It takes a bit, but gets easier the more you do it. Happy to help.

Pin squat
275x3
(felt a weird tweaking in my back so stopped immediately)
Bench touch n go
205x8 @ 8
(I’ve been feeling a weird pulling in my chest; from google looks like it might be an intercostal pull. I’ve had it for a couple weeks but thought it would go away. I don’t know what it is, but I definitely made it worse on my last set)

Well this was not a very good workout. I’m not sure what to do about the chest thing
That sucks. definitely be careful.

Yessir I will be. Just talked to my dad about it on the phone (he’s a doctor). He said to take it easy for a week and take some anti-inflammatories. So that’s what I’m going to be doing

That looked like an 80% 1RM lift! Nice PR, 4 plates baby!

Thanks guys. Maybe my block was partially mental…
Regardless, I’m feeling more confident

Hey little rat
long time since I was around here.
Awesome PR’s that DL looked super easy.
I know it probably wasn’t but well done.
Bench too that 275, if you’d gone straight to 275 without the 265 I’m sure it would have gone up. Dang you’ve got strong.
I just read Mark’s reply on how to brace, I’m going to try it out.
How’s it working for you, obviously very well.
