Thats cool man. Im sure it'll help keep the motivation high.

I want to do a powerlifting meet, but getting a weekend off is almost impossible for me while I'm at this shop. So for now, I'll just keep training like I was going to lol

And fuck ground chorizo. I thought it was higher in protein. Stupid ass pork proving yet again that aside from tasting good, it provides no benefits to my diet

oh wait, reading > me

Apparently they rate chorizo as 2oz per serving not 4oz like they do with beef and turkey lol. So in 4oz 440cal, 36g fat, 24g pro. Obviously higher in fat and cal, but I need that stuff.

I wonder what Brats are rated at? lol. I know in a couple weeks I'll be down in Minneapolis for a car show and That's all I'll be eating lol

Today was heavy squats for me. Worked up to 5 sets of 2-3 in lowbar squat, oly squat, pause squat and front squat.

My last rep of my last set of oly squat at 360 got really wobbly. Didnt think I was gonna make it up hahahah. But I did barely.

Front squats are getting easier now that Im getting used to the movement. worked up to 5sets of 3 at 225. So thats progressing well.

i usually do bb shrugs but wanna improve my db grip

BB shrugs help a lot for squat and deadlift grip. And my grip is kinda shitty. anything over like 425 deadlift my left hand start to be a fuckshit. So I started doing the BB shrug to help. I did 4 sets of 15 at 275. But when I do the side grip like the way you grip when DB shrugging, I easily do 450 for sets of 15. I wish my lame ass gym had a trap bar lol
