Dips

bw 90x10 the chain on the belt I using was too short, so I switched
bw 135x5 this belt sucked way too pliant, so I went back to the previous belt and just added another chain
bw 180x2 45lb PR pretty damn stoked; should be doing those proper in under a year
Shrugs
these were continuous sets were I would complete 10 reps standing tall, then lean forward for 10, and then again for a final 10
225x10-10-10
315x10-10-5 grip was starting to slip and my lower back was tight and hurting since the walk to the gym
Pullups
20,12,10 would’ve done more but my back was getting to me
I think a massage’ll do the trick.
I feel like doing more upper body today.

I think I’ve been benching narrow for a tad too long. Time to start experimenting with some wider grips.
It’s okay you can hate
First time I’ve checked out this log. Yet another extremely young guy already years ahead of me in progress (im 20). Frustrating maybe, but mostly just motivating as hell. That sort of squatting level is especially rare to see. I’ll also be following/trying to learn.

Yes, next Saturday
I have what I would like for the meet planned out. The squats will go 455, 485, 515. For bench, I think I’ll open with an even 300, then I’ll probably go with 320 and then finsh either 340 or 345 though 350 would be great if I think I have that in me. On deadlifts, I’ll open with either 490 or 495 and jump to 520 and then either 540 or 550 depending on what I have left by that point. Shooting for a 1400 total.
1400 raw at your age… damn. Good luck with the meet man sure you’ll kill it just fine. Re my goals… a long way off… ~30lbs off any sort of goal bodyweight (197~ now)… I’m training hypertrophy not strength but of course the sooner I can get in the 400~ region for squats, mid-5s for deadlifting and close to 300 benching… the better for sure (proper total not tested but would be <1100lb at the moment)

You’ll get there dude. I feel getting stronger (really strong) everywhere is the key to getting really big provided the food intake stacks up.
I been running it through my head and I figure the problem with my dead is my setup. My knees are too far forward and I don’t drive through my heels enough so it throws off bar path making the lift harder than it should be. I need to watch for that from now on.
SEVENTEEN!? Damn maine. damn.
Well, you are velly velly strong!
