Yeah, I feel like a fat arse, so he is near enough to the truth. But my SO likes me like this, so I guess I wear it well enough.

I can press you for reps, mate. That makes you my 100% absolute bitch.

See this is why you take videos! To capture hillarious shit, like @MarkKO throwing a monolift out the window!

Yeah, that would have been a good video. But no reason I would film a trivial lift like that in the first place.

Warmed up a little bit with @alex_uk PR weight, then did some jumps. Jumps are not as easy when I am such a lard ass.

It’s alright because you’re heavier than me, and presumably fatter, so it’s just leverages now, not innate strength.

Well I’ve always been fatter, but I am quite insulted to find out I might also be heavier.

Today was meh. I thought for sure I was gonna hit a one rep max at 107.5, but I was overconfident. Fail. A little bummed, but okay, it is not like I am really training this lift. More like warming up for DBs.
Hit a rep PR with the 40 kilo DBs, which was a nice little 2 rep improvement.

Here’s a re-do of the session I was doing last Tuesday before Beltpocalpyse happened. I am not used to this kind of volume right now, so I might regret this in the morning.

Today a little bit good, little bit bad. Tied my PR again, and it was not so terrible. But then put 2.5 kilo and went for a new PR and failed miserably…way out of the groove, not even close. Hmm.
And then 120 on the incline got out of the groove and hit the fucking pins on the way down. Managed to complete it, but sheesh. Sloppy stuff today.

what sort of height are you doing these from ?

I am guessing the bar is somewhere around 16 to 18 inches off the floor? I am aiming for about 18, but not measuring it.

Leveled up a bit today. Getting both of the DBs up without a spotter to help is all but impossible (I am too small or something, I dunno), but pressing them was not as bad as I thought it would be. Although clumsy and difficult to keep in the groove. Need more practice, but this is not a weight I can do every week.
