    :joy:

    I'm straight up trying to pimp my squatting to help me make money for my wedding- not going to lie- there will be random squats. EVERYWHERE.

    I have nothing to add of my own, everything is a battle right now it seems.

    Great lifts in here and so much silliness.

    @McCloud33 the leaping from bar to bar is great. I'm pretty sure my lack of any sort of coordination would kill me trying that. :lol:

    Also @DopeItUp I shifted my bar yesterday a hair down the back and tried to stack up my lats more- and I was surprised at how good it was- I'm wondering if I was just TO far down last time I was toying with low bar that caused the problems.

    @McCloud33 I'm currently sitting at 170-172 lbs. So nothing fancy but working my way up....little by little.

    Yeah I've been messing with bar position a bit lately too. Amazing what such a small difference can make in the feel of the squat.

    I just switched to low bar today. First ever heavy low bar workout and I hit #300 easy. I had been sitting at 285 since October on high bar.

    Squat - FAIL - - because we don't PR every time we attempt one........

    Arg. So close @jmule24!

    Look at it this way, you are now beginning to flirt with three plates. For me, after breaking that three plate barrier has really given me the mompntuemum to keep adding weight to the bar without two much consternation. Load and go. I bet next time, you'll nail 3 plates dead nuts.

    Sumo DL (PR) - looks like I left some in the tank for next time! (did I hitch at the end????)

    IMO, no... no hitch. Even if there is a bit on that side, at the very least you would have received two white lights for the lift and thus it would count.

    And last but not least. Here's my bar flying video that I promised earlier in the week. 4' gap, 6' gap, 4' gap. People kinda gave me the side-eye this morning with that "what is this guy doing" look LOL

    This is not pretty. Last week was the third week of 531. I repped 350 for 5 or 6 reps in a very ugly, not even a face a mother could love manner. Hell IMO, I didn't even hit depth.

    This week is a deload week, and since I suck at deloads I just had to go back in redeem myself. From Thursday.

    Can't always be pretty I suppose. I had trouble in the set-up and execution from top to bottom. But as my friend pointed out, I did power through this lift pretty strong, so there is always that. Yesterday still bothered about last weeks squats, I trained at a CF gym (for free) and hit some heavy singles of 350, 365 with no mirror. Didn't get any video, but like the Harkonen threat on Arrakis, I know the depth was there and real.

    Oh I should mention -- but no video -- since I was in the gym later on Thursday there were plenty of bro for spots. I nailed another 315 lb bench press. Pause was suspect, but this gives me confidence that I will be able to increase my platform best bench press by a few more pounds next meet on April 23rd.

    Today (Sunday) -- family now-allowing -- a drive an hour west of me I will be training at strongman gym. The gym owner has a gaggle of Atlas stones and other strongman equipment to train with. Please family, let me go, let me go and lift this stuff.

    Nicely done Matt! @nakedraygun yup. Some days are grindy but those are the best days.

    @kelly_e_montana nice! I noticed a huge power increase when I switched to low bar as well.

    Currently working on leg drive for bench right now. It's a kinda frustrating process but the end result is more than worth it. 77.5 was feeling the easiest for triples it ever has, and was even able to grind up a rep with lats and hamstrings in complete spasm. We are playing around to find the best position for my feet that is going to allow for lots of leg drive with zero risk of hips popping up.

    I am jelly. very jelly.

    My goal is 275 this year- I had a dirty 250- so I feel like 25 pounds is doable. maybe. LOL

    @jmule24 I didn't see a hitch. Nicely done on both- you could have had that squat- would have been a grinder- but you had it. I faith!!

    Thanks for the feedback Matt! It's good knowing I've got more in the tank for sumos and @jimmmer made a great point I didn't full commit to the squat. I need to get tighter.

    Did some Atlas Stone training yesterday.

    Second series.

    Third Series:

    Lifting stones reminded me of stacking hay when I was a kid.

    Last lift, 200b/91kg.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ky9Vi1bMd8

    On this last lift, I bruised my chest and after that I called it quits. No need to push it and aggravate it further.

    Rough morning at the gym. Had company over last night, so I didn't get to bed on time...hit the snooze a few extra times and so I only had time for my squat this morning. Looks ugly to me. Fighting my knees caving the whole time. Only two more weeks on this cut though, so hopefully they'll start getting better again as I up the calories over the next 6-12 weeks.

    https://youtu.be/PlFzVfTGLSg 190 and yes I'm reaching the limit for sure.

    I have 195 and 200 yet to do- but I'm guessing 195 maybe it- I'll attack that on Wednesday.

    Also, a bent over row vid.


    And boring but I like my back in it. Finish off back day with pull-ups. Amazing how much harder they are after a full back workout. Lol.
