Nice! Ink is sooooo addictive. They’re playing with the idea of changing our tattoo policy. That would mean they wouldn’t have to be covered anymore. If that happens then I’ll be tempted to finish off my left arm.

Nice gains mayne. I’m trying to go the other way atm, trying to get under 200lbs again, I’m on that winter weight time rn. It’s really difficult this year, everyone keeps inviting me out to things that have a ton of good food. At least I’ve gotten stronger in pretty much every lift I do. Keep after it bro, later.

Chad Aichs lower back stretch, SuperD shoulder stabilisation thing, five wide overhand pullups, hand release pushups
Left armpit was fine with the pullups, so win. Probably could have done a couple more but left it there.
Bench press
2x5xbar
5xplate
3x198 lbs
4x1x242 lbs - no wrist wraps because I figured I should minimise rubbing on the tattoo. Fuck but they make a difference
2x242 lbs - wraps on, fuck doing that without
6x242 lbs - AFSAP set and got it in one. Thought the last rep was ugly AF but turns out it just wasn’t super cute.
CGBP to a two board
2x6x209 lbs
Dips
2x12 - ok, so they were OK. Both sets didn’t need to rest pause. Rested longer than usual between sets though, so that will have helped.
Lat pulldown
4x10x143 lbs
Front plate raises
2x15x33 lbs
Band facepulls
2x15 with light band
All up an hour and 20 minutes

Meant to ask for a long time: What does this look like? A quick google search showed nothing
Woke at 248.7 lbs, looking a bit more bloated after a truly shit night of sleep.
@Koestrizer it’s in one of his Elite FTS articles, it came out a couple of years ago.
Woke at 248.7 lbs again, looking similar to yesterday. Stomach looks full, which is unsurprising given dinner and pre bed snack yesterday.
Todays training
McGill big three and reverse hyper
DL, DL bar (it’s close enough to peak I feel justified in using it now)
2x5xbar
3xplate/154 lbs
2x2 plates/242 lbs
1x3 plates/330 lbs
5x1x396 lbs - belt on and mixed grip
5x396 lbs
Everything at 396 lbs with 10 second rests. Didn’t feel as disgusting as I expected, but grip was kind of off from drilling and holding pieces of cabinet together.
Deficit DL off barely 2 inches
2x5x396 lbs
Weighted 45 degree back raises
5x10x44 lbs - these fucking sucked
Hamstring curls
3x10x66 lbs
Bent over DB rows
4x12x44 lbs
All up and hour and 20 minutes, pace was lagging early but picked up
