Broke my first PR on a major lift in over 14 months: 92.5kg x 4 bench (90kg in Dec 2012) My left knee and leg are still mostly fucked after surgery last year so serious squat and DL just don't go, but at least I kept on lifting bench and OHP consistently over the past 2 months. And it feels good to feel strong at something again. | ||

Don't be paranoid though, there is a line between good technique and never pushing your boundaries because you are scared. I always wear belts on squats above 50% of my 1RM. I never wear belts for deadlift, rows or other back exercises though (except for deadlift singles a few weeks from a meet to practice technique) I've been belting up less as my core strength and ability to activate while squatting/cleaning gets better. Today I got up to 200kg squat before i even realized i wasn't wearing one (and forgot to put the safety pins in the squat rack LOL). I think mobility has helped as well. | ||

194 on today's weigh in, had a killer workout. Push/Pull/Legs might not be the most "efficient" routine, but DAMN do I have fun doing it. Keeps me motivated to get to the gym 5-6x/week, but I'm never in a rush to finish a workout, I'm still doing mostly compounds and I'm making progress on everything. If it works, it works eh? I'll probably switch to 5/3/1 when progress stops, but hopefully I can make my 2/3/4 plates goals by then. | ||

@gotunk I used to not be scared until I injured myself and ruined any and all squat/deadlift/clean progress for nearly two years not to mention the unceasing pain for most of it...  | ||

I was on a 1 year streak and then baby came along, and then i built my PC and no workout was done ever since that happened. In 2013 though i was working with Convict Conditioning 1&2 (progressive calishtenics) Trained for a Warrior Dash (lots of running and sprintervals/tabatas) Heavy bag work 3 hours/week at my boxing gym A shit load of jump rope (finally managed to do a bunch of double unders) And last but not least, i added a Kettlebell (1 pood) to my arsenal. It was just enough variety to get the results i wanted, and i was kinda proud to stick to it for so long but now i have to find a way to make it all work together (job, family, sleep, workout, gaming) ...its as if i can only get a mix of 4/5. Without gaming, the equation was perfect but now... IM ADDICTEDDD Oh and i used to use fitocracy to track it all. Then v2.0 fked up, used it less and got off their Hero membership inadvertently(exp credit card). Recently ive been running and walking a lot since i now commute by train but ive gained weight...enough for my dress pants to be a little tighter than i want So i gotta get back to it! /endlifestory | ||
