Any salad is too much salad.

I feel the same way about PR sets. Its hard to get out of your own head and just try as hard as you can.

Good luck dude

You need us to break out out cheerleaders outfits?

Honestly I feel the same. I get too emotional and stressed when I have to perform, do a PR or are people counting on my performance. Last weekā€™s deadlift, fur funsies, I had a mate slap me repeatedly in the back and I screamed lol. It was fun but for whatever reason I felt more focused, less anxious, and my form was better than on 190 and 180, and I felt I was in control, not stressing at all about the lift.

So maybe we ought to find ways to destress even if grunting and all is not proper gym etiquette ahahah

Somehow Iā€™m not surprised you own a cheerleader outfit.

Weā€™re all built different. I bitch and moan, but in reality I excel under that kind of pressure. Just the way I am built. Part of my pre-bitch/moan routine is done deliberately so that I am in the right mental place. Itā€™s like it is just the right amount of stress, but not too much.

Right, since you are all now hanging in suspense, and to avoid having to visualizing Dagill in a skirt and sexy top, I hereby reveal the results.

    • Barbell Squat

      • 40 kg x 5 reps
      • 60 kg x 5 reps
      • 80 kg x 5 reps
      • 100 kg x 3 reps
      • 120 kg x 2 reps
      • 140 kg x 1 reps
      • 155 kg x 1 reps
      • 140 kg x 5 reps

    • Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP)

      • 30 kg x 5 reps
      • 40 kg x 5 reps
      • 50 kg x 3 reps
      • 60 kg x 5 reps
      • 70 kg x 3 reps
      • 75 kg x 10 reps (rep PR)
      • 55 kg x 10 reps
      • 55 kg x 10 reps
      • 55 kg x 10 reps
      • 55 kg x 10 reps
      • 55 kg x 10 reps

So I guess it wentā€¦as well as expected? A PR for sure at that weight, and hit double digits, which I basically demand of myself when doing AMRAP. I actually had to rest the two last reps on my front delts and take a deep breathā€¦though that would kill the set, but I powered them up anyway. Equally interesting is that I moved the cardio sets up to 55 and did them with really good speed, and that is pure gold.

You didnā€™t wait for me? I was halfway through shaving my legs.

Good work man. Insert old joke here.

Is that like shaving just one leg, or shaving half of each leg?

I hadnā€™t thought this joke all the way through, so whichever you think is funnier.

Now that would have been something. But a measly ten? - nahā€¦

But at least dagill2 did not get around to breaking out the old cheerleader outfit - sparing us all for some probably hard to forget images.

Your press is getting seriously awesome, dude!

@dagill2 donā€™t let him bully you, I know you could have pulled that skirt and tank top off!
I have seen barely clothed photos of the old man on the internet, he is just afraid of comparison.

One of my boys tested positive for Covid. I was with him last Friday where I took him to the gym with me (he lives with his mother full time), and he was feeling a bit sick already then (which I cam to find out AFTER we were at the public gym). So I am in a bit of a self-quarantine for a bit. Will get a test tomorrow. In any event, no actual gym for at least a handful of days.

I punched Bob a bit yesterday for the first time in like a month. May have to do that for the next few days.

That sucks, you still got the old barbell?
