Calves are a pain in the arse. I'm always slightly lagging in the calves department.

You need to work on increasing flexability in your hip flexors/abductors and also put some focus on your hamstring and gluts. The initial pull from the floor is predominantly within your glutes and hamstrings in comparison to the rest of the lift. Don't worry about weight and start elevating yourself on a box and then do deadlifts from the ground but with your feed elevated. It will create more a stretch and help activate the posterior chain as well. Its referred to as a deficit deadlift. Deadlift is just as important as the squat.

Unless you have a severe disability to the spinal cord/lower lumbar or a birth defect that prevents the spine from maintaining a neutral position throughout the movement you should 100% be able to comfortably deadlift. Majority of the time when I deadlift I only worry about the first pull the from the ground then the reps that continue beyond that I control the negative portion of the movement for the extra tension and never allow the barbell to completely touch the ground. Just go halfway to your shine until your final rep. You don't need to move a lot of weight on the deadlift either if you emphasize the contractions throughout the lift and work the muscle not the movement. I generally don't go over 4 plates on each side for my deadlift.

Ha thanks for compliment, but it must just be the combination of horrible quality and angle that makes that. I sadly suffer from NLS (No Lat Syndrome) :( they just never grow
 
I am bad at remembering the name of lifts but I think it's like lateral pull overs. On your back starting arms fully extended and just pull your arms up without bending your elbows. Thus has been my favorite with all the spots it hits. I guess it is tied with upright rowes. In addition it increases flexibility of the rib cage
 
let me rephrase my intoxicated speech. I've seen worse :) Heh honestly I haven't been to the gym in a while. I'm just being a super bum lately. I'm thinking though if I kinda keep an overactive presence on this forum, read and comment wherever I may learn something or offer food for thought and this will eventually lead to the motivation to stop being such a potato.

Lol just realized if you zoom in you can see the scar from when I caught a stray .380 to my right peck when I was 17. I'd like to repost that other picture but I don't have photoshop for my face. Hmmm....maybe I can use microsft paint. I just scraped up my last bit of mxe pictures which means I will be liftng a lot now and posting progress pics=D

You should start your own little thread or blog or however people do it on this website to log your progression and possibly get feedback from others!

MSPaint works perfect. Just use the tool for creating shapes and make a white circle over your face.

P.S you should post a picture of your wheels. Gotta show the legs if you got them.

I took another badass shoulder/arm pic to but never received it8):p tomorrow....we shall try again I suppose
