Squat
150 x 1 went for a second and failed
100 x 3 backoff
That was it, my shirt was not grippy enough and bar kept moving around during warmups which put me off. Also was too weak.

Most likely an issue of how you set your upper back and positioned the bar than the shirt. The best cue I found is squeeze shoulderblades together before unracking and keep them squeezed. When the bar is out, then squeeze your lats. Instant shelf. Thank you Chad Aichs.

Quite happy with this. My birthday is on 12th of December so those stay until someone beats them and I to set new ones in the 18 group. Only one I would have liked is the Dead but Abel has insane leverages sort of a Cailer Woolham build and got 180 within like 2 months of training while it took me nearly 2 years. Ah well onto the 18ās.
Also @Benanything got the squat.

Iām still alive everyone thanks for asking. Been working in the gym 3 times this week and my dog is now pregnant so I have to look after her.

Was looking after my dog and her pups for quite a while and then piggybacked that with me not wanting to train to much.
Here is some pictures of them

All of the 8 pups went to be either therapy or assistance dogs. The last few in that photo above went to Hounds for heroes and a family with a girl with cerebral palsy. The last went on the 16th of June. Iām working in the gym doing 8-6 to cover my mum who is on holiday in France without me of course. If you want to look at more puppy pictures there are hundreds on this page.
I did some training yesterday and did 80 x 3 on bench and 30db x 7 on incline and some pull stuff. Today I did 60 x 3 on press and 160 x 3 on rack pulls with some arm stuff.
Not too bad as the only training Iāve done in 6 months is hauling all the shopping in one go.
