Started with highbar squat 405x10 then paused bench to 315x2 and 340x2. Also pressed the 120dbs with 10lb dbs on top for 9

This sounds delightfully sketchy
They stick in there pretty good. I’ll be changing gyms to one with up to 150s so I should be good for a little longer.

Been a rough few days. Started to lift at one gym Saturday only to find out they are closing early since they weren’t fully open yet and had something going on. Sunday I started to do the same workout only to find out I miss read a text and needed to leave to fix my girls car. Monday I got out of work so late the gyms were closed. Today I went in early again and had a rush order pop up that I had to get done. Now I’m beat as shit and about to go try to squat a double that’ll tie my best ever at 550…f me.

Before this last year, I used to “display” my strength lifting. This last year I put about 7-8 lbs of muscle on and on my opinion did not get a good peak. I think I need to go back into that old mode and see what happens. I have been highbar squatting almost every day and the last 3 days didn’t get a chance for one reason or another and my low bar felt strong when I started warming up. Hit my 550 for a double and almost felt like a triple could’ve been in the cards.

550 double on squat and dumbbell pressing 120s with the 20s on top. New gym has up to 150s so I should be good for a bit. I did ask the guy before the set if he knew what I wanted him to do he said yea…He did not.

Yer what the fk was up with that spotter. Looked like he was going to try and balance the dumbells on the wrong way. Did he think you were going to balance them 
Lol idk but then he took one off cause he thought it was about to fall.
Forgot my headphones but ended up being a decent day anyway. Benched up to a triple at 345. Tossed the Slingshot on for 385x3 and 405x2. Highbar squatted 405x11, Db press to 120s plus 22.5s on top. Different kid messed it up a bit so I didn’t end up counting the reps. Like 4-5. Then some Weighted Pullups with 25lbs x8, 50lbs x8, and 75lbs x9. Felt pretty strong today. And actually yesterday I got reverse band squat up to 595 for a single. Took 60 lbs off in the home and then a highbar back down with 365x13. And still pulled a smooth 585x2 conventional. I will continue to push my conventional. Think I could’ve hit a triple and I was pretty tired from the squats.
Really leaning towards I didn’t have the best peak and enough time under heavy weight. Still figuring out what the groin wants to do on sumo pulls.

Mate you need to type up a process with pictures and make them sign off on it before you start. How hard is it…!

Just wanna see how many people are following here, I’m shooting for a 560 double on squat today. If I hit it that’ll be a 10lb pr double for me. I’m debating jumping into a comp but just toss a like on this comment if you wanna see me do another comp to try for a conservative but better total than my wrapped 1692 from years ago.

Bit of a let down when I went for the 560 double. Hit the first rep good second one I say back a little too much and correcting it the bar rolled forward and missed the second rep. Also not sure if it made a difference but I had a chiropractor app right before lifting and this time around he actually stretched my hamstrings. Normally be just his my back. I’ll toss the video up in a day or two. Good news is my conventional is going up nicely. Pulled 615x2 which matches my best and if I wanted it I could’ve hit a third. I might hammer conventional more while I take sumo lighter (less than 700) thanks for the comments guys. Glad to see some are still following. Had I hit this squat double I would’ve really considered jumping into a meet. This one’s gonna keep me up at night tonight.
- 615 double was on a stiff gym bar as well. Last time was on my deadlift bar.

I was talking about this on the confession thread last month.
The 2 strongest guys I know of on the forum (you being one of them) have the quietest logs. Which is odd. For a strength forum anyway. The only logical reason I can see, is people are intimidated by you. Or better put feel like they have 0 to input. I’m fairly strong but you’re a large step up from fairly strong. In fact you’re probably the strongest powerlifter with a log. What has anyone really got to add?
And it feels a “fan boy” to just posting well done or wow after your training videos.
For what it’s worth thought, I like seeing your posts and following your progress. As someone else that’s trying to get strong drug free it’s nice to see what is possible. Although I think (in a nice way) you are a freak. And hard work and diet won’t get me to where you are. But I guess some guysxare born with a touch more potential.
