Thx brah.

Considering that. If I miss 250 again though, I might literally go insane.

Just don't. It's in your head, I know the strength is there.

[dk240t]

If you load the bar with 255, you can't fail 250.

Overview:

For some reason, I was really exhausted after this workout. Maybe the increase in weight played a role, I dunno. I ate a lot over the weekend, but sleep was so-so.

For squats, and I noticed this on the last set. I was trying to pump myself up and finish my last set. When coming outta the hole, for this particular set when I would drive with the heels, I really felt the transfer of power from my heels up to the sides of hips. That's usually the case, but not like this before. I was really feeling it in my hips like I haven't before. Is my form getting better, or is it worse now? lol

For bench, I decided to move my grip from rings on rings to pinkies on rings. Recently, I've been really feeling it in my shoulders during the volume days. It wasn't any lingering problem or anything, but I just didn't think it felt right. The reps felt more powerful and went up more smoothly. I'm pretty upset about changing my grip, but I only did it to see if it would make a difference and it did. Bench grips have always been a tricky thing for me. I know there's no universal right way to grip. Everyone has their own grip based on preference, measurements, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Rings on rings couldn't have been doing me bad cuz I think in the long run the wider grip will have helped. Just need to figure out if I should just keep it this way now.

Now I just need to decide what I wanna do for ID bench. I already know I'm gonna do 275x5 on squats though. 250 bench is haunting me right now, and I'm leaning towards lowering the weight again.

BUMP

Don't fear the 250 bro, if you miss it do a back off set (AMRAP) and keep adding weight to that set

Overview:

+ did some BW squats and just with the bar. Still got major DOMS in my hammies right now, and my sleep hasn't been so good. Been busy. Gonna be gettin a lot of rest today though.

I almost think I'm doing too little on this day. lol I dunno, maybe I'm actually doin it proper. Just light and boring. lol

[Ironlife]

Lolz nice stuff, you probably were only in the gym for like 5 mins!!

[Juggernaut0]

Felt like I was actually, yeah. lol

[FastCatChamp]

Dont sweat the 250......months from now it will be in the rear view and you will be hinking about another number.

[jshaw5]

Everything going alright?

[Juggernaut0]

Wassup fellas. Yeah, I've been gone for a few weeks, and I'll try and keep this short without being long and boring...

I went a period of 8 days without working out, and I just needed the break. Combination of personal stuff goin on, but also just a lack of motivation to go to the gym. I was making decent progress for a few months, then I just sort of hit a wall and I didn't feel like I was goin anywhere, like I was just going in circles. Maybe some of LIME's lack of motivation rubbed on me. lol But really, it was just frustrating and I felt like I was at the gym because I had to be, and not because I wanted to be.

So after the 8 day lay off, I decided to just hit a big reset button and work my way back up with LP. Aside from what's been said, I made my best progress when I ate like crazy, but in a good way. Ideally, I'd still like to get to 200 lbs. before starting a cut, but we'll see how things play out. Currently at 185 right now.

Worked out today, and got back up to 225 on squats. While I did 3x5 of 115 press. The pressing has been pretty unchallenging so far, and the squats haven't been too bad either. With squatting in particular, the weights haven't necessarily been hard, but just a little exhausting and I think it's just my conditioning that's down and tryin to get back. I also did 3x10 pullups today and they were strangely easy. I'm either gettin a stronger upper back/gettin better at pullups, or I must be cheating somehow. lulz 1 quick note on squats, the last few workouts, when I squat, I feel this discomfort in my right glute. It's not anything lingering, it only bothers me a little when I actually squat. Dunno if it's a form issue, I dunno.

Just hope everyone is doin well, and all you guys are awesome, and I apologize for not having been around for a bit. Everything is better now personal stuff wise and so far so good as far as the lifts go.

I will not stop until I become a human juggernaut. Brb being weak as fuk first... lol....

[BabyOilBrah]

Glad to hear you cleared up whatever personal stuff you had going on, now stop being a bitch and lift heavy! Resume logging nao.

[ddog171]

Welcome back.

[jshaw5]

Welcome back, glad everything is ok. My guess would be the glute discomfort is a tightness issue. Did you ever get a foam roller? If not, get one already and start rolling that IT band. Also get a lacrosse ball for the glute/piriformis stretch from agile 8.

Doubt it, I've been tellin this dude to get a foam roller for like a year lol.

Foam rollers are always that thing that people keep telling you to get, and when you finally get it and start using it, you feel like a moron for not listening and starting to use it sooner. Nothing seems to be able to change that.

[DominationStation]

Glad to see you're back, but you, ILO, and everyone else need to stop letting LIME influence you guys so much.

[BabyOilBrah]

Wait are you shaking your head at the first sentence or the 2nd? LOL

[Juggernaut0]

Update: Today 245 squats, challenging, but not bad.

205 bench. Slightly challenging, but pretty smooth.

Also did pullups.

Closer and closer back to 275 squats, and I'm tryin to get my diet back on track and aim for 5k cals.

[jshaw5]

You going to resume logging on a regular basis now?

I was going to when I felt like it was worth it. No one cares about 185 squats. LOL

But I think I will now.

Its important to see how people get to 250 squats, though...it isn't by magic. Its by starting somewhere and slowly moving up.

[jshaw5]

I'd rather read about 185 lb squats than nothing at all.
