Looking good Brute. At this rate you'll be pulling 700 before you know it.

Thanks Jim! No rack yet, waiting until i move (about 4 months from now) to get any more equipment. Zercher squats might be fun, could do those with the yoke.

Thanks T-Bone! After maxing on Monday and doing that deadlift challenge, a normal day seems lack luster, but progress is progress!

Thanks BtB! 700 is a dream, and one that I hope will happen by 2015.

Thanks Ravi! World records will fall. Maybe

Pretty good day in the gym. Moved up to a whole wheel per side, lost a ton of reps, but I'm repping 135 for OHP. That's got to count for something.

Clean, then OHP for reps
Bar x 4
95 x 5
115 x 3
135 x 7
135 x 5
135 x 4
135 x 4 - 18 total. meh. More next week!

BB Row
95 x 5
185 x 3
235 x 8
235 x 6
235 x 4 - gym was chaotic tonight and couldn't find any 2.5s, so a 10 pound jump. stay here next week

DB Bench
50 x 5
60 x 5
70 x 11
70 x 10
70 x 7
70 x 4 - lololololol wanted to get out so only rested about 15 seconds on the last set. i can tell!

Pretty strong OHP Brute!! Rows aren't too shabby either

[Squatter]

Indeed, 1 wheel per side is a great milestone on OHP. I remember just a few years ago my max was 95 and that was push pressing! Solid overall volume as well. I reckon it counts as cardio to help create that deficit. Who the heck wants to reduce food intake!!

Squat destruction today. I'm honestly numbed by the higher rep squats lately and need some time off. However, the reps have been working. So what to do? My plan for now is to use 275 until I can hit 30 reps over 4 sets, then jump to 295, etc. Give me some relatively heavy work at first, then grow into the weight for reps, and repeat. Just want to run it for a bit and see how it works.

Squat
135 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 1
315 x 1
275 x 5
275 x 5
275 x 5
275 x 3 - might have had 4, but didn't feel like pushing it
315 x 1

Leg Press
350 x 30

Squat vids later if I get a chance. Also, I have the bar a little lower than I thought on squats, may be part of what is bugging my wrist.
