I know you’re just doing your job, but this is almost like a curling PR with the 4 kilo dumbbells.

Very well. I expect you to work harder to impress me.

Still in a bit of a fugue state in my head, really annoying. Kinda shit today, I feel like I probably have 10 at 80 kilo in me at this point, but I just don’t have the energy or focus right now.

Feeling a little better today, far from perfect…so kept it a little on the easy side. Got a little rep PR, but trying out some new straps probably cost me a rep or so. I prefer going mixed grip with no straps, but in the long run I will probably benefit for double overhand and straps.
Tagging @simo74 and @alex_uk for a bit of competitive inspiration, although the former might have already passed me up.

Awesome work fella. Nice to see another senior smashing it.

The shame of not being included in a deadlift motivation group runs deep.

You were kind to not point out that you already hit 8 reps a couple days ago. Now I am going to have to do that next week I guess.

You are already better than us on account of your freakish build. Probably there is another group for that.

It comes with a price.

Day off yesterday…a lot of lower back DOMS to deal with. It’s still there a little bit today, but nothing too bad. On the other hand, the rest of me feels alright for the first time in 10 days or so.
Anyway, a couple of big PRs today. The first was the more worrisome, the second was mostly a foregone conclusion.
I believe I started seriously working my flat bench for the first time in my life about 1 year ago. I have put something like 20 to 25 kilo on my PR in that time. Not bad.

Well, as is well-documented in these forums, I like to keep it humble. But yeah, I absolutely killed it.

If you can just stop getting stronger about now that’d be most appreciated, let me have 1 lift over you at least.
Congrats on them PRs!

Today was shit, so I didn’t do shit. Just made sure the reps were good. Think it is taking longer to recover from deadlifts than expected.

I was hoping for a little Christmas Miracle, but it was not meant to be today. I normally don’t give up easily, but the gulf between 9 and 10 feels enormous. Though I did sorta make 9.5!
