Solid pressing man. You’re making some nice strength gains in here. How’s the BW these days?[/quote]
Thanks man. I was happy with it. Weighed in today and I was sitting at like 187.5lbs. So the gains have slowed a little bit, but I haven’t been the best about eating over the past few days.

Lol. I have no idea what you mean by that. Have you stopped doing them or something?
I was joking man.
“Give them back” as in you stole my lift.

You son of a…wait a minute…I see what you did there. I have the same hope.
Had to make the before picture a little bigger to have them be the same size, but here’s a back progress picture I made while bored.
3 years (only 12-15 months of serious training and one back injury that set me back a lot) and 42lbs later…(145-187)
Holy shit dude, that’s some serious progress you’ve made with training a bit over a year seriously. It doesn’t even look like it could be you in both pics.
Awesome

Thanks man!
I didn’t really even squat until last summer, and even then the squats were high(way above depth) until the late fall/winter, then my back injury flared up again, and I could only front squat until marchish when i started using a PL belt.
Deads got up to 350ish before the injury (2009), then I didn’t break 315x3 again until March (also when I started using a PL belt).
Didn’t do barbell bench again until last summer.
In retrospect, I wasted a shitload of time avoiding the major compounds and not focusing on calorific intake lol. Oh well, while according to PX I may not be cut out for this ( years to hit 225+ bench and still sub 200), I’m still happy with the 60ish pounds I’ve gained since I’ve started.

I’m thinking the hair change is the fact that you can see my scalp due to this short haircut lol. I’m gonna hope I’m not balding already haha.

Hit my FS PRs to this song today:

done. Biceps were kinda sore (I think from holding position on leaning laterals, actually), so I didn’t hit them much. Back was nice and toasty.
Legit front squats… Do you feel like you’re getting choked out by FS’s? I think its my structure or whatever but when I have the bar rested in that little nitch in my delts it is RIGHT on my throat/adams apple… sucks going “heavy”
if you’re grip on the lean away laterals becomes an issue, you can always try them out on an adjustable incline bench. Just lay on it sideways and adjust the incline to the right “lean away” angle. Just a thought.
paused front squats sound brutal and perfect.
progress is awesomesauce.
