I often find this with deadlifts. A minimalist approach works pretty well, especially if you’re already hitting Squat hard.
Good work all round.

HELL YES!!!
With how close those numbers are to what you hit I have no doubt that if you posted videos of those lifts we could provide you with small technical tips to get those increases.
Also in regards to match pound for pound strength ratios sometimes (certainly with how small you are) a couple kg increase in body mass can change your leverages ever so slightly which you need to get used to.
This is where you went wrong… Everyone knows yelling " YEEEEEAAAAH BUUUUDY" or “LIGHT WEIGGGHHHHHT” adds 10 kg to all lifts MINIMUM!!!
But in all serious happy you got those good lifts!

There are two BIG no -nos at my school gym: not wearing shoes and video
that’s an American thing.
I should have gone Wa cao like Shi zhiyong, but I don’t do oly lifts and there was a non trivial number of Chinese ppl there
I really don’t understand how people struggle to eat 3k+ calories.
Yesterday I treated myself to 3k (usually stay around 1.9k) of mostly clean foods (had 4oz sourdough and 3oz cream cheese though).
Also got 8servings of veggies and totaled 80g fiber, 120g protein for the day.
I felt good going to bed yesterday and feel like I could eat the same amount today… I wish I could get away with eating more…
You can. The sourdough and cream cheese are clean too 
Congrats on the lifts.

Sourdough is the most anabolic of all the breads too!

It’s bread I can actually eat since the fermentation removed quite a bit of the gluten.
I actually made it myself using a probiotic pill, then making soda bread with the fermented stuff (the bacteria in probiotics doesn’t produce Co2 so you still have to use leavening)

This would absolutely be clean food as a result

Sorry, this statement makes me a little concerned. To me this reads as an implication arrow that your calories were restricted by parents/guardian-like figures.
Today’s workout:
5x(5 db manmakers+30m DB front rack carry/side-55lbs)
4x(20sec DB snatch/side-30lb DB+20sec rest)
4x(40sec db manmakers-25lb Dbs+20sec rest)
Pullups: random sets of some reps
- wanted to skip but the tea kicked in and felt good, really got HR up- probably should have gone for 10 rds but 5>0 so… next time…
Updates:
- Econ maths friend (the one with a gf) STILL thinks it’s a good idea to call at midnight even though I’ve told him that I don’t pick up the phone after 9pm. It’s not exactly annoying since my phone is silenced anyways but it comes off as creepy IMO. I’m hesitant to bring it up though because he might just do this to everyone and I could very well be the only one of his friends who sleeps before midnight on a regular basis ( a real possibility at my school). Anyways, I trust his GF will manage this
no there weren’t.
Your boundaries are yours and should be respected regardless of others not having them.
Eating 3k Calories after I’ve been cutting feels like heaven… It’s only a struggle when you constantly do it and your body is sick of digesting a lot of food. To be honest I think it’s less the calories (for me anyways) and more that eating a lot of certain foods causes minor intolerances which didnt exist before

Doesn’t sound like a good dude to me.

ahh okay, that makes sense.
yeah, he definitely gave off disingenuous vibes. I’m not in a relationship with him nor is my grade/future dependent on him, so I guess it doesn’t matter too much
Congrats! Hope you get your birthday deadlift goal. Can’t wait to hear about it.
