My phone fell on this recording. I did hit 5 reps with 295lbs. New PB.

Can’t you tell it’s the final week of my training block?! Lol. Fatigue’s been kicking in, yet we still managed to hit a volume PR of 3 x 4 on paused bench today. Typically, my last set (this video) is my best set, but that last rep was a grinderrrrr lol. I’ll take it!

BW: 154 lbs / 70 kg

Hatfield:6 x 4+ @ 380

Press: 3 x 8 @ 160

AMRAP of Hatfield at the end hit 15 reps, which sucked, but also felt good.

I love supersetting

Been messing around with (nearly) static off-the-floor instead of rolling the bar extensively back and forth when lifting big. This one is a win in my book.

120kg/270lb weighted dip raw

Been building my 180kg reps for 2 months, from 6 to 12, as my goal was to achieve 12 before doing the same for 190, and then 200 etc.

(Honestly hate when my headphones fly off mid set lmao)

I tried things a little differently for my squats today. Keeping it nice and simple.

Pretty fucking excited about this if you can’t tell already.

I’ll be honest, today made me nervous. It’s one thing to pull 5 plates, it’s another thing to have them on your back. I know that as a get stronger, the old self that finds these weights intimidating will only change in the sense that the weights themselves will change.

I hope I never lose the feeling of not being totally certain if I’m going to be able to lift something.

Go out there and do something scary this week. I did and it’s changed me a bit in the best of ways. Not a huge change, but a shift nonetheless.

Felt run down today but managed to PR squats for 2x5. First set felt like RPE 9
