Deadlifts
5-5-5

135-145-150

Had to do this at 24hr fitness. While I was there, a guy a little bit older than me and carrying 15-20 extra pounds with no muscle definition was doing back squats next to me. He did not have the bar (w/ the pad) low enough on his back so he was leaning forward and balancing on the balls of his foot. For a second I thought, maybe I should say something a correct his form. But decided to mind my own business. A few minutes later, he comes over to me and tells me if I don't bend at the knees more when putting the weight down, I will hurt my back. I said I do when the bar comes to about my knees. He told me no, I should do it sooner. (similar to a curtesy) sooo I showed him what I meant by using my thumbs for the bar visual. He starts shaking his head saying 'I will hurt my back doing it that way'. I then said with a bitchy smile and pointed to his squat rack "you don't even know how to do a back squat" and turned around an grabbed my water...He went to the other side of gym to not be seen again. lol
