i just like to see where im at. i weigh myself ALOT. i basically do it to make sure im eating ehough. because i dont exactly count calories. i find that its a pretty good way to make sure ive eaten enough food of late. and i also find im stronger whenever i weigh a tiny bit more so thats why i put it with my workouts. its probly not the best way to do these things, but its my way.

Speed Squat

Pretty good workout. Deadlift form felt pretty good. Squats felt fast and really light. Cleans are starting to get hard as i up the weight cause i dunno what the hell im doing, i just dip a little then pull up as hard as i can and try to get underneath it any way i can lol. those romanian deadlifits suck so bad they kill with the pause.

i was doing grip work, i skipepd it last workout cause im so fitigued by the end of my workout i cant seem to improve at it. i dont think my grip is so bad it will hold me back. i just didnt think about it when i did my lift and didnt grab the bar as hard as i could. i could always use some chalk next time anyways

Too bad my gym doesn’t allow chalk (LOL I know I need a new gym)
What were you doing for the grip work?

Another crappy bench workout. im gonna drop to tripples to try to break through mmy plateu ive hit. and add a little extra work for my chest(incline bench) because i dont do to much for my chest. some reason i can never get my upper and lower body to improve at the same time.
