Meanwhile Im just over here being weak as fuck. 505 squat, 325 bench, maybe 450 deadlift. Weighing in at 244 last I checked. Ive been doing a lot less deadlifts and more bentover rows and shrugs. Rowing sets of 275, shrugging 405. No competing or shows for me hahahah

Down to 242 on Friday. Working my way slowly to the low 230s. Trying not to lose too much strength last I did last time

Havent been to the gym since last tuesday for squats. work + life got in the way. Been eating like complete shit. I feel like Ive lost 10 or so pounds the last week.

Today is squats. Set of as many reps as possible at 455 until I think Im gonna die

Change in plans since the squat racks were full. Worked up to a PR on the bent over row. 2 sets of 3 reps at 295

I havent been here in awhile I got up to 242 on the bulk, Im 1 week into cutting and down to 230, I'll be doing a slow cut for 20ish weeks, Hoping I can stay above 200 and be under 10% bf. But I have a feeling ill be around 195,

Still in the mid 230s over here. 236 on friday. Lost minimal strength after cutting down from living in the 250s this winter lol. Hit 495 squat and 305 bench last week. both with ease

[benz88]

Im on week 2 of keto again, and week 3 of dieting. Sitting at 223 when I woke up this morning. Strength is still there so thats good. Buddy took this last weekend, Love doing heavy rack pulls for back day

[Average_Jerk]

how much do you pull off the floor?

[benz88]

biggest dead has been 455x8. Never done any singles or tried heavier.

nice dude

my deadlift sucks lol. I hurt my back over a year ago, then again about 3 weeks ago. So I dont train deadlifts too often. I'll do them for a month maybe, then take a month off. So inconsistent.

Thats like me for squats, Got up to 385 and quit. Switched to a hack squat machine and havent looked back. My legs have grown pretty good from just hacks
