This is why I always record my working sets leading up to my top set. I’ve been doing it for years and I watch in between sets. Sometimes I just feel like garbage and lift great. I’ve went into workouts feeling like I could lift anything and have nothing. Its why you always got to get it done. I wanted to just go home and go to sleep yesterday. But it was probably my strongest overhead day ever

985

I only post the videos cause

  1. I’m a whore

  2. sponsorship obligations which I guess also makes me a whore

Lol yes. C’mon, Kalle! Do you know who I am?!:wink:

994

Lol you girls are too much. Just write up a resume same as you would a job. Make it professional and email a bunch of companies (that you would actually endorse and want to work with) You’d be surprised what you get

Yeah i thought about going for 435-440 or so I think I could have got that, my core has came up a lot so I hope it continues to do so, I remember 365 used to fold me over just as bad.

keep working I remember i spent almost a year trying to hit the 300 mark I must have missed it 10 times even though I did 295 before. The day I hit it i got 315 right after it
