Whoa, you gave up golf to lift weights? Damn, who doesnāt wanna ride around in a lil cart hitting balls with them shiny ass sticks and making ka ching offa them. But seriously though, thatās really cool.
Meh.

Pressing 205 for reps is pretty good. Iām interested to hear how working with this guy works out. The idea of a coach getting coached seems cool.
I always think about golfers when I am āpracticingā lifts. Like how you were working on your cleans with light weight, practicing the movement. I imagine thats how a golfer would do it on the driving range. Not trying to kill the ball, but just taking smooth cuts.
It seems like lots of golf tips (arm straight, eyes on ball) are like lifting cues (chest high, tuck chin). Does it work that way?
Anyway, congratulations on the great progress. Keep up the good effort. Iām looking forward to your updates.
Sort of.

Sounds like a good sessionās worth of work. Youāll probably see everything go up now.
Yeah, so Iām a lot more so than usual today.
Youāre just doing it right. Recruiting more, using more, being more efficient.
Yep, thatās what I think at least.

Be careful with your elbow. In my experience they can get rather bad rather fast. It may be your squat grip and where you put your elbows. If youāre gripping quite narrow and pushing your elbows forward under the bar I would strongly suggest moving your grip out a handās width or so and instead of pulling your elbows forward under the bar pull them into your sides.
I had a physical therapist look at it.

Have you always used Full Body splits, or do you ever get down with the upper/lower style? You lose a little squat frequency, but you allow yourself more recovery between workouts. You also get a chance to spend a little more time really focusing on 1 lift at a time.
I donāt mean to suggest it like a āroutine hop,ā but more like the next logical step in your training.
No, running SS until I stall, then 531.
Heavy is relative. Youāre squatting over 220 lbs which is very respectable by most regular gym standards. Before too long, 300 lbs will be your heavy. Then 400 lbs, etc.

Hope so.
Iād aim for four. Youāll get to three relatively quickly.
