Good lift today. One more day of deloading weds then back to 5x5 work. Felt good to put some weight over head. A little push up and pull up test. Push ups had to rest once, pull ups twice. I think fresh I would do much better on both. Especially push ups.

Two good lifts. I suck ass at incline though. I think I might focus on that for a while one day a week. Triceps and lats were lit though.

Squats felt good today. When I take my time warming up they always do. When I run into a time crunch I get in trouble though. Deads went well too. Don't know what my PR double is but this has to be close.
 
I feel ya on the incline man. Probably my worst lift out of any lifts in the gym lol.

Great lift today. Squats are going great. Never really made a note but ive been going with a lower bar placement. Idk if you would call them a true low bar squat, but they are different then my previous pure high bar technique. 335x6 corresponds to a ~400ish max. I've never hit 400 in a belt so I must be doing something right lol. BW at 213.
