Enough with the lurking! I have been reading the logs of others here for some time now, and I have come to the conclusion that I had better start make my own contribution to the fantastic atmosphere in this place.
Note: all measurements in this log is metric (I am too lazy to figure out the lbs)
Vital stats:
Born 1975
Weight 91 kg
Best lifts:
Squat 177,5kg
Bench 132,5 kg (paused)
Deadlift 215 kg (conventional) 210 kg (sumo)
MP 85 kg
Just to get this rolling I will log yesterdays session. (reps * weight lifted/ set * reps @ weight lifted)
Tuesday 22. June
Benchpress
2020 kg
35 @ 50 kg
23 @ 70 kg
23 @ 90 kg
2*2 @ 105 kg
(benchpress is in deload mode)
Squat
2*140 kg (no belt)
Positively surprised… I am not supposed to be in PR shape in the squat, but I found at solid groove and jusst went with it. It was rather heavy but not all-out, there might be 5-10 kg more in the tank…
Welcome to the ‘Where the hell is my Ben-Gay and Advil’ group. Nice lifting.

Thanks!
Todays activity
2*15k bike-ride to and from work. (last leg still not done)my feet are killing me, I used my bikeshoes for the first time in 8 month.
Here is a 3 month old deadlift video
The following week I pulled 4*195kg. Narrowly missing the fifth rep as I hooked my hand in my pants.
Dammit, another thread I have to do metric conversions in! You damned Canadians! Finland is just outside of Alberta, right? 
When I do the math it looks like some pretty nice lifting!
No kidding, very nice numbers! You’re a welcome addition to the gang. I just recommend staying away from Meat’s thread for a while…they have some issues to work through there.
since you are new, you must do 5/3/1 from now on. or we will kill and eat you. this is a very strict forum

x2. Doing the math in my head is bad enough. Then I noticed there were commas where periods are supposed to be! Thank God for ibuprofen…
Welcome aboard! As has been said, good looking lifts.
Finland is one of the countries I have always wanted to visit. Since I have to cross a few borders, not to mention the ocean, though, it might be a while.
Strong Lifts! Glad to add another!

You are absolutely right, just outside Alberta 
Tanks for the kind words

5/3/1 ??? is that some sort of cult?

I am not native to Finland but it does have its good sides, especially during summer. We are getting ready to celebrate the good old heathen midsummer-festival this weekend. That translates in to BBQ, beer, and sauna… and most likely someting like 10-15 drownings.
But feel free to visit, I highly recommend summertime in Finland

Wow! You catch on quick! Or the lurking has paid off…lol
That is exactly what it is. Be careful! These folks are fanatics.

I would imagine that the winters are pretty brutal. Summer sounds like a good plan.
Since it is a “heathen midsummer-festival”, are the drownings accidental? Or sacrifices?
Beer and BBQ are good no matter what is going on around them.

The weird number combinations and the canibalism talk is a dead giveaway

Nice work! Congrats on the PRs! Especially breaking 300# on bench.
You know, saying 137,5 kg just doesn’t sounds as impressive as 302.5 lbs. Kind of like how a 110 km speed limit looks more fun than 70 mph.
