I did it =] I joined the 200 club for my squat!
Squats 5x5 200 lbs Bench 5x5 145 lbs Chin-ups 3x6 BW+10 lbs Dips 3x6 BW+35 lbs
Then some random bicep work...
Also - wow, using the dip belt vs. using a dumbbell between your feet is like night and day. My school gym finally got one so I used it today and it felt great. It felt like I flew to the top of the bar when I was doing chins

My school wasted money on a safety squat bar ~october. I don't think I've seen it used yet.
WIsh they would have just bought a decent olympic bar instead....

Yeah, I'm pretty spoiled with bar-choices and the safety squat bar is actually used.
There is even a notice on the wall that tells people to use only the SSB in a cage while doing box squats. I need to find out what idiot fucked himself up to have the manager put it up.

we used to have one York bearing bar - it was very poorly maintained though, so the sleeves didn't spin well and the knurling was starting to rust. People kept using it to deadlift (because it was on the platform by the bumpers, and obviously you need bumpers and a platform to deadlift) and just recently one of the sleeves fell off.
So we're left with a bunch of 32mm chrome plated bars with bolted ends (no spin at all) and a bunch of no-name bushing bars that (again) aren't taken care of so they barely spin, are starting to rust, and are mostly bent. But we totally needed to get that safety squat bar.

Counts in kg.
Deadlift: 8x2 100 5x1 140 5x3 180
Biceps barbell and shrugs 15x4 100.

Today's workout:
BB SQ: 60kg x 5-5, 80kg x 5-5-5 FS: 60kg 5-5-5
Got a friendly reminder to not bench the day before squats. Took prolly 20mins to just get under the bar properly.

Shoulder and chest were so tight after the benching so I couldn't grip the bar narrow enough. I would like have to grip it outside of the rack if I were to do it cold lol. But it just takes some time and then I can do some shoulder dislocations to increase my shoulder flexibility.

Sounds like you need to incorporate some heavy stretching into your workout routine. The only upper body soreness that should limit your DL strength is upper back, esp. lats, including the loss of grip strength afterwards.
Stretching is a manly thing to do. Being stiff and tonic isn't.

Yeah, I just started lifting again after being a lazy slob/student and and "going easy" is damn hard so I'm going to be pretty sore the next week(s). Mobility stuff also makes my knees feel so much better.

Finally made my chin up goal :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
3x5 BW +45 pounds which is a little over 1.25x bodyweight It was great to have that big ole' 45lb plate hanging off my waist and be able to pull off all my chinup sets 
|
Nice work! It's an awesome feeling

I hope to be there with you in the coming months. Having just started weighted chins and pull ups it really is such a rewarding feeling when you hit all of your reps.

Well, it has always been a problem but then again I never benched the day before squatting. But you are right, that mobility needs to come back.
