No way I would have pulled off this deadlift unless the form was perfect. Form is very important with compound lifts.

When I first started lifting weights I struggled to hit 135 on squats for 10 reps. Yes, I was that much of a chicken shit. I weighed 205 and I was pretty lean because I had been riding the exercise bike for 2-1/2 hours a day 5 days a week and doing keto for like a year prior to that. Now, after 2 years of dedicated training 4 days a week, I can now squat 540. That’s an official number at a meet. So thing is…fitness is a journey. My goal is to be squatting 600 by November. We will see. Getting there is half the fun! Enjoy the process!

Every man needs to be able to work on their cars at a basic level minimum. Basic includes oil, filters, plugs, wires, brakes, rotors, fluids, etc. Also, get a computer for your vehicle and scan your codes. O2 sensors aren’t hard. Alternators aren’t too bad. Changing belts and such is easier than you think. Head gaskets are doable. The most important part of working on your cars (just like working on your firearms) is it forces you to have a closer relationship with your vehicle. Starters aren’t too bad. Replacing an ignition switch is doable. (If you get stuck there’s a MILLION YT videos) I know this sounds crazy, but the truth is most people just get in their cars and drive and don’t pay attention to what their vehicle is doing. Sounds it’s making. The way it’s acting, etc. Cooked brake rotors will generally make your steering wheel shake side to side when you brake. Your vehicle may also pull to one side or the other when you brake hard. These are signs of a cooked brake system. Car shops charge an ass ton of labor. I used to work at my parent’s car shop during the summer when I was still in school. Most parts are marked up at least 80-100 percent. Labor is roughly whatever the cost of parts is depending on the job. A full brake pad/rotor replacement on a heavy duty truck for instance with labor can EASILY cost $2000. If you do it yourself, you can save a grand. Maybe more. It’s important to grow your tool collection too. Every little job that comes along might need a special tool. I had to buy a breaker bar today for instance. That’s a super handy tool that now I can use for other jobs. I also identified some sockets I needed to purchase deep well versions of. These little gremlins appear. Working on your own stuff forces you to solve problems, think outside the box, and grow your collection of tools, experiences, and know how. 👌🏻
