So did Front squats today Aqua… just to try them out. After doing back squats as my main exercise I attempted front squats with just 95 lb… Im not even kidding when I say 95x10 was harder than doing 295x8 on the backsquat. Most humbling exercise I’ve encountered…Props[/quote]
Haha. I’m sure if you start doing front squats more often you’ll be out squatting me…again.

So much winning going on in here man, keep it up! Raining PR’s like a MOFO[/quote]
Thank ya thank ya. I most certainly will be continuing to do so!
Ha, I’m giving it some serious thought. Going to need to work on form though. Felt like I was leanin’ forward a bit too much, and rounding my lower back in the hole which is no good.

I only hope it means I can bench press more than 275 lol.
I feel you on close grip feeling better than regular bench sometimes…
When my bench is on, then it’s significantly stronger, but closegrip just feels natural. 275 is fucking good man, good job.
Now go curl 225.
Just found this log.
So much awesome in here! It literally smells like awesome.
A 275 CGBP is very impressive I wish I could regular bench that!
This is me subscribing

5x295
1x335 (decided to do this to see how hook gripping it would go, I shall keep using the hook grip)
3x265
3x260
3x255
Cut DLing short, lower back was feeling off.
Band leg curls supersetted w/ band GMs
A lot a lot a lot
EDIT: today’s pulling form didn’t feel quite right. In my future pulling sessions I really need to make it a point to get each rep right.
Decent day. Kinda annoyed that the lower back was off. Really need to get more pullin’ in. Always next week. In the grand scheme of things I’ve hit two PRs I’m very happy with this week, so no biggy
Truckin’ along I see. Personally, I hook grip all of my DL’s. People always complain about it hurting their thumbs. Mine get numb from time to time, but it’s not THAT bad IMO.

Very cool, I didn’t realize you hook grip. It hurts a bit, but I’m definitely getting used to it and am liking it a lot. Plus a mixed grip feels awkward.

Yeah dude a mixed grip totally throws me off. I think that I may have actually slightly strained a muscle in my upper back while MG’ing a while ago. But that was my own fault.
Good to see IF is treating you well! I’m finding it slightly awkward to fit in at the moment. Working weird shifts during summer so my meal timing is all over the place… I’m still managing to fit my calories in and stick to at least a 16 hour fasting period, this varies though as sometimes I only eat for 6 hours depending on what shifts I’m doing. Have noticed I am getting hella’ vascular though, my forearms feel pumped all the time as well. You noticed anything like that?

Certain days I have to make a concerted effort to ensure I get enough food in. I haven’t noticed any particular increase in vascularity, but I have noticed I look a bit ‘tighter’ in certain areas. But it’s just been about a week of IF for me. So I can’t really tell.
Edit:Aha just re read and your only using close grip as an Accessory.
Silly me.

Lots of band pull aparts staggered w/ pressing.
Had a short nap before starting. Felt sluggish b/c of that. Took longer to get warmed up and get into the session. After the 5/3/1 top set started to get into it. By the time I was incline pressing, I was really into it. Good session considering I was feeling rather unenthusiastic to begin.
Holy triples lol.
Nice pressing man! (jelly)
