standing rollouts would be a sight to see. from the knees is tough enough for me. besides i think my arms are too short to do them from a standing position.
deads are looking strong Pale One. Will you be testing a max anytime soon??
thanks for the links my lightly colored cousin

Unfortunately, yesterday’s lift WAS a max. I’m working back towards 500. I want that to be as regular a thing as 455 is for me right now. I’m pretty sure that I can lift 455 any time under most conditions and I want to have 500 be the same.

Great work, Tony. And a heck of a lot of it.
How did the 385# squat feel?
The walkouts look…well…painful.
Great job!

Thanks Skip.
385 felt pretty good. Solid. I actually got a little scared beforehand. Weird, because I did 375 for three singles last time. It’s something about the number that messes with my head. Had to pretend to get aggressive with the bar in setup and it seemed to work out okay.
I really wanted 365 for a triple, but I could tell after the second one that it wasn’t going to happen.
The walkouts were okay, really. Challenging.
I didn’t note it, but these squats (380 385 365x2 and 340x4) are all PR’s at my current bodyweight. As is the 190 press.
Good stuff! Congratz on the PRs. When I saw the 190#er I wondered if it was a PR.
We really need to do something about your weight, though. I have a few dozen pounds I can spare…
Good work in here, DCA. Very solid work, indeed.

Thanks, Jack. Mebbe I’ll be as solid as you someday.

Im like you in squats. Ive got a certain number that messes with my head big time even when i have the strength to do it. I mean 10 lbs less then the magic number seems easy but when I hit the magic number my tail goes between my legs.
Weighlifting is 50% psychological. I read it, so it’s true. It is for me anyway. Great attitude, and great work, especially on the PRs.
Now go eat some food, will ya?

NAh Bro. I jus’ wanna get toned, y’know?
ahhh, tony, screw the bodyweight. spending any time worrying about that shit is a waste. just keep lifting heavy. that’s all that really matters anyway. The rest of us will just have to adapt to the fact that one of us has a physique, and the rest of us are fat.

Notes:
BP - felt a little stronger on BP today. Need more reps to make progress here I think.
Box Squat - 375 felt pretty easy. Up it 10 lbs next time
CS Rows - did 'em a little different today. Without my feet secured, I can’t do as much weight.
DB Incline bench - chest has lots of power, back of shoulder needs to be strengthened so it can be expressed.
That is a bunch of work.
It looks like more than…
I guess it was a lot of work.

Glad you can see that…and admit it. You do as much in 1 workout as I do in 2 or 3. It amazes me that you just keep ticking away.
