Are you going to go as Batman?I still haven’t decided on a costume.
Looks like your bench is still moving up, nice work.
A 5-lb. PR in bench may seem like small potatoes to you, but to me that would be monumental! Great job.
Better get on it with the costume.

I apparently, as my wife bought it, will be a gay looking (it’s the hat) pirate. FML.
At least I’m a gay looking pirate with a hot wife.

Completely unrelated. My wife informed me last night that she is going to be some version of batwoman for the Halloween party we are going to. Tight black outfit, black boots, black wig (straight, bob…hot) and some funky face makeup. I am all a-tingle with anticipation.

Nothing but good can come from this.
Please tell me that you have an equally as appealing costume lined up.[/quote]
Yes. I am anticipating much goodness. I told her to prepare. She laughed…I’m not joking.
Please refer to gay pirate comment above. She laughs heartily when I put on the hat.
Gay pirate with a hot wife. Sounds like a win.
Pic will be expected, of course.
Cycle 4, week 3 Squat
PITFF = 8
Squats
255 x 5
285 x 3
325 x 2…crap. I did 315 x 6 last cycle so I was gunning for similar reps. I need to work on the turn around in the hole. My transition is too slow and I’m not exploding out
Front squats…i never felt comfortable with these so more or less avoid them. But following the “do what you hate” approach, I’m going to add them in. I’m getting better at getting the bar right into my throat so I don’t come forward.
135 x 5
155 x 5
175 x 3
185 x 3
195 x 3
Good mornings…torso parallel to floor
135 x 5
155 x 5
175 x 5
185 x 5
Shrugs…chalk only
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 8 drop to 315 x 8 to 225 x 5…low back had enough at this point
Superset of some machine bi and tri stuff.
I have about a pound of chicken cooking now. I do NOT want to reset my squat max so I’m going to focus on being explosive and getting more front squat & good morning reps in. Maybe sumo deads will help too.
Its hard to tell from just one session whether its an off day or a trend. I agree you should not reset at least until you are sure it was not just an off day. Besides, your squat will probably jump a few pounds just from dressing like a gay pirate.
Good work in here.
On the squats, you made your reps so call it good. Some Week 3s just don’t go as planned.
I am very much looking forward to the gay pirate pictures.
x2!

yeah if I was you I wouldnt reset your squat max yet. Id give it another cycle and go from there. Thats my 2 cents for whats it worth.

It wasn’t intended to be gay but the hat has a bit of flair to it. Party was last night. There were some folks that put a LOT of work into their costumes. I’m going to have to step it up next year.
Git you look more like a pirate (non-ghey) in real life
and pretty wife and rascals too. look at all the blonde hair and blue eyes…

I used to have a goatee but it started coming in grey and made me look old(er). It also made me look a little meaner. I’ll definitely grow it back as my daughter gets older.
Thanks for sharing the family pic! I think that’s the first time I’ve seen your face.
