Meh your light stuff is still heavier than my heavy stuff. Not a fan of weekly heavy deadlifts tho.
It’s good to see you alive after deadlifts this time. Joking of course, great job. Conventional style?

Legs still cramping on the presses? Also looks like you’re closing in on a 2 plate push press. Soon muh dawg!

Legs cramp pretty much every time I do my top set. And I have hit a 2 plate push press a few months back.

Front squats felt kinda weird since I have not done them that consistently recently. Felt like I was gonna drop the bar, not bad tho. Just felt awkward in the bottom and out of the hole. Lunges stretched my toes like no other? Goblets gave me the biggest quad pump of my life, uncomfortable. Suitcase were too light, but trying to get used to them again.
When you FS you look really well off tbh compared to some people. It may look like you’re about to drop it, but trust me, you can hold a lot more than you think, especially when it’s balls out max FS. Also, 10 breaths on paused fronts? I’m pretty sure that’s more than enough to make you pass out lol.

Ten breaths was horrid, and these always feel worse than they look. Its how it always feels.
Breathing paused squats, love and hate them! Good job on 185s, I’ve never tried more than 175 yet and it was the hardest ~40 seconds in that month…

Best bench has felt in a while, tried to get a nice arch and push into my upper back more. Worked well, didnt have much of a problem with keeping tight and retracted. Goood day. Deadlift party tomorrow for charity.
So we had the deadlift event for charity, had a bunch of money raised. Didnt plan on pulling, but was told I was going to pull. So pretty much did like no dynamic warm up, and started working up. Pulled all these in cargo shorts, socks, and not my belt.
135x8
225x5
275x3
belt on
315x2
405x1, super easy
455x1, fastest 455 has gone for me, solid pull overall, didnt lose position much at all, and was fast throughout
475x1, 10 lb PR, this felt like it completely rounded me over, slow lift but locked it out solidly, slight back tweak on it again, nothing major
So pulled a PR without knowing I was pulling until like 20m before. Good event, raised money for a good cause and pulled a new 1rm. Ill take it, ugly but ill take it.
Edit: Realized this was my first double bodyweight deadlift. Got excited about reaching that goal, weighed 232 that morning. Good day for sure!

Fatigued today from a PR deadlift, so everything felt like shit. Squatting was off, pulls were heavy, back feels tired but not painful. Booty was rising first today squatting. Wraps felt decent, but they werent that tight, didnt give me a whole lot. Reverse hypers and GHR should bring my posterior up to snuff to deadlift more. I am better built to pull, so I need to get that out of the shitter and get better at not jacking myself up doing it. Might do some trunk stuff later, havent decided yet.
Deadlifts PR’s are always the fuckin best. I wanna see a vid of it dogglestein!

Cant guarentee any of the powerlifts from DBB, more focused training and less distraction. And on a side note, I will be in NC for almost a week the first week in May. Could totally train. Your call.
I’d be down, where you gonna be at?
