*****

175 seems too easy after 2 sets... yea... 175 is way too light... guess it took a week to get back in a groove.. 10lbs bump next week.
495 x 2 was pretty chill.... was scared before i lifted writing it out, dunno why.
feeling pretty strong.... was not expecting that

[wick]

495x2 is a solid start. What will be your last double on it and estimated 1RM?

[Bum-Life]

Week 1
-------
weight - 216.6 lbs --> 217.4lbs
body fat - 24.9 % --> 25 %
hydration - 51.6 % --> 51.5 %
muscle - 39.3% --> 39.2 %
bone - 13.8 % --> 13.8 %


sweet, according to my scale, i've just gotten fatter in 1 week.

[Bum-Life]

495x2 is a solid start. What will be your last double on it and estimated 1RM?

I used 550 as a 1RM for the program... 100% based off gut "yea, guess I can do that today". Not sure what the last double will be, just gonna take the 10lb jumps and see where it takes me.

Please Knees dont explode....

Knee still kinda dicked from bmx crash.. gonna test it today, just chill day and up the weight as i go.. assuming i can squat bodyweight / the bar first.

made it to a comfortable 370x3... which I really cant complain, no pain, so thats a win. gonna probably deadlift as scheduled.

225 x 10's were actually really good... maybe better than my usual 225x20ish.. more legs, less cardio

*****

seems that i banged out an extra rep last week... so jumping to 310... one more step to go before real weights start again.

been taking bigger breaks during pull up ladders... gonna do em properly.. (after first 2 lazy sets).. so reps will be lower probably..
ok more is not better... less is more etc... last 3 sets were a good pump. barely any rest.
realized how much time ive been wasting lol

unsure if I should redo or bump to 315....

405's got really easy as i warmed up
520's were really easy... dunno if good day or just pussy weight... weighed in a bit low today too... no complaints

glad i went for 320, worked fine, no struggle.... bonus curls at the end.
