It begins.

Congrats on the PR; you're probably good for more, considering you hit it after a ton of other work.

Everything was slow. Hopefully my deadlift starts looking decent soon, and hopefully I can push myself to update this log regularly.

Bench felt pretty quick, once I stopped screwing around and used some leg drive. doubles at 225 feel a lot better than they used to, I'm sure I could have done a triple at some point.

I had to kind of rush things today because I got in very late, but everything was feeling crappy. My barpath was everywhere and my arch was weak. I went in hoping for triples at 220, but that wasn't happening. Next time.

I just have to mention that I'm pretty sure you're nocturnal by the times that you post at.

Note that Monty works at a donut shop and has still never brought donuts to a meeting.

Sleep doesn't fit in with Monty's macros.

No, my standing PR is 405. I just wanted to squat something heavy that day. I was spent afterward, so I called it quits.

I didn't get anything done since that last deadlift session, and I don't want to bore you with my list of excuses, so here it goes.

12/15
Squats
115x2x10 (it was already on the bar)
185x8
225x10
275x9, 10
335x6

Bench
45xsomething
95x2x10
135x10
175x11
185x6
205x2x3
Messed around with 135 for a bunch of sets with varying grip widths, mainly trying to keep my shoulders back since I haven't been doing that very well.

I may go in later tonight and get some extra stuff done, but that's it for now.

Note: Squatting for more than 5 reps is exhausting. I'll keep such things to a minimum so I don't get rhabdo and die.

Belt squats are very awkward I almost fell over twice trying to do the last set. I should have recorded it to send with my application to Team Awful.
