I know these aren't totally clean reps. But 3 crappy chin ups is more than I did last time. 📈

Another week another OHP PR 3x5 at 107.5 lbs Not a huge jump but feeling strong on these reps. Still working on some form tweaks. Any feedback is welcome.

I can do a pathetically low number of chin ups. But it's more than I could do last week. Progress is progress 📈

Overhead Press 100lbs for 5 reps I know it's not much, but this is a PR for me. Last of 3 sets here. Felt pretty good! Working on being less weak. Let's go!

3x5 155lbs bench Staving off inevitable death just a little longer every day. Life is better when you're strong. Hope you all are having an amazing Tuesday.

Getting a lot of comments like this lately. Fortunately it's easy to ignore random Internet dudes. Here's deadlifts at an "embarrassing" 295lbs Reduced weight a bit to focus on "pushing the floor away" rather than yanking the bar. Try to be a little better every day.

Bench PR today. 3x5 at 175lbs. Playing around with breathing less. Excessive breathing seemed to be messing up my set up. Did the last set of 5 with one breath. Bench is feeling easy all of the sudden

Finally hit 172.5 for 3x5 on the bench. A mental victory. I failed this weight twice already. Knew I could do it after the second set. Few things I focused on this time. - Changed grip to get bar low on palm - Fixed gaze on the ceiling - Chest up Feeling strong

Wife and I took the day off and went to the gym this morning. 3x5 squats at 240lbs. I don't have great records from a 5x5 program I did several years ago. But this may be the most I've ever squated. Last set here. Apparently I can't count. Did 6. We'll call it a 6 rep PR

No progress on bench from last week. Still falling the fifth rep on the third set. 172.5 is my nemesis. I can feel it's close though.

187.5lbs bench Missed the last rep of 3x5 But this is still the most I've ever pushed on the bench. Feeling good!

This is either the best thing for my back or the worst. Still not sure. But I'm going to keep going until I know.

Another attempt at 120lbs overhead press for 3x5. Another failure to complete the prescribed workout. Failed the second set after 4. Same with the third While I didn't quite make it, I'm happier with my form compared to a few days ago. Resetting down to 105 next workout.

I'm thankful for a lot this year But at this moment I was just thankful to finish the set. 235lbs 3x5 squats this morning. Happy Thanksgiving all 🦃

Not happy with the depth on some of these reps. They're borderline. But 280lbs is a lot more than I was expecting to be squatting by this point. Happy with the progress. Keep pushing. Keep working. Here's to the start of a great week.

Still no shoes. Sorry to everyone this triggers. I'll get them soon (trust me). Still getting stronger. 265lbs 3x5 We're in every workout is a PR territory. Feeling good.

Took my son to the gym today. Working on dumbbell press and row mostly (empty bar is a little too much for him). Finished it off with 6 deadlifts at 300lbs. I don't love these reps, but they felt easier than 295 for 5 last time. Progress is progress.

330 deadlifts today. That's more than I've ever pulled. But not going to lie. My back does not feel great. You can see rounding gets progressively worse each rep. It's not hurt hurt, but I'm definitely not adding more weight to the bar next time.

Bruce called me out on my lack of depth. Lacking depth is acceptable for comic books and video games. But not for people or squats. This is why you need random Internet friends to bully you into being better. Challenge accepted. How'd I do?

Dead lift from yesterday 295lbs. Feel like my back is rounding too much on several of these reps. Still needs work. Getting there.

Squats at 290lbs. That's a PR, but so is every workout right now. At the current rate of progression my squat is going to overtake my deadlift working weight. Guessing that's not sustainable, but squats are feeling good.

305lbs deadlifts yesterday. Narrowed grip and stance from the last few lifts. That felt like a big improvement. Tried overhand grip again. Almost completely failed in the last few reps. That bandaid is now a reminder to get long socks. My shins need them. Good day.
