What had you been doing peri-workout previously that wasn’t working so well? [/quote]
Whey shake pre-WO: 30g in whole milk
Water during
Solid meal after
I was seeing progress, but nothing compared to what I’m doing now.
slowly moving into Sumo DLs…365x9…fairly easy…growing to love the sumo variation…
495 pound Deadlift on Friday (longest grind of my life!!!)
305 pound Bench Press Today
I hit 51 bodyweight dips today
350 pound squat against doubled cinched light bands. It’s about 450-470 at the top.
235X3 close grip incline bench press
Why is this thread so dead, no new records?
Squats - 225x10, after two sets of five. I’m amazed how easy this was.
395X1 beltless low box squat
Feeling good, I bet I can smoke 455 with a belt and wraps on actual squats.
Deadlifted for the first time in a long time tonight. Managed 425 with no problem, and then stalled just below the knee with 445. Not a PR, really, but I haven’t pulled from the floor in a long while. Hoping to get back up to 495 fairly soon so I can start hitting real PR’s again.
Two from tonight’s session…
Bench - 170x5. I guess six would have been possible.
Front Squat - 175x8. Another two in the tank, I guess.
Bodyweight hovers between 165 and 170 at the moment, depending on the day. These are not impressive numbers but they make me happy.
Hit a 315 pound Bench Press yesterday. The rep felt pretty smooth without any major sticking points. Bench has had a steady state of progress the past couple of months. This summer I have reached my goal of a 5 plate Deadlift, 3 Plate Bench Press and a 205 OH Press. Need to get my 4 plate squat and 2 plate oh press. Squat technique has been all over the place so who knows when that will happen!!
Squats 430X1 15 pound PR
breathing squats 275X20
I tried knee wraps for the first time. They are pretty cool, but I need to learn how to wrap them properly.
close grip bench 265X3, 275X2 barely missed the third rep
bent over rows (275X6)X3
Soon…
Deadlifted 225kg for 2 sets of 4, which is a pretty big PR.
Incline dumbell bench: 95lbs x 6
Seated DB OHP: 6 x 75lbs
Pull ups: 7 x BW+45lbs (@184lbs BW)
These aren’t massive PRs, but I consider them such because I did them with pretty strict form.
kroc rows with straps 150X20
Second day back to low bar squatting after a year hiatus and already busting PRs!
LB squat: 345lbs x 7
Also, some random girl in the gym was hitting on me because she thought my squat was impressive. Or so she said. This is why you don’t skip leg day.
reverse light and mini band squat 465X5
Incline DB Bench: 100lbs x 5
My first time throwing up the 100s unassisted 
Paused Bench: 230lbs x 5
LB Squat: 365lbs x 4
