15lbs lighter and I tied my OHP PR, I'll take it.

Next few days are going to be hell. So much school work to do. I'm done Wednesday night.

Stay strong AM.
 
Looking at that bench I think you underestimate yourself sometimes. Considering how strong you have gotten so fast that is huge.

Nice OHPing too, *******


Jk, I'm jelly lol ?
 
Thanks, gents.

Just wrote for 10 hours with little to no break. I've ingested so much caffeine that sleep is nowhere in sight. Worst part is these stims have me feeling extremely anxious. I cannot relax. This is awful.
 
I apologize in advance, guys. Not going to be very active the next few days. Random comment here and there, maybe. School is kicking my ass. I'm not ignoring all the great lifting!

PR is 200 on the dot. I'd like to hit 225 in a year or so. OHP progress is extremely slow for me

Me, too. Yours is pretty impressive already though.

No worries. Get that schooling taken care of.
 
Brah I am the king of inactive logs....don't worry you'll be fine and can't overtake that title from me. ;)
 
Pushed through that grinder.
 
Have you tried the DL socks yet?
 
liftandswim said:
Yes.

I still get cut up through a bandaid, DL socks, and sweatpants. Oh well, it's better than before.

Is it worth me getting a pair?
 
Dude, you should get in the smith machine and put plates under your heels to get the form down before you do 315 again. We're not going for world records every season.

Lol.

You're right, man. These compound lifts are scary. Not worth the risk. Back to machines and calisthenics for me.
 
450 for reps!
 
5/7

Week 20, Day 4

Bench
work up, work up
340x1 PR Invalid Link Removed
+ slingshot
365x1 PR
- slingshot
225x15 PR

Squat
135x3x3

Face Pulls
50 total

Dumbbell Curl
2x20

Thoughts:

Ecstatic with today's benching. Hit 340 (10# PR). And I did it ~15-20lbs lighter! Reviewing the film I was probably good for 345 or 350 too. Good things to come.

Squats on Saturday.

Stay strong AM.
 
You should do some sort of event where you do these for sport one day...I can't think of what it is ;)


Congrats man!

Sweet!! You made that easy! Congrats man, I know it's a great feeling!
 
340 is huge. Congrats man.

Thanks, bud.

Yeah, next training cycle I'll be incorporating more paused work. Admittedly, I strayed away from it just because I was being lazy. Need to get back to it.

I did the same for some time. Now pause benching is my main work and touch and go is assistance. However lately I've paused everything including db presses.

Luckily, I'm good at pausing. Last cycle my TnG max and paused max were the same. Reps are a different story for obvious reasons.

Thanks for getting on my ass about it though. Likely would have kept riding the lazy train if not.
