TFW college students can afford multiple pairs of $200 weightlifting shoes while I can't justify the purchase as a capably-employed adult.

Ain't this the truth!!

I have a good pair of Romaleo I's, and can't justify spending another $200 on a new pair!!

Soon enough you'll be in my shoes, haggling with mortgage brokers and crying every time you look at your checking account and see 9 recurring payments set up every month. You guys don't realize how good you got it...

Then again, when I finally finish my home gym complete with a $3,000 180kg Eleiko competition set I'll be sure to post pics.

195 squat yesterday, switching back to high bar is coming along nicely.
200 by month end would be amazing.

also doing a crossfit total for the lols on friday.

have you checked out any cfits in your new area? theres a chance they have an old set of squat stands/rack that you can get for free. there was one in LA that agreed to give me a set of squat stands fo free

[DaTruth1]

tfw you're so weak and haven't done pure strength workouts in so long that you can have linear gains every week.

Been doing clean pulls for 5's once a week for the past few weeks. Work up to a heavy set of 5 without sacrificing positions, then do back offs at -10% and -20% until form break down. Worked up to 145 today, slow as hell and shaky positions...



edit: just realized that is only 3 plates... I am officially weaker than the average gym rat.

i have a small-ish power rack

would rather have stands

As of today, my best front squat is 94% of my best back squat, anyone else have a ratio this high or higher?
Did some heavy cleans, maxed out on BTN push presses and then went to front squats. At first I wasn´t planning to go too heavy as my last 2 front squat sessions had been below par so I thought I´d focus on getting more reps in at lower weights but as everything felt so light, I felt that it would be a crime to not push the weight up.

OHH also i did front rack walking lunges w/o a belt! SO HARD! i did them with 80 kee. 10 reps. 5 each leg. hopefully some carryover to FS and jerk stability.

Let us know how those lunges turn out!

I do not have any 1RM tested, but:

Best Front Squat Triple: 130kg x 3
Best Back Squat Triple: 136kg x 3
96% ratio.

:/ honestly feelsbadman.jpeg I think my back squat will end up holding me back; unless my front squat just surpasses it by magic.

[feces99]

there's a snatch one, someone posted a thread on it, incoming...

why the hell would they use a lift that he caught forward for the vid

[CuriousGM]

I'm looking for bio grad schools up north tbh, some place where there's lots of pine trees and snow lol. Who knows, maybe Canada is in my future.
