Nice PRs recently man
wow, ive gotten really off track. getting back in to lifting heavy and here are some recent PR’s of sorts:
DB bench press: 90’sx7
weighted pull-ups: 60x5
trying to make some good progress over this summer since I’ll have a lot of time to train. I start an internship this fall so I will be able to afford all the food I need ![]()
I forgot about this thread or else I would have given it a nice bump. Have you not been lifting much since your absence?
lifting yes, eating no. looking to make some good gains this summer by going back to max-ot training. heavy and basic is what it takes for me, plus eating a lot. I have the horrible habit of switching from “bulking” to “cutting” without making much progress in either. I’m trying to break that habit now because its killed a lot of progress.
small workout summary:
pull-ups: bw+70x3. full ROM but couldn’t quite lockout the last one. will keep this for next week
Deadlifts: just started doing this again. got 365x4. grip is the weak link. I’ve been using gloves since my gym doesn’t allow chalk but i think its making it worse. will try without gloves next week.

Great workout, but I want PR’s!!!
started with weighted pull-ups but wasnt feeling it. worked on getting a pump for the rest of the workout for back.
Dont remember the weights for anything.

DB rows 3 sets
upright rows 3 sets
lat pulldowns 2 sets
all sets were taken to failure. Got an AMAZING pump in my back so i was happy with it.

that was killer. i was sore within 20 minutes after my workout!! my form on squat has really improved. im learning how to stay tight and use my belt better. I squat with a wide stance and try to go slightly below parallel on most reps. lower back strength is really holding me back right now so i intend to focus more on that.
