Bulldog: Working on regaining man card

How weak are we talking relative?

Most recent was 130 x 6. It’s building. Slowly. But it’s relatively weak for my body weight.

To be fair, I’m not exactly killing it strength wise in any of my lifts. But they are getting better. I’ve seen improvement on all in the 2 full cycles of 5/3/1 that I have completed. Just have to be patient. Not always my greatest quality.

Yep if you see progressing you’re golden . The numbers will come in time.

Hell even Andy Baker has more or less said squat in a fashion that suits you the best… hell he wrote a book with him.

Classic

SS yoke bar: 50%x5

60% x 5

70% x 5…. Things felt blah hips felt gummed up.

Pendlay lunge squat: 3 x 10 using 50% of working weight

Reverse hypers: 4 x 10 @ 25% projected squat max

Since its the Holiday still… Plan on doing some proper post lifting nutrition.

Looks like ill need to reschedule my session today. In the process of warming up the garage i ran out of LP.

Currently its stuck at 30 F and I dont have time to get more LP and bring the temp up then lift and make it to a appointment.

I despise the cold ,anything below 40F in there and I tend to say … not today.

Ehh… not worried about it. I dont take this stuff too seriously. It has no direct impact on me in real life.

Wasnt aware we still had a PM function. Thought that was done away years ago on here.
