Highlights
405 DL
4 plates/side hack squat x 3 (although since it’s 30 degrees off of vertical I can take off 33% off the weight for an estimated front squat - and that’s under 215lbs. Not so impressive)
Lowlights
failed OHP@175
Couldn’t get the power cage to do front squats so I had to do hack squats. Almost got buried with 225 FS when it came open.
Folks at my gym look “puffy.” Not fat, looks like muscle, but it’s “puffy.”
I’m an opinionated Albino.
Glad to see you back and hitting it hard.
Nothing wrong with being opinionated. As long as I share your opinions.
Atrox? Naw.

Kept losing those out front and running after them. My rack has gone mushy again. Cleans were nice though and no problem standing up with them.

Using a different squat stance and descent. Very incomfortable[sic] bringing my toes back in but still spreading the knees. Might have to take it slower. If I can do it, I’ll get more powerful hamstrings involvement and a better spring out of the bottom, I can tell.

Why all the hate on Norwegian metal bands?
Yah - you could do skater squats. Or you could walk up a fucking hill with a pack on. Please…

I know what you’re referring to. I kind of thought the move was cool. But I can be seduced by stupid shit like that.
Just checking out the old faces.
Looking good in here.

SQ is picking up. Could only do a double last time @255. And this is after about 5 hours of shoveling dirt out of and into the new garden. Skipped any pulls today.

Still feel mushy and a little weak. Hit base level here as well. Time to start attacking the weight.
It looks like you have gotten back into the groove so I’d expect to see your numbers moving up steadily for a bit.

I do hope so, these numbers are embarrassing…
