So I spent the first part of the year cutting and my weights after increasing for a bit really stagnated. Just started bulking about a month ago and tried the two plates today for the first time. Did a warmup set of 185 and then 225 for 7 and then 5 unassisted. Another set of 185 for 10 to close it out. Just posting cause it made me happy to be raising the weights!!!

225lbs for 7 reps at a BW of 167lbs is damn f'cking excellent lift! I was almost ready to call BS!
But seeing these light folks lifting some impressive numbers on here I am not sure anymore!
