Cleans, Push Presses, and most importantly, a 20 lb PR! Lots of great stuff. Awesome work Brute.

[BendtheBar]

495 x 1 PR + 20 pounds

Almost to the big 5-0. Going to be fun smashing these together. I think when I come down we should do squats and deads on Saturday if that's ok with you, then maybe upper body Sunday morning.

Thanks Tank! Saturdays are some of my favorites, get to play around with heavy weight and do some cleans too.

I'm really looking forward to smashing some heavy weights with you guys. That setup sounds great to me, upper lower splits are always a lot of fun.

Great work, your squats (well everything) is really coming along. I think you were at 275 not so long ago for squats so you're flying. As for dildo licker, I'd like to see you accidentally on purpose drop a plate on his toe/head.
All their BS just fuels the fire my friend.

Nice 20lbs PR there, and good weight on those Push Presses.

Thanks Kuyt. It certainly fuels the fire. The amount my squat has increased in the past 6 months is more than they can squat total, so I shouldn't get too upset that they can't handle my awesomeness!

So, another BIG day today. I keep saying this, but each day seems bigger than the last. Squats were epic. 295 felt light and easy. 335 (a new PR), felt light on my back, but was difficult to get to parallel with.

335 x 1 -> PR + 10 pounds
245 x 5 -> PR reps at 245
245 x 3
245 x 2 -> 10 reps, moar weight.

Bench: A year ago, I thought I would never get past 4 reps @ 185.
Bar x 5
95 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
215 x 1
190 x 10

As long as it felt light, it's all good.

Killing it Brute.
