Those light days can be nice at times.2 -

I’m still here, everyday. Enjoying everything you guys are posting. I’m still fallowing that 5x5 program I posted here. I’ve added some lbs to my lifts but the same routine.
You guys are killing it.2 -
Admittedly Im the worst trying snap a gym pic but here is this morning during leg presses. Deadlifts were accomplished as well.5 -
No gif yet, but made it to 290 parallel box squat for 5x5! Feeling great coming back from literally nothing.
Last year at this time my back was wrecked with a bad disc and had sciatica. Rehabbed it for months, then started back at 85 lbs and just slowly added to the 5x5. A couple of deloads.
300 should be soon. Still trying to lose the weight I put on last year while injured (which was a lot lol).5 -

Wow!!!! 290 😳 for 5x5 👏🏻 Great job!!!! I feel you though I used to run distance like 20 + miles at a time but got injured.... I ran the past two days and barely hit a mile, my knee somehow still hurts from the injury years ago, so trying to take it slow it def sucks tho.1 -

Thank you! Yeah, the injuries we accumulate as we age is wearing. Taking it slow is the right approach with injuries for sure. Especially with things like back and knee. We need those to walk! Amazing job on all of your strongman stuff, BTW!Fantastic work.
Thank you!Nice job!
Thank you!1 -
295lb x 1 Bench PR from last week. 31M 6’1” ~175lbs. Been a while since I maxed out and that was after some working sets getting up to 2 x 2 at 275.

Sounds like you're in the right mindset and your results show. You're doing great things!1 -
Thanks, though I think the frame rate on the GIF and the angle is deceiving; watching the video at full res the ascent was glacial and my lower back started to cramp as I got close to lockout. I am happy with it though. I've been cutting since the start of the year and lifts still have been going up. There's an instagram-based virtual competition I'm planning to do in mid-May so I have time to cut for a few more weeks and then shift to maintenance. I think 300 is in the bank and I've got an outside shot at 315 with some luck and extra food for a few weeks.1 -

You are all killing it! Love seeing (and reading) about your wins!
I somehow hurt my knee over the weekend and had some family and personal issues come up, so I've been in survival mode. No lifting, some emotional eating.
I'll try to get back to being badass soon. Keep posting in the meantime! You all make me want to keep going!5
