Squaterday
Solid session today. I've been making some decent progress on the squats recently, and it's getting harder to improve each and every workout, but I managed to get an extra rep at 345, and topped out at 455 for the first time in a while. Was happy with the squats.
Did a different exercise for calves today, simply because I was running short on time and needed to superset them in with the hamstring work in order to get both muscle groups done, and this machine was close to the leg curl, while the other calf stations are on the other side of the gym. Was not bad. Ten sets of hams and calves in 20 minutes.

For a second there, I thought to myself "Oh hey, look, I can pull the same amount of weight as FLEX on his wide grip pulldowns" But then I saw the number of sets (I may be good for two sets of 8) and then I saw "behind the neck." Um, nope. No thanks. Drats!! You win again. hahaha. and again....and again....and again.... and always. :-) Good volume up in herah.

Good work, especially good when you consider the week we're having and the amount of sleep we're not getting.

Deadlifts are scheduled for tomorrow, but there is a 99.9% probability that I will bump them to Saturday. My Dad is in town and staying with us for the night. Haven't seen him since last spring, so I don't see myself trotting off to bed at 10pm so I can get up at 4am to train.

Thanks Bill. Working towards a 5 plater again.
Sooooooo smoked. Actually had some leg doms yesterday.
Thanks mater.
Well stop keeping up so late, you little vixen.
Thanks FIM. Been super focused last couple of months, and it's showing (I think). Very smooth these days but I think I am bigger than I was last winter and about 12 lbs lighter.
I'm still gonna train, ya wanker. Saturday afternoon I shall show the weekend crowd what a real deadlift looks like.Insta: flexjs

LOL!
Food agrees with your strength Flex. I agree that you should do some PL meet even if it's just the DL & squat events.You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Been eating 5-6 whole eggs every day, 2 scoops whey, and red meat for lunch and dinner almost every day. Supplementing with BCAAs and Creatine.
Not progressing as fast as I would like, but I feel noticeably bigger and stronger (although a little fatter too).
Will try to get some progress pics up this weekend.
I did a little pose-down for Lisa last night, and judging by the look on her face, things are moving in the right direction.Insta: flexjs

I LOL'd the other day when I was in the gym and saw a little message on one of the TV screens....
"Please refrain from staring as it can make other members feel uncomfortable"
Next time you're setting up for Deads or Squats and you see someone giving you the side-eye (checking for chalk) maybe you should report them to the manager for this.

Power Saturday
Today was my make-up session from yesterday. Had a nice visit with my Dad and didn't get to bed until well past 11, so no chance of getting up at 4am.
Deads were a chore simply because this forearm issue has flared up again and my grip sucked. Everything else felt good and I didn't want to waste a session due to grip issues, so I dusted off my leather lifting straps for a few sets. First time I've used them in almost 2 years. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, I guess.
Regardless; I didn't get the 545 that I was looking for, despite two valiant efforts. One without straps and one with. Got it about 6 inches off the floor both times. Maybe next week...
Leg press was pretty good; ventured into some new territory. 50lbs on top of a 1,000lb+ press isn't exactly a huge leap, but progress is progress.
Since I was in no hurry I threw in a few sets of calf presses on the leg press machine as I was unloading it.

Strong work today brother. Well done. Those deads look good and I have no doubt you'll be pulling that 545 next time.
Good progress with the leg press too. Great job today my friend.
