Yeah I’ve already done that and their numbers are above mines so I’m doing what you did and focus on improving. I give myself like 3 years to get where I want. Also in my country there arent as much competitions as in USA so it might be a bit more difficult

3rd week of 3rd cycle is starting good and Im loving it. Cant wait to hit squats tomorrow!
Today was one of the best atmospheres Ive seen at my gym, at least for a while. While I was squating a friend was hyping me so it was mad but then while deadlifting a stickleg-stupid-man assumed that getting between me and the mirror to do lunges with 6kg in each hand was a good idea. However this was the workout:
Squat
5x95kg
3x105kg
AMRAPx115kg I got 7 and maybe its not a lot of weight for other people but repping a weight that I had never thought of being able to squat is amazing
Deadlift
5x10 95kg
Abs wheel
5x10

You are doing fine. I started squatting 95lbs 7 months ago. And I hit a single of 275 last week. And that is after recovering from a slight hamstring tear…
Make sure your form is picture perfect and to depth and the weight will come. If it doesn’t don’t worry you are getting healthier and enjoying lifting. Do your thing.

I think technique and depth is on point but however I’ll try to film it to make sure and also post it. Thanks and keep grinding, you have improved a lot mate

Thanks mate! Yours are quite good too. Do you have in mind competing one day or something similar?
Definitely, as soon as I hit my first goal of 2/3/4 Im going to compete. I wont win but atleast with those numbers I wont completely embarass myself, especially with a goal of being under 165 lbs .After that I will be focusing on my life time goals of 405 bench, 550 squat and 700 deadlift. I will be competing after I hit those goals for one final time. I love the feeling of progress more than I like competing tbh.

I personally like both parts but I want to feel how is competing but with decent numbers as you said. As there arent a lot of competitions in my country I want to make sure that my numbers are high enough. However until the day comes, keep pushing and let gains come

Not a bad day today but not the greatest. It was the last day of school this term and thats good but gym related today was pressing day and my shoulders didnt feel like they normally do.
The gym was empty but another stupid man felt the same as the other days guy. It really got me mad because the gym was EMPTY like if there wasnt any space I’ll understand it but man please, show some respect and education. I also know that Im not the strongest man and that everybody should do what I want blablablah, its just the first rule: Dont get between the mirror and people while they are doing something.
Btw here is the workout:
Press
5x55kg
3x60kg
AMRAPx65kg and I got 6 reps again due to the shoulder pain
Bench press
5x10 60kg
Rows
5x10 30kg (I’ll increase the weight next cycle because it got easy)
Lat pulldown
3x10 50kg
Lateral raises ss front raises
3x10
Today assistence work was lighter to make sure that my shoulder feels better tomorrow

Had an amazing workout today with my friend. As it was early the gym was empty again but we were ready to deadlift and make some noise.
It was the last day of 3rd cycle and I can just say that Im feeling stronger, bigger and with more conficende than ever.
Deadlift
5x110kg
3x120kg
AMRAPx135kg and I got 7 reps
Squats
5x10 75kg

Hanging leg raises

Now that lifting is getting serious Im thinking of buying a foam roller but I wanted to know other opinions to make sure it can help me to avoid pain and injuries.
Todays work out feelings were good, the weight felt great, I got a new PR on bench but my elbows and shoulder arent as they should be. Elbows creak while pressing, it doesnt hurt but it is uncomfortable.
The training:
Bench
5x65kg
5x75kg
AMRAPx80kg and I got 10
Press
5x10 50kg (I increased it 5kg as it got easy)
Rows
5x10 32kg (a bigger dumbbell for the same reason)
Lat pull down ss preacher curl
3x10 50kg/ 20kg
