Not sure how heavy the bar is in this clip but I loaded 115 lbs. and easily grabbed a single rep. Brought the whole fam downstairs to the gym real quick just to be safe. SDG.

Sliding into the weekend with a bench press PR 💪 300 1x1 THREE HUNDRED!!!!! The mental roller coaster of “is it going or is it not” is SO intense until it actually locks out!! I am beside myself… Over the past 3 years, I have mutated from scrawny pencil-neck to putting up THREE HUNDRED on the bench press! I’m thankful for the strength given to me by the Lord, I’m thankful for the endless support and cheering from my wife and children, and I’m thankful for the constant challenges and encouragement from my coach Matt Reynolds | Strength Coach. Strength doesn’t happen on its own - you must pursue it, and it’s a noble pursuit. #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Sliding into the weekend with a bench press PR 💪 295 lbs. 1x1 In case you ever wonder what RPE 10 or “max effort” looks like, look no further! This is a 5-lb PR over last week and a new 1RM for me. And yes, I hung on for the full 8 seconds. I did not want to go to the gym today. I slept poorly and I feel gross today. I showed up at the gym anyways and completed the full assignment. STAY THE COURSE GENTS! May the Lord be praised this day and forevermore! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Overhead press 142.5 lbs. 1x3 Struggled to keep my elbows in today (I constantly have to fight the flare out), but glad I got up 3 reps. This ties my previous PR for 3 reps at this weight. I will call it a win. Still have Dropkick Murphys pumping in the background - I found a nice little nostalgic groove this week. I discovered that familiar music pumps me up more than unfamiliar “pump you up” music. #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Deadlift PR today ☠️ 💪 455 lbs. 1x1 Big day in the gym today! Slow and grindy PR single, after what I thought was a squat PR (it was actually 10 lbs shy). It’s amazing how my mentality shifted as SOON as the bar broke off the floor. “This is so heavy it’s not gonna go” and then activating another part of my brain thinking,“yeah it’s heavy, you’ve been here before, keep pushing, don’t quit!” Heavy deadlift are never easy, but they’re always worth it. May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

When I bought these adjustable dumbbells, I assumed 50 lbs was a stretch goal and 80 lbs would be impossible. Like, way more than I’d ever need so these would be future proof. As of today, I have officially maxed out my dumbbells. I grabbed 80s for 3x9 on the incline bench press today! What do I do now? I already bought expensive adjustable dumbbells! #Barbell #Dumbbells #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Dumbbell presses today 💪 100 lbs. total (2x 50s) 50 lb dumbbells are extremely heavy, especially when lifting them over your head. I was shooting for 3x11 and ended up going 11-11-10. Couldn’t quite lockout that last rep - I’ll get it next time. As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, don’t hesitate to reach out to someone and tell them you’re thankful for them. Give a specific reason why - it will go a long way. May the Lord be praised. #Barbell #Dumbbells #StrengthTraining #NoQuarterNovember #Dominion

Bench press PR today 💪 225 lbs. 1x5 Today was an awesome day in the gym - finally got 2 plates on bench press for 5 reps. Big gains over my rough day in the gym yesterday. This officially completes my quest for the Standards 1.0 @ 5 reps. I will now accept my hyper-trophy 🏆 at any time. Not every day is going to be a win, but if you’re consistent and you keep showing up, and you fix your form, the gains will come. May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Deadlift PR today ☠️💪 435 lbs. 1x3 Before you get too excited, you should know my goal was 5 reps so I failed the assignment. You should also know I quit abruptly on the 4th rep because I thought the bar was “literally 3 feet in front of me.” Here’s the breakdown: This is still a PR for a 3RM. The bar was too far forward on all reps (especially shown by hip rise). These reps actually moved quite well (bar speed). The mental burden was off the charts (felt heavy). Still grabbed an incremental win, but it feels like a loss. This is a LOT of weight and I’m blessed to be moving it at all. Definitely harder to kill after today. May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Deadlift PR today ☠️💪 425 lbs. 1x3 Only thing better than hitting a squat PR today? *Also* hitting a deadlift PR!! Grabbed this triple after my squats today and these pulls were cruising! During the 3rd rep, I briefly considered a 4th rep, but instantly remembered I still had another set after this so I didn’t do it. Definitely still getting stronger! May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

Deadlift PR today ☠️ 💪 420 lbs. 1x3 Deadlift day is the best day of the week, especially when you smash through PRs. These felt awesome today - massively heavy but the bar was still moving fast. This is why you cannot lift according to your feelings. Still have a huge cheering section, still getting stronger, and still showing up even when it’s not convenient. This is how we win down here. May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion
