Sick pressing. 405x1 written down is visually stimulating even if there is no vid.

Yea I guess, its a nice bench mark but I have hit it at multiple points in this journal and really should be repping it at this point. I was actually surprised I got it. Negatives + paused bench really helped with power off the chest I guess.
Damn near maxing out on your 3rd benching set. feelsgoodman.jpeg
dam stomped the bench!!!

The 455 was hard as fuark (srs). This has to be one of the first times I have done sumo so this may very well be a PR. I have sore muscles that I never even knew I had. Oddly enough when I went to go rack the 455 I picked up conventional style and it flew up lolidunno.jpg

I was spent. IDK if it was the double sessions, low cals or just getting back into it but I had no stamina. Also, I couldn't pull 405 double overhand. This is probably because I have gotten fatter and my hands got bigger/more swollen. Always had a better grip the less fat I got. Also, the sorest muscle for me right now is my rear delts and lateral delts... lol da faq? It was actually painful to try and turn my steering wheel.

[QUOTE=im2manly;978886193]yea I know. 80% of the battle is getting into the gym right now.[/QUOTE]I apologize I havent read through all 4k replies. I think the first post said you work out at home though. Is that still true or did you join somewhere? Props for keeping up this journal man. 2+ years and going strong which isnt something I see a lot of. as you said a few posts up. consistency is key!

I switched over to a gym probably about a year and half ago (maybe more, IDK). Yea at this point getting into the gym has been a real bitch. I am trying though.

Ah, assumed so just wanted to ask to be sure. What's prohibiting you from getting time in?

I work long hours (9-11 hours every day), fiancee, bar exam/application, etc. Just life in general. But I have made much more of an effort, as of late, to get back into the swing of things.

Definitely know these feels. Well can't say I know about bar exam/application lol. Lifting is obviously important to you (only reason you have a journal this length) but as you know life is all about balance. Lifting is a lifestyle and it will always be here, don't kill other areas and opportunities of your life just to get a workout in. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to cut back and just maintain while you take care of other important things in your life. Spread yourself too thin and EVERYTHING will suffer. Keep pushing for improvement in all areas of life, while maintaining that balance. Don't beat yourself up if you don't get in as many sessions as you want man. From your numbers it doesent look like you are doing too bad anyway lol.

Thanks. Not overly proud though. My numbers are pretty much the same from 2 years ago. I typically go hard for 2 weeks then take a month off lol. Hopefully if I regulate intensity I can get more consistent.
