Do you use a stunt double for your videos?

All my videos are deep fakes. I just find random internet videos of short-fat-bald guys doing stuff and then photoshop more plates onto the bar.

Man an 85kg strict pressā€¦ 187lbsā€¦ above your bodyweight too!

You know what though? As nice as an 85 kilo press is, I would gladly trade it for, say, a 90 kilo press.

Things arenā€™t that desperate yet. My weight has been pretty stable over the past month or two and I have been able to add weight to the bar. Once that stopsā€¦yeah, burger city.

Been a whole week since squats and two whole weeks since last time I push pressed, so did them both, having no clue if that was wise or not. Seemed okay, but that is no doubt in part because I did not go crazy with anything, plus I had a day off yesterday.

Set TM on squat up to 150, because I need to make 150 common and trivial. Moved fine.

  • Barbell Squat

    • 60 kg x 5 reps
    • 75 kg x 5 reps
    • 85 kg x 5 reps
    • 100 kg x 3 reps
    • 120 kg x 3 reps
    • 135 kg x 1 reps
    • 150 kg x 1 reps
    • 140 kg x 3 reps
    • 100 kg x 10 reps

  • Push Press

    • 40 kg x 5 reps
    • 60 kg x 5 reps
    • 70 kg x 3 reps
    • 80 kg x 2 reps
    • 90 kg x 1 reps
    • 100 kg x 1 reps
    • 110 kg x 1 reps
    • 60 kg x 10 reps

Finally hit 110 on the push press, so that was cool. Just turned my brain off, walked up and did it. Almost hit a 1 on the RPS scaleā€¦too focused on the dip, not enough focus on the push. Still, none of that matters once the weight is locked out.

It probably didnā€™t really pause, time just sorta slows down when it gets really difficult sometimes.

Yes it is funny how much time slows down when a heavy lift slows down.

Just tired as balls today, poor and interrupted sleep. A bit underfed. Didnā€™t seem to matter much anyway. Skipped 125 and went straight to 130. Guess my TM at 125 doesnā€™t make much sense any longer.

I have maybe tripled 130 once or twice beforeā€¦a bit unsure. Certainly not at this BW, though. It was almost a failure on the third rep, but I had a spotter just in case. And those backoffs sets are suppose to be at 87 at this TM, so that was pretty good, too.

Checking back in this thread, I guess I did it two years ago for a rep PR.

Not all days are good days, so really had to just do roughly the bare minimum today. Doing a press day after declines is not unusual for me, although I did go a bit harder yesterday than usual. Could definitely feel it in my shoulders today.

Ick. The backoffs were 5 kilo heavier than required, but otherwise scraping the bottom today.

Went after 160 today. Should have had it. Didnā€™t. I started to lean forward too much on the way up and that was the end of it. Pretty annoying, and obviously not something I can put up with for very long. As usual when I fail something I find a way to punish myself, and since there is nothing worse than some Front Squats, thatā€™s what I did.

Guess my old Front Squat PR was 110, so that was okay. Could probably do a bit more with a bit of practice. Although why the devil anyone would want to do that is another question.
