Outstanding dude! On all accounts. As a poli-sci guy, I gotta admire that score. But also, of course, Half-orc barbarian. As you know on a personal level: strength is it’s OWN magic, haha.

@freshyfresh They’re definitely a fun lift. And since I’m not using deadlifts as a primary movement at the moment they let me still have some sort of floor-pull in the rotation. Looking forward to reading about your comp btw :]

100% on a philosophy test, 100% on a polisci midterm, and it turns out the 95.5 from last week was graded wrong as was actually a 98.
This felt heavier than it should’ve given I did 365x6 last cycle, but we’ll get back in the swing of things soon enough

@boilerman: I finally get the gif in my log! And yeah, I agree on how it moved. Hopefully I’m able to push that to 425+ before too long

Top set felt easier than I would’ve expected. Focus more on slow eccentrics/pausing my chins at the expense of reps, and pumped the fuck out of my lats/arms.

UA decided to gut this gym (no power racks/benches until the 28th) and close the other one (also until the 28th) with very little notice so scheduling is going to get weird. Most likely:
Thur - Off
Fri - Off
Sat - Modified Pull
Sun - Squat (Equipment back to normal)
Mon - Bench
Tue - Legs
Wed - Press
Thursday & Onward - Normal

Damn man you smoke me on the press nice work, I never could train it consistently theres something about it I absolutely hate but still not sure what it is lol

Thanks man. It’s always been my best lift, not really sure why. At one point I had a 200-pound standing press and like a 230 bench lol

Leverages, genetics, training frequency, could be a mix of everything for sure
Close grip, wide grip, suicide grip etc. nothing ever changes on the shoulder press for me personally and therefore I am going to make the excuse it is leverages and not my lack of frequency
