Did some morning squats today at a commercial gym. Some douche had all the 20kg plates on the leg press machine, I had to use five 5kg plates on each side of my bar lmao. Got up to 145kg for a double then 155kg for a single, both PRs. Gotta get strongerrrr. AM squats, PM max out!

Your gym is packed with big names man. Does Holley look much thinner? I saw an episode of the biggest loser she came in at like 350lbs lol

Lifted on a 31mm rogue bar today, felt kind of weird. Worked up to 205/245. Too bad this gym just opened up, it's like a 5 minute walk from where I work.

Saw her again yesteday finishing up doing some pulls at 110 or so. I guess she's a bit skinnier, i'd still ballpark her at ~300 or so

100kg/220lb snatch baby! Also hit a 260lb CJ PR, fucking took like 4 steps on the jerk recovery lol. Cleaned 270 too but no jerk. 2 kilos away from that 220 total!

First real workout since the new year.

Squat 135 5x5 back feels good so i'm taking this as a good sign
Bench 185 3x5
Deadlift 135x10 back still felt good, sweet
Chin-ups with 25, some pull-ups.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of dropping into a front squat and stomping down to catch the bar. Weights are low, but since I'm working at a YMCA I don't want to start dropping weights (onto the floor).

CJ: 5x45lbs 3x95 3x95 3x95 3x95 2x95 2x95 3x95 2x95 2x95 2x95 2x105 2x105 2x105 2x115 2x115

Followed it up with upright rows (to the chin) 4x6x65, overhead "switch" press 6x45 4x65 3.5x75 ans 2.5x75 (getting exhausted here), then finished with some "bodybuilding" type front raises and rear flies.

Gotta say it takes a certain amount of confidence to drop into a front squat under the bar and to know that it will be where it's supposed to be. As opposed to a movement like bench press, where heavier weights just means more "squeeze", a heavier clean means the bar moves less when you get under it. It's hard to judge sometimes, for example cleaning the bar usually results in banging my lower chin :/

Jerks are tough on the wrists! Had no trouble jerking at 115, but I think my hand position is shit.

My gf will record me in a few days doing some lifts and I'd like to get chewed out as much as possible!

CJ: 5x45lbs 5x95 135 135 135 135 135

With wrist wraps I can jerk with much less pain in the wrist. Getting good feet hitting the ground as I'm catching but still a bit slow on the elbows.

Pull-ups, GHR, Narrow grip bench. SI feels 95% fine after squats but that 5% is more than wednesday and makes me nervous :\

Nice lifting! Clean and split are looking good. You just need a bit more rhythm/consistency on your dip.

My deadlift has regressed so much due to my cut, did 5 reps 160kg three weeks ago, now I only managed 1 rep =(. Felt really dizzy too.

Other lifts ok, or even progressing.

Can't you do them in front of where you are doing squats, or wherever you do deadlifts?
