JTurner's Eat, Lift, Eat Log

[LtL]

180 squat was way better than your one other day. 185 was better than both. Work on that upper back tightness and keep your chest up (although hard to see from that angle).

105 technique was spot on. Look how your triceps never drop lower than your back on the bench, that is perfect. You flatten out at the bottom on the next two but you still muscled them up. Arching hard is not easy after heavy squats.

190 was butter. Second 215 looked pretty good. Lose the shorts in favour of a singlet, little bit of talc on the quads and you have that clean.

Overall - Looking very strong.

Huge! After that first attempt I thought you were done with that weight.

Thanks LtL . I was surprised at 185, thought I might have cut depth or something but just set up a lot better. Decided to stick with some paused squats as they really test my ability to stay tight.

Bench is up and down constantly, things go out the window when there's weight on the bar. Will keep working on it though.

Ye I need to get hold of a singlet.

Thanks again LtL, always appreciate your feedback.

Me too , it was brutal! I have red spots all across my shoulders which I would assume are burst blood vessels, that's a first .

That's proper lifting there mate. I know that deadlift lockout fight all too well. Keep on charging, you're doing great

Great squating J! Oh crap just realized your squats are catching up to mine.

Also your form looked very good for a pr attempted!

Nice! Battle scars. Never had that one happen.

That is winning. Mind over body. Force of will.

Haha, I'm happy to hear that, just that monster bench and deadlift to chase down, I wouldn't be too worried about the total just yet.
