Nice dl PR, and liking the Klokov press love in here too!

Your squat form has improved as well, just great work all round.

thanks jab, you’ve been killing it as well. Squat form has come a long way.
also, Klokov press rules

6/20/2012
Bench press

107.5x2x4 note- the lack of speed and strength was likely due to loose glutes and legs, due to stiffness.

Bench press
100x3x4
105x2x4
115x1 paused
100x2x4 paused
105x2 paused -Need to do more pause work, thinking of changing routine to something like 5 paused singles, followed by 5 paused doubles, then 5 paused triples. next week will likely look like 110x1x5, 105x2x5, 100x3x5 all paused, increasing 2.5kg per week assistance will likely remain the same
