Hit some new numbers. I kinda knew I wouldn't get the 170, but stubbornly went for it anyway. It was actually pretty damn close - if I'd done a lighter set like 150 instead of the 160, I might have gotten it. Oh well, next time. Still pretty happy with the results.

Nice job on the press. How much do you weigh nowadays?

 

[Deeko]

Thanks. 165.6 this morning...juuust missed a BW press. The collars had to be .3lbs each....right?

Goddamnit, quit with the big presses. I can overhead press almost what you can, but am nowhere near where you are for bench. I hit 200 for 2 today, which is a PR and felt pretty good about. Damn you Solid lift, man.

Thanks guys

As if my terrible power cleans weren't enough, more evidence that I lack any explosiveness: my push press is on pretty much the same level as my strict press.

PR on bench - 300 was close, not quite. When I hit my old PR (290) I weighed 175, vs 166.4 yesterday, so pretty solid. I think I need to adjust my feet positioning though, my ass is barely scraping the bench which is a no-no.

I did my boring rehab squats today as well, and managed to do 135x5x3 without any pain or tightness, then or now, a few hours later. First time I've gone over 100 in awhile. A good sign, but still a long way to go.

I have a video of the 300, but apparently Android is an asshole and saves files in a format Windows Movie Maker doesn't understand. I'll upload it later. New PR.

 

[brikis98]

Congrats. Looks like you'll be benching 3 wheels before long.

 

[Deeko]

Thanks. Hopefully...I'd like to hit a 315 by the end of the year.

Squats are feeling good. I'm going to slow the progression, though - don't want to go up too fast and aggrevate the injury.

Kind of an off day. Chinups are holding relatively steady. On one hand, that's frustrating. On the other hand, I've gained about 15lbs since I hit that PR for the chinup contest, so holding steady actually means going up.

Something didn't feel right. My right tricep was oddly tight on the extension of each rep. Considering I was at my normal gym without a spotter, figured it was best to call it a day. Better than hurting something 3 weeks out from a meet.

 

[Deeko]

Side note - having my app recording all of this and syncing it to the website is fantastic for when I forget to post my last workout. <3 you, DeekFit. If only the other people downloading it liked it as much as I did!

 

[Deeko]

Speaking of which, I certainly just made my job of posting in this thread easier with the latest update....
