265 in freedom units = 120kg. I don’t think I’ll be using the max out feature much. Gotta get busy building strength

I was more just curious as to what it would feed me as an off program max. To my surprise I still had 120KG in the bag. Makes me feel like I can pull out 125-130 in May at 82.5

isn’t off program maxing out when u can ask the app for it

Went out with the lady last night, had a few too many drinks.

Comp Bench
Barx5
95x3

190x2,2,2,2

Squat (2 sec pause)
Barx5
155x3
220x3
265x3
310x3,3,3

It’s cool how 315 is basically meme weight now on squats.

Standing Calve Raises
155x8
200x8
220x8
230x8,8

I’m switching my assistance focus to squats moving forward. My bench is poverty and I’ve come to terms with the terrible rate of gains increase on it. If I’m gonna hit a 1300 LB total it’s gonna be with squats and deadlifts.

Is squat ur best lift

I’d say deadlift is my best lift when you look at classification standards. My squat has always felt the easiest of the big three though.

@guineapig @idontbrag123. That 3 plate bench may be coming sooner than I though if I keep up with sessions like this. 240 felt solid with the long pauses.

Long pause is legit best variation for me. Half the time it feels so good I keep ramping weight up and hit comp bench PRs

Those lunges and glute hams yesterday demolished my posterior chain. My glutes haven’t been this sore in so long. The 355 sets felt surprisingly good though
