Traveling for a meeting, found a gym with 2 Oly platforms and some bumper plates, but only had a few pairs of bumper 45’s, hence the odd jumps here.

Fellow member of the Pitt faculty asked if I would start lifting with him on lunch breaks; quite a strong fellow himself, as we went set for set in the workout you see above (he’s about my height, and a bit lighter than me, probably about 210-215, I would guess). We’ll probably get together for a once a week squatting session. I intend to continue doing most of my workouts at home, but it’ll be nice to have a partner for one workout a week, someone to push and challenge me.

Lifted at lunchtime with my pal on the faculty (he went lift for lift up to 455, then missed 495, so he took a few bonus reps at 405 after I was done). My back was feeling pretty tender so I didn’t push too hard, but had little difficulty with the reps at 495.

Back still felt tender so I went with some light front squats today rather than the usual deadlift. Hope this is sorted in the next few days.

Same deal as yesterday. Back a little tender, stuck with easy front squat doubles. May just roll with it for the week, since we are also going away for a few days to visit family.

Watch out guys, ActivitiesGuy is going to start selling scientifically backed booty plans soon.
I had a lot of catching up to do in here, but great work as always.
I’m also on the chase of the 700lb deadlift!
