Stress has been really high last two weeks and training was less frequent. Had a major life event that decides my future this morning. Down to 161.5lbs in the morning too.

Already felt that the last rep on the 265 was shit so I was worried for the 295. Lost balance on the 4th rep and had to dump it. Was pissed at myself and didn’t want to be a bitch so went for another set because I know I’ve done this weight for 8 reps before. Anyway, training should get back to more or less normal for now, so just happy I didn’t get injured.

My triceps were cranky after the bench and I’m still tired, so I just didn’t push it further

Lost balance on the second rep. Good thing was able to save it. Then third was just shitty

Edit: holy crap I just saw the difference in how far forward my knees go from first rep compared to second rep. Huuuuge difference. I guess I gotta make that more consistent

I give up on doing BGSS with DB on both hands. I’ll use one DB on the contralateral side and then just use my other hand for balance. I’ll get more out of the exercise this way

Shitty form, but still proud to be able to lateral raise this weight for this many reps

So I gave my platform to a guy that does oly lifting. He’s says he’s 100 lbs heavier than me. He helped me unload the bar. He was puzzled when he saw the weights on the bar, said it was close to what he does. Made my day for sure.

Went off program for this one. Really wanted to take a stab at 365, but the 345 didn’t feel great. Felt slow and got stuck on sticking point compared to first time I tried 345. Good thing I was still able to grind it out. Then I knew 365 wasn’t there.

Sorry I’ve been under the radar. Still lifting. Just tough times.

Probably should have tried for a 5th rep.
