Weird, but impressive

When are you not amazing? I mean really.

You are kind to say so, but I guess I have Imposter Syndrome sometimes. Especially when I look around here and see what others are doing. Plus, @wiseman83 is like the father I never had, and I can’t seem to ever live up to his expectations.

Well, you called me a badass, so now I have hero worship. I shall defend your honor.

Yes, this obliges you to both compliment me and agree with all of my posts going forward.

Still very limited on time these days, for various reasons. Quick one today, and it has been a few weeks since I deadlifted, so this felt heavy.

Crap! I nearly forgot to compliment you! Strong work on those deadlifts! (I actually bothered to do the conversions to pounds and wowza!)

We’re in different timezones, so any delays are forgiven

Still trying to get back into the swing of things, and feeling sleepy this morning, but had time for a quick titty session. Surprisingly good results, but surely that is due to my greater focus on volume. A minor PR as well.

You are very gracious. Many thanks.

Still short on time, but trying to get in whatever I can. I think this is also a little PR. I feel like I should be able to do 10 at that weight, but today sure wasn’t the day for it.

Feel a bit weak, but numbers okay. Too much bounce on the second rep.

Rack pulls yesterday. Everything felt 10 to 20 kilo heavier than it should have, so not too happy. Feels like deadlifts are regressing a little.

Today was titties. This was another rep PR, but it doesn’t feel all that special. I shoulda done another rep, but had no spotter. But whatever, in total it was a good day of work, and that is what I care about.

Squat day today. Top end strength didn’t feel great. Repping the last sets was fine. Decent work.

Agree. You seem to be in a good spot with squat and deadlift right now. What do you think has helped ?

Well, being a massive fatty helps. Of course, I have done similar numbers in the past with much lower bodyweight. I think the difference the extra flesh makes is that it doesn’t hurt nearly as much, because there is more meat moving the weight, and less reliance on all the joints, ligaments and tendons. That means I can stay more consistently up at this level.

Are you eating well to create that mass or just smashing food.
