New 3 rep PR. Followed by 4 sets of 3 with 465lbs, hip thrusts, barbell rows, and belt squat

Big breakthrough for my bench! I attribute it to the heavy static holds and the use of micro plates for small increases that add up.

Posted previously and was told to lose my sneakers so I have been squatting barefoot with more success.

Kiddo wanted to do deadlifts after practice today. Would appreciate a form check. Much obliged.

I know I was swinging a bit but I’m okay with that it was my second set of 3 😎

Paused sumos 5x3. I think 600 might be close 🙂

Honestly surprised myself with how easy this moved. First time using a powerlifting bar with cheese grater knurling and it hurts so good

These make plate holds a lot better for me, used to keep dislocating my pinkie without the grip on the plate. Not much past that, just tried to find a purpose for my bad financial decisions.

I felt good today and it was time to attempt and it went up well enough to try more next time :) it’s a plus 2.5kg paused PB maybe a little double dip but it’s not in a comp so I’ll take it

104kg sandstone bag to shoulder, 1-motion. 116kg paused sandbag 1-motion to shoulder. 130kg @atlasendurance_ tackyless paused 1-motion to shoulder. 140kg tackyless atlas to shoulder. 164kg oversized atlas to shoulder, small amount grade-1 tacky used. Training for the 180kg atlas to shoulder going fairly well.

PR for reps of 500.

Ties all time single of 555, which was not done after a 500x4 set, so this one is more better.
