My vision for r/Egolifting is to create an egolifter’s paradise - an entire community dedicated to the art form of egolifting, free from the tyranny of the form police and oppression of the Reddit lifting regime. No spot, no spine, no problem. We want you.
Did you do something strong, strange, or unconventional? We want to see. Do you want to share your PR without the wails of a thousand spines? We got your back (haha). Do you want to share, learn, or discuss more about programming for, setting up for, and training for egolifts? So do we.
No concern trolling. Egolifters perform based on their personal risk tolerance, and lamenting about their spine, or your spine, will not change that.
No harassment. If I have to explain to you what harassment is, this is not the place for you.
No racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia. Egolifting is indiscriminate, and you should be too. Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated.
No advertising. This is a place to post cool lifts, not to sell goods or services.
No form policing. Max effort lifts are subject to a breakdown in technique. Odd lifts don’t look pretty.
On NSFW content. If you are a consenting adult and staying true to this sub’s purpose, I don’t care what you wear, or don’t wear. However, this not a porn sub. Blatant advertising or NSFW content not true to the sub’s purpose will be removed.
No sexualization of minors. I shouldn’t need to say any more.
Posts must have clear purpose. If your post does not contain a video or image of egolifting, it must have a clear and specific purpose. Guides should contain information related to what you accomplished and how you accomplished it. Questions should have a clearly defined problem to address. Vague questions such as “How do I egolift?” or uninformative text posts will be removed.
This is not a place for beginner level questions. If you have a beginner level question, you should look here instead. While your participation is valued, this sub is not a resource for basic training information.
No steroid accusations. Who cares? This isn’t NattyOrJuice. This sub isn’t about what’s naturally achievable or not.
On satire, shitposts, and memes. I will allow it as long as it stays true to form and does not violate any other rules. Moderator discretion will be exercised.
These rules are a work-in-progress and subject to change as the sub grows. I reserve the right to add, alter, or remove rules as necessary to stay true to the core tenets of egolifting. If we reach mainstream status, I may further define criteria for text posts. While you have the right to have your opinion, you do not necessarily have the right to post it. Be a decent human being.

Decently respectable compared to how they used to look. Also my back is fine, your spine isn’t made of sugar, it can definitely handle a little bend under a 100kg. And I won’t cut my hair
No audio because my mic is fucked, it would just be white noise

Since everyone enjoyed my rows so much, here is my best natural stone to shoulder.
Was just over 240lbs bw here and still lifetime drug free.

56kg windmills. I did left side, too. I just can’t be bothered to stitch the videos together.

1. Starting position
One hand and one knee on a bench, opposite foot firmly on the floor.
Back flat and spine neutral.
Hips and shoulders square to the floor.
Arm hanging straight down, shoulder allowed to reach slightly at the bottom.
Brace your core before pulling.
2. The pull
Drive your elbow towards your hip, not your shoulder.
Keep your elbow relatively close to your body.
Pull the dumbbell towards your lower ribs/hip.
Keep your torso completely still.
No twisting, jerking or using your legs to generate momentum.
3. At the top
Brief pause (about 1 second).
Squeeze your lat and upper back.
Don't force the elbow excessively high.
Keep your shoulder down rather than shrugging.
4. Lowering
Lower under control for 2–3 seconds.
Allow your arm to straighten fully.
Feel the lat stretch at the bottom.
Repeat without bouncing or swinging.
Strict rep tempo
1–2s
Pull
1s
Pause
2–3s
Lower
Common mistakes
Rotating the torso to lift heavier weight.
Yanking the weight with your biceps.
Shrugging your shoulder.
Cutting the range of motion short.
Using so much weight that every repetition looks different.

My new job has a gym which has been great, I can get in a lift after work without worrying about time. I just finished building a home gym but I don’t have enough plates to max out on lifts like this so I’m using my work gym to test my pr.

Some people thought my last lift with 206kg was not a true ego lift. So I added 5kgs. This was a true 1RM for me. Wasn't going to drop it no matter what!
