    Happy Monday friends 😁 today was light day, just Bi’s and Tri’s followed by some cardio 😳 I even ran a mile 😂 it’s been a long time since I ran, hoping to get my heart used to heavy pumping again to help with my suicides.

    I'm still busy trying to break the cycle of shame. I'll be back in...an undetermined amount of time.

    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).

    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.

    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!

    Sounds like you're in the right mindset and your results show. You're doing great things!

    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.

    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.
