Tuesday
Week 8 of Coan Deadlift

610X1X2 PR
Projected max 645

Circuit etc.

Bar had no knurling to speak of, felt like shit on top of it, still got it, Coan is, even now, like black fucking magic.
Video coming soon

Turns out it was 615 due to my training partner not understanding the loading with 100’s
So cool hahahaha SLIGHTLY BIGGER PR!!!

Curls and shit, nothing to tell really except seated 45’sX10 for lateral raises. Feel pretty good for the week.

Quick day in the gym

Close Grip
315X1X5
335X1X2

Chain dips drop set start with both chains (30) go to one chain (15) go to bodyweight
X A fuckload

Weird circuit inspired by cressy

Inverted grip face pulls, great external rotation on theseX3X12
Overhead tricep extensionsX3X12

Feel real good, 315 just doesn’t seem anywhere near as heavy as it used to.

Happy about all this, be front squatting 405 pretty soon I think.

Gonna do collegiate nationals this year and just compete raw cause why not, I need to do a real and official meet, so I have a qualifier on the 31st where I only have to hit 1290, no problem.

Finally moving away from weak on the bench.

Still dieting, 231 seems a hell of a lot further from 250 than 242

Already waaaay down to 240, might have to cut this out early, I know I’ll gain back some water weight but this is nonsense.
