Most likely had 1 more, and possibly a grindy second. Mentally just stopped cause I just wanted to make sure I didn’t fail any rep because deadlifts have been inconsistent lately. Glad to have done this.

My lower back cramped really bad on the last rep here. I shouldn’t have pushed it but the meathead kicked in and I just kept pushing and fighting. It was dumb. And great. And campy. I actually thought I injured myself but thankfully walked away from that with no injuries.

Ok so my suspicions were right. Left side is noticeably weaker, which seems to be a weak point in my squat now. I guess I can’t get away with not doing accessories anymore. Looking back, I should have done these all along cause now I have a lot of catching up to do

Gah platform really limiting me on higher reps because the weight starts to bounce all around and then my foot gotta be on the non-wooden part if it shifts left or right

In terms of reaching 4/3/2/1, a 225 bench is the only thing left. I’m coming for it.
better start those daily push ups mate.
I started for a bit then lost my way
Since I’ve been starting developing tricep tendonitis, a friend who was a PT made a good point though. It’s definitely possible that the left arm is weaker than the right since I lack unilateral push work so the left triceps is getting overworked by trying to keep up with my right side, hence the tendonitis. I’ve started doing DB incline and DB overheads now. Still, won’t hurt to do some push ups at home

So out of curiosity, I actually tried to measure the angle of the incline. And to my horror, it was 20 degrees. But I’d like to think that that was the “correct” 30 degree angle that people say is actually more beneficial for the upper pecs without the deltoids taking over as how i see it on youtube videos. I’m so conflicted now LMAO
