I sure hope so. Lmbo

I was on a roll today. Hit a PR on everything I touched. Even the elusive OHP, and I hit two single PRs there.

I should've called in and squatted and benched, too. lol

Yumm! I've gotta get me more of those! The cookie dough is my favorite! What's yours?
 
Nice work! Seems like all your pressing is coming around. You b!tch about it, but your OHP is up like 30lbs in a few months. That's crazy progress. I haven't tested a single, but mine has went up maybe 5-10lbs in the past 6 months.

What's on tap for squats tomorrow?

I'm not certain my favorite, tbh. Yesterday I had cookie dough and today I'm having cookies and cream. Thanks Kat!

My prescribed work sets were 150x5, 165x3, 180x1. I knew that my lack of progress was because my training max was too high, so I backed the numbers down. It worked. Looking forward to next TC with more accurate numbers.

Squat goal is to hit depth. 405 then 425. I'll repeat them if I'm not low enough. I don't know why I stopped high last time. I feel better getting a bounce out of the hole.

425 WILL happen.

If it happens the first go, then I may try BWx34, which will be 230 unless I can find two 1# plates. lol
 
Quest bars - CCCD, vanilla almond nut, s'mores, White Choc Raspberry. Will try the Mint Choc chip tonight. And of course the PB cups are great broken up in some sludge! Must be close to lunch time, just made myself hungry...
 
Careful with that "bounce" with that weight. Don't wanna tweak an acl or anything. I trust you'll get 425 with no sweat!

Maybe I naturally slowed down last time. My calculated max is up close to 450, so I should have 425...
 
I don't put much weight in calculated maxes unless they're 5 reps or less. Especially on bench.

And pop/bounce or whatever you wanna call it out of the hole is good. Just wanna avoid a "crashing elevator" squat like turf said
 
BWx34 ain't happening. That would be a 490 calc 1RM. lol

425 will be deep and fast. Then I'll attempt 450.
 
230x34 would be a ton dude; I didn't wanna shatter your hopes but no way Jose, not yet for you.

425 on the other hand...... :thumbsup:

Stop hatin!
 
Smoke detector decided to tell me the battery was dying at 2AM. The beep was timed every 11 seconds. That's just insane.

Anyway, had to get it down and took a while to go back to sleep. A little tired, but the squats are still happening.
 
T'was a good workout.

Log and video to come shortly...
 
Two chicken sandwiches. Lol.

Tonight I'm going to a Japanese steak house.

Critiques, please.

I forgot to remind spotter #2 to let me fail. When I stammered and he dove in I lost air screaming, but hit it anyway. lol
 
Nice lifting this morning Thomas. Happy Birthday
 
Woohoo! Way to bring in your birthday!!! That's awesome!! Happy Birthday Thomas!
 
29 and counting
 
Happy birthday man!

Nice squatting too! Both reps looked pretty good, second obviously deeper, came up pretty good too for losing your air.

CYCLE 1:

I used a calculated 1RM to start since I never really had a max. First number will be my estimated maxes (cycle start), middle number is the most weight I've had on the bar for that exercise PRIOR to this cycle, then ending is the new max (new cycle will be 90% as my training max).

OHP: 174/150/180

Bench: 252/225/265 (hit 275 once and 265 for a triple)

Squat: 388.5/370*/425

^^Wasn't hitting proper depth. My proper depth max was closer to 300-315.

Deadlift: 418/385/510

Weight start/end:

210#/227#

Can't decide if I'll sleep in tomorrow, go straight to bench for cycle two, or do a leg hypertrophy day. Choices, choices.
