Wouldn’t it affect us differently since we vary greatly in height?
Probably.

Putting plates under the deadlifts are caller block pulls. It’s a deadlift variant that focuses on glute and hamstring activation
I believe a rack/block pull is geared toward back with a little butt and ham.
Putting the plate under feet would be more of a hamstring exercise.

For the first time in my lifting career, I'm gonna focus hypertrophy and body building.
I'm coming off of a powerlifting season break and I need to work back up to any heavy weights. Might as well try.

That and my toe slippers with my gallon water jug and towel on two different benches while I use a third.
Let's not forget posing down between sets and grunting on the positive side of the lift.

Really enjoyed my chest day today.
Hit 225 x 10 on flat bench and had at least a couple in the tank. Bumped up to 245 x 5 and finished at 265 x 4.
Incline dumbbell press, cable flies, and 50 lb weighted dips to wrap everything up.
Just started supplementing creatine for the first time ever. I'm 5 days into my loading and already feel like I'm seeing benefits (placebo??). May have just been a bad day, but Wed of last week I burned out at 225x8 on the bench, with a spotter. Today I bang out 10 easy with no spotter. Crazy. At this rate I should be throwing up 405 by April

I enrolled at snap for two months instead of my home gym for that reason.

Joining this thread. Been training for marathons but I missed the gym too much. Hate how weak I’ve gotten. Still running a lot but hitting the gym three times a week and eating like a bear before winter.
5’7 160 and wanting to improve physique (lose love handles which are seriously pronounced) while maintaining 40 miles a week running.
Running PPL (really it’s Pull/Legs/Push):
Pull:
Deadlifts 1x8, 2x5, 1x3, 1x1 (255 1 rep max)
Pull ups/Lat pull downs
Face pulls
Back hypers
Curls in the squat rack
Lateral shoulder raises (lightweight)
Legs:
Squat 5x5 (185 is heaviest I can do and can only do it one set)
Lunges
*Not doing much more than this due to running so much
Push:
Bench Press 5x5 (165 is heaviest weight for a set of 5)
Seated DB shoulder press 3x8 (40 pounds - need to go up on this)
Tricep pushdowns
I usually have about 40 minutes at the most to dress and to lift.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Add RDL in legs
Add some push ups in the end of push and maybe done DB lateral raises
Looks pretty good though.
Do you have a plan of progression?

No. I’m still getting a feel for what I can do while running. I’ve noticed squats are really limited but deadlifts are still progressing. I hit 185 on squats a few weeks ago and can still barely manage to get a set of 5 at that weight.
Bench press is similar but I’m still gaining some strength. Just not as fast as I’m used to.

I'm squatting on international chest day and curling on the dumbbell rack.

Groin has been bothering me.
Volume, 5x8, did step ups instead of squats to protect the groin.
3x8 weighted, feel elevated pushups. 2x8 DB paused bench. 3x5 close grip DB bench.
3x3 isometric deads and 2x8 glute ham back extensions.
Oh, got a new axle. So my bench work was all in supersets with axle rows.

Random strongman.
Worked up to 3 runs of 15-20 yards with 220 per hand in farmers walks.
Yoke walk with 475 for 3 short runs.
Conditioning, 3 sandbag to shoulder EMOM for 8 min.
Some gorilla grip and axle holds to finish.

Back day yesterday.
Deadlift getting better and better.
135 x 10 quite nice
185 x 8 not nice. So much work to get my form right again. My back was looking like a scared/pissed off cat. I was literally embarrassed
185 x 5 Slowed everything down. Reset after every lift and mentally went through every single cue one by one. So much better, but it's freaking taxing having to concentrate that hard haha.
Finished with 205 x 5. Hit 3 good reps but probably cheated a bit on the last 2 so I stopped. Still, getting better. I couldn't properly DL 225 once pre-surgery.

Maxed out on Squat and Bench this morning.
Squat: 300 lbs
Bench: 250 lbs
Age: 40
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 165 lbs
Personal records when I weighed 185 lbs are:
Squat: 315 lbs
Bench: 295 lbs
Slowly getting back up there at the lower body weight. Main focus is to look good naked. If I don't reach my PRs, not that big of a deal, but still pushing.

I started lifting a few weeks ago. I never really lifted before because I had no idea what I was doing. I was always athletic, played basketball, ran a couple 5ks, mountain biking and road cycling until I hurt my knee in 2013 (torn meniscus, possibly torn patellar tendon).
Went from 185-225 over the last six years because I couldn't have any pressure on my knee while it was bent. I couldn't even do 10 lbs on right leg extension a year ago. Anyway about a month ago it has started getting better so I figured now is the time to lose the weight and rebuild my quads.
I started doing 5x5s straight across and trying to increase weight or reps if I could until form breaks down.
1st workout (Feb 5th):
Barbell squat - 3 x 10 x 45 lbs and 1 x 6 x 45 lbs (had to bail out of the 6th rep on set 4 because my knee buckled)
Bench Press - 5 x 10 x 45 lbs
Barbell Bent Over Row - 5 x 10 x 20 lbs
Barbell Skullcrushers - 5 x 10 x 20 lbs
Hyperextensions - 2 x 10 (unweighted)
Declined crunches - 2 x 10 (unweighted)
Barbell Curl - 1 x 10 x 20 lbs, 4 x 10 x 30 lbs
Last workout (Feb 25th):
Squat:
5 x 135 lbs
5 x 135
5 x 135
5 x 135
2 x 145
5 x 135
Bench:
5 x 5 x 95 lbs (did an extra rep on last set
Bent Over Row:
5 x 75 lbs
5 x 85
5 x 95
5 x 100
6 x 95
Barbell Skullcrushers:
6 x 40 lbs
6 x 40
8 x 40
6 x 40
9 x 35
Hyperextensions (weighted):
10 x 35 lbs
8 x 35 lbs
Declined crunches (weighted):
26 x 35 lbs
16 x 35 lbs
I'm throwing in some other stuff too like lat pull downs and dumbbell lateral raises. Weighted to dumbbell curls temporarily because I was getting wrist pain from barbell curls even with ez bar.
I also started eating clean by doing meal prep and I'm down from 224 to 211 in the last 3 weeks despite putting on muscle. Gotta love noobie gains
Eta: 5'11", 37

Good progress, man. Good luck and keep at it.
It's like the old saying. The best time to start good health was years ago. The second best time is now.
Respect to anyone taking the bull by the horns in doing that.
