285 3x The motor pattern is feeling much, much better on squats. I feel very strong and able to get good activation from all the necessary muscles at the right time. Kind of a weird way to say it I guess, but anyhow my form feels great.

285 10x Was gonna drop down and keep doing volume, but I just felt like doing a big set for once. This felt pretty easy actually, and I’m certain it’s a beltless PR. I know it’s light, but I’ve come a tremendously long way with my beltless training; it’s feeling very strong.

Clean and Press: (There were no racks open so yes I actually powercleaned it. I felt like I was in a third world country or something.)

Squats looking good lately Chris!

I’ll bet when you get a belt on after all this beltless training you’ll hit a big ass PR.

Hitting some very solid weights man

Your form looks so much better.

I haven’t been able to read in a long time, due to work an school, but you made a ton of progress man.

Nice work.

600 will happen soon.

I’m hoping so. I can absolutely tell that I’ve improved my beltless strength, so if all goes well things will just feel rock solid once I go back to it.

265 4x I’m not sure why I put double the amount of normal bench volume for this day in my program, but that’s what was on there so that’s what I did lol.

A 300 set from today:

295? Either way. Owned it.

2.5’s inside the 25 and the 10 :slight_smile:
I put them on after 225 since I was going to do 280 and 300 and just added the rest on the outside of them.

Nice bench volume lately.

I was wondering if anybody would notice that hahaha!

Oh bless their hearts… There’s this ā€œbootcampā€ that comes in pretty regularly around the time that I’m lifting. A few soccer moms and weirdly weak dudes. They ā€œsquatā€ quite often, but it’s always insanely light weight and grotesquely high. They never make any progress whatsoever and yet they keep paying and keep coming back…

Those paused sets with 300 looked very scrumptious. When are you gonna hit a paused 350?
