Here is a shot I set up (had my brother click the shutter) and edited while hitting a personal record deadlift at the gym...

It was taken with my iPhone...I haven't really picked up my canon much since I got a smartphone....
Justin
That's all you can do? I curl that much!!! :p
Great job!!!
Now put down those weights and pick up that Canon!!!
Lol! I do wanna get my hands back on that canon.....
Really effective angle and processing.
(note to self- only complimentary comments and nothing that may offend Justin from here on)
Hahaha...relax! I am a gentle giant....
Cool composition and awesome to beat a personal best but you didn't tell us what the personal best was? Inquiring minds want to know... 245?
I like the comp and expression - congrats!
Great expression!! I also like the texture.
At the time, my personal best was 215, but since this photo, I have increased it to 5 sets of 5 reps at 240, with a final set of 250 to failure...
Also like the angle, how you've incorporated the ceiling. If I tried that I know my back wouldn't hold up!
I'm thinking you are not trying this any time soon but if you do, don't use your back!Quote:

Oh, and as an aside, I totally obliterated a personal goal to deadlift my body weight before my wife delivers our little girl...(due in July)... My final set on Wednesday's workout, I pulled 265 off the floor for four clean reps! 6 pounds heavier than my last weigh in!
Love it! The expression/moment captured, along with the gritty pp really works for this.
A BIG congrats on the personal bests that you have recently achieved here also Justin.
As HBG said love the gritty look. It works well here. And congrats on the accomplishment
Don't tell people that ... let em sweat ;)Quote:
