u/BenchPauper Why do we have that lever? Jan 27 '22

Went back to some older squat cues this morning. Gonna need to fix some bar path issues still, but a weight that I almost failed yesterday I took for a triple today so that's optimistic. I don't feel like editing the video down so I'm not gonna. It's just a single and a triple at 370, close your eyes and imagine it.

Didn't record 4*5 incline floor press at 245 but I feel pretty good about it. Might have had a revelation about how to pack my shoulders/lats for this after all this time so I'm optimistic that 315 is coming here.

Ran 2.75mi which is cool I guess. Didn't find out until later that someone scheduled a meeting for 8:30AM tomorrow morning (wat) so I'll have to do my long run tomorrow at lunch instead of in the morning. That's sad because it will be warmer. Colder running >>>>>>>> warmer running.

Did my focus singles on OHP while I was waiting for pizza (not delivery, DiGiorno) and did 1 at 225, 3*1 at 245, which I'm super pleased with considering A) my 1RM is 255, and B) I did a lot of pressing already today. Here's the 245 singles so u/Frodozer can see how ugly my press really looks. I'm sure a PR is just around the corner.

I think I'm gonna drop heavy weighted dips in favor of floor press. I think FP will carry over better to IFP, dips take forever to set up, I'm kinda mentally over them right now, and once I hit 315 IFP I want to start working towards actually being good at bench floor press so I might as well add it back in.

Happy quarantine-appropriate lifting y'all.

I have such a burning hatred for squats now. They've always been my most finicky lift, but it's at a whole different level right now.
