'm trying to focus on my hamstrings. Your bench is very impressive too. A lot heavier than I can bench.
