Well, i mean, most people cant even flat bench that.
I know, I was just being cranky. And besides, I don’t want to be measuring myself against the standards of “most people”.
Two days ago was some basic pulling. Yesterday was pressing. Not bad, not good. I failed the first attempt at 110, but cheated enough with the second attempt to get it up. DBs were good. Feeling a little better, but still some issues.

That’s a ton of pressing. I best you felt blasted after that. I’ve been struggling to regain my press from a couple years ago, but I’m shoulder pressing right after flat bench.
I actually left feeling like I was slacking a little bit.
Still feeling off, but not as bad. And then weirdly I smashed a single at 180. I think my short term plan is to do like the below, but with more volume and difficulty on the bulgarians. I had to stop short today because the boy had a headache.

Another not terrible day, although I dislike how heavy 110 kilo feels. Decent work overall. Still don’t have an actual plan.

Yeah, not spectacular.
Congrats!
100x4 is huge though.
Well, if you like that sort of thing, I guess.
Low sleep and low energy. The the basic work I wanted to do, but I can see that I am being a bit too lazy, need to do more total sets. 170 was very good, I am pretty please at the depth I think I am hitting.

Solid squatting!
Video it, let the internet be the judge of that!
I do love a good video.
