155 so easy but nope. Surely a form leak because 145 drop sets too easy.

Made friends with a guy. We had a brief spat over me benching in the rack and taking long rests. I explained that I've literally almost died so insist on the rack when available. And then he said okay but those rest periods, scientifically proven lower the weight do more reps and get bigger. I said k, but that depends on your programming and goals, you're assuming I care about that, yeah?

So then we made up and solidifed our bromance by me agreeing to do his post bench workout, 135xamrap.

Me: 135x45

Nice bench rep out.

I guess your squat is not in shambles after all. But video of 405 when it happens or it did not happen. The fakeb notorious high squatter.

Yah afterwards I felt like a dummy for not making it an AMRAP

Today was maybe the easiest day at the gym in a long time, so I'm thinking I'll treat d1 and d2 as peaking days and go for a true one rep max on Friday. Might as well take advantage of strength being optimized with maximum recovery from fatigue

280, 300, 320 (X5, gave up, walked away in shame, got back under bar within 60s and finished but lol)

Lol at me. Video showed squat was fast and I felt even more ashamed since I think 320x8 would have been a PR

TNG bench
X10
195, 215, 235

Think 235 is a PR. Obv this was @9 and could should would have done 245 or 250 for an even bigger PR, but that sounds hard

Monte saw Vidya and shamed me for not hitting the fourth rep for a PR.

My fault. Shoulders moved on fourth rep, made something easy suddenly impossible

Sick work!!

For everyone else's edification, he also said "climbing sucks" after grinding out 405. I feel like that was a shot at someone.

Indeed.

As an aside, can you comment on your pull-up ROM? That's de rigueur around these parts these days.

Oh I see. You mean general discussion. I couldn't understand why anyone would debate my pull up ROM in particular

I understand I don't get a squat depth vote, but I can at least send it to the judges.

Paging the squat depth patrol WAK (weasel, Aidan, KC).

It's high.

Busto,

When did you start descending all slow like that? is there a reason?

No no there was no question about depth. Do not debate. I only posted the video for the TC burn.

Weasel, idk when. I like it. Tight, controlled descent. More like KC.

Does make it tough to get extra inches though when the weights that heavy. It feels like wearing a squat suit. Not that I've ever worn one or ever will.

For comparison. Or lels.

Thanks for stopping by.
