Nice deadlifting brute!

Great deadlifting today. No records, but things felt more smooth and the new deadlift routine is starting out well.

Excellente. Seems things have turned around a bit and are headed in the right direction.

BTNS are really look good. Doing a 135 x 4 x 5 is no easy feat.

dildo licker

You pulled a phrase out of my verbal tool box.

DL: I saw you get in trouble last week for being too loud.
Me: Yeah, the kind of sucked
DL: You better lighten the weight up or I'll go tell them you're being too noisy again
Me: Ok, cool. Go run and tell daddy
DL: I'm serious!
Me: Turned away and pulled 415.

Bet you can't wait to deadlift in the garage.

THanks BtB. Last week and this week have really turned things around. Finally feeling like I'm going in the right direction again. And yes, I am REALLY looking forward to deads at home.

Thanks Jen! And congrats on the tire, I love them. Loads of fun, both in the flipping and the looks on neighbors faces!

Another good day. Squats were ok, but I was pretty fatigued by the time I got to them, and didn't make all my reps. Will stay at 205 until I get 20+

Bench
45 x 5
95 x 5
135 x 5 - good speed on these still
185 x 3 - slowed down a little
210 x 1
235 x 1 - super light
235 x 1 - light
235 x 1 - about right
235 x 1 - heavy
235 x 1 - felt like a ton, but went up PR # singles @ this weight.
205 x 5
205 x 3
205 x 2 - only hit required reps today, felt a little strain in the left biceps/shoulder tie in and didn't want to push it

Squat
Bar x 5
135 x 5 - ok
225 x 2 - good
275 x 1 - felt like nothing
205 x 6 - hitting depth was rough, hips were a little sore
205 x 6 - ok, but a little wobly
205 x 3 - VERY deep, very slow, high bar, but that was enough

In other news, I've never benched 235 before. Failed it every time I tried, and then skipped to 240 last week, so a new weight too. 275 here I come.

Nice work brute! Squat and bench together is great!

[MikeM]

Great work, Brute! Bench is definitly moving along very well. Yep, 275 soon. That'll be a big day!

[BendtheBar]

235 x 1 - felt like a ton, but went up PR # singles @ this weight.

One step slower to 300 though. Have a good weekend hombre.

Thanks Swede. They really kick my butt when done on the same day.

Thanks Mike! Really happy my bench is finally moving. Reps alone and singles alone didn't do much for it, but this combination of heavy weight and volume seems to be getting it moving.

Thanks BtB. I'm looking forward to 3/4/5.
