Yeah thanks man I expected it to get better pretty quick because my legs had gotten much stronger since I’d last done them. To be honest though, I am not a huge fan of squats.
For some reason the pluses (+) I write aren’t showing up, so I’ll use up and down instead of plus or minus.
Back Thickness
135x15, 225x6, 315x5, 475x2, 565x4 (Up 20 pounds, down 1 rep. One step away from 6 plates/side!)
Seated row - 120x12, 220x11 (up 20 pounds, down 3 reps)
BB Shrug - 135x12, 225x5, 335x14 (Up 2 reps. I really just don’t like these, think I may switch to some sort of machine)
And some grip stuff
Back width/bis
Pulldowns - 90x12, 130x6, 190x11
HS Close-Grip Pulldowns - 90x12, 180x6, 230x9 (Up 10 pounds, down 1 rep)
Pullovers - 25x12, 55x9 (Up 5 pounds, down 3 reps)
Preacher Curl Machine - 60x10, 85x5, 130x5 (Up 20 pounds, down 5 reps. I only meant to go up 10 pounds but there was another ten hiding between two 25’s that I didn’t see)

Also, weight: 204 (Up 2.5 pounds!)

Thanks man I appreciate it. And no it’s a Nautilus, but pretty much the same thing I think, you put plates on it and shrug lol.

V-Pushdowns - 42.5x12, 65x6, 95x15, then drop set.

So apparently my close-grip is better than my regular bench now? Oh well I’ll take it lol maybe I’ll try 315 close-grip soon.
Squatted 315x7, then a bunch of other leg and ab and grip stuff because I had the chance to, because I was at my regular gym.

Thanks man, and yeah I’m pretty confident I could get 315.
And you’d think so about my tris lol but my arms just don’t seem to like to grow very much. Oh well, eventually.
