Bit of a day today. Titties on the agenda. Having been on a calorie surplus since my devastating man-flu is paying off at least a little. Had an inkling going in that I might go after the PR. 135 went up with no issue, so why the hell not. Found the appropriate rage music and a spotter and just did it. Wasnā€™t bad, mighta had a few more kilo there. These scare the shit out of me both before and after, but during the actual lift I am uber focused.

    • 34 kg x 8 reps

The 48 kilo DBs are just absurdly heavy, so I am glad the gym does not have heavier ones.

Anyway, that is one goal off the list.

Good work with that bench. How much further do you think you can push it ?

I won. Thatā€™s the only race (literally and metaphorically) that I have a chance in, so Iā€™ll just run along even if Iā€™m not invited.

I donā€™t know, I thought it was going to take me until at least the end of the year to hit it, so I havenā€™t thought about what is next. I will probably be content with this for nowā€¦still need to get the incline up, as well as the press.

105 with barbell.
It was a random max out. Did 2 @ 100 and 1 @ 102,5 kg beforehand.

Kinda. This is a single pullup in super slow motion, this one took a count of 40 seconds. Pretty tough, goal is to make it slower and slower.

Back around to squat day again. Wasnā€™t dead set on avenging my fail at 160 last time, but on the other hand I felt pretty good, so why not. Not 100% certain the depth was perfect, but it was a decent rep. I brought my grip in a bit to tighten everything up, I think that helped with my bracing.

Been a few weeks, so time to check in on the goals. Morning weight is probably a touch over 84, so I am creeping up on 85 as planned. Iā€™m a big ole fatty.

Deadlift: Still not doing it. I am not really regretting it.
Squat: is at a sloppy 160. A sloppy 165 is in reach.
Decline: Actually hit the 145 goal. Not going to worry about going higher.
Incline: Hit 115, but feel like this is not going much of anywhere. I always doing them after a heavy decline, which is probably part of the reason. Want 120.
Press: Have proven 87.5. In spitting distance of 90, but not sure it is there yet.

Still doing the ab rolls, although I do skip some days. The key takeaway with the rolls is that they still suck and hurt.

Um, okay. Press Day. Things move fast when I am on a five day cycle. Went into it with an open mind, but was also definitely going to go after 90 if things moved well enough. Long story short, 90 went up pretty smoothly, all things considered. Actually tried to make it a double, but wasnā€™t quite there (mighta been had I been prepared for it in advance). Also tried and failed a rep at 92.5. But both of those fails were close. Which is just a roundabout way of saying that I am not quite satisfied with just hitting 90, there is more on the table I think.

Oh, and I bumped the TM up to 87.5, so that will hopefully help me manage this going forward.

Thought about tagging @wanna_be, but that would just be in poor taste.

This has been a damn good week. WTF is that about.

Iā€™m about to add drugs and food. I donā€™t think a new training max will help you :kissing_heart:

In all seriousness though strong work dude.

You are likely out-repping me already anyway. That said, this is 107% of my bodyweight, so if you get too big and fat I will still have that on you.

Which is impressive considering your height. Youā€™re probably carrying a hood bit more muscle mass than I am. Iā€™ll get there though. I know Iā€™m over a body weight press for sure but probably only capable of 1 or 2 reps.

Strangely enough I think Iā€™m going to drop bb OHP for s while. Iā€™m favor of a converging machine that gets my arm path more in line with what should add better muscle. Time will tell

3927

I doubt that. I think we share the ability to move surprising amounts of weights using only sinew and tendons and stuff.
