Dumbbell bench beat down. Uber!

Feet were pretty close together, pinkies were a finger width inside the rings on the bar. I always get stuck trying to figure out if my elbows should be out as wide as my bench, or tucked in like a close grip.

Mine are a hair inside my bench I think.

Great deadlifts Brute, rage is a great tool when lifting!

A mighty fine push press you got there!

Attitude is EVERYTHING in this game.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try next time around.

Ain't that the truth.

Great squat day today. Power cleans not so much, need to reset them since I'm doing them after squats. The weight I used when they were the first movement of the day just isn't going to happen after heavy squat singles. Videos soon.

Squat
95 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 1
315 x 1
315 x 1
315 x 1
315 x 1
315 x 2 -> To box right around parallel
250 x 1 -> decided not to do reps after this one. Re-racking the 315 went poorly, my wrists were not happy, and my form was a bit sloppy. I really don't want to do reps with bad form and train the wrong movement.

Power Clean
135 x 3
185 x 1
195 x 0/0/0, VERY close to catching each time, but just not enough pop.

Leg Press
170 x 10
260 x 5
350 x 5
440 x 4
530 x 15 PR
440 x 10
350 x 10
260 x 20

Goblet Squat
65 x 8
65 x 3 -> lower back was done.

Good work on the squats and PCs man. Try catching it low and you probably got 195 easy!

Nothing is better than consistent progression.

Thanks Swede! I'll focus on being low for the catch next time.

Videos and promised. Is the form perfect? No, but it is improving.

Depth was buried. Nice work. That's high bar right?
