285x6 PR?

Um... what?

my all time atg squat PR is 315x5. but after my squat plummeted a while back (when i had tendonitis and switched from parallel to ATG and also dropped 20lbs of bw) my squat dropped to tag 315x5, then slowly over time (i forget how this happened, i think cuz i switched to squatting only 1x a week) my squat hit rock bottom at 275x3.

Even though 285x5 isn't technically a PR... its more of a "local" PR. i put it there to keep myself from feeling down because I'm STILL under a 315x5 atg squat.

Its tuesday, and I really feel like going in to deadlift today. I squatted yesterday though so I'll hold off on working out a day early. But man i feel great.

Took in nap in a weird position though, and my lower back is hurting a ton right now.

Super happy that I'm consistently improving now. Really hoping to get through old plateaus which were more or less:

bench 225x5
atg squat 315x5
deadlift 365x5
row 235x5
 
espeically that bench one. that's the one i always get close to and then just get stuck. FOR YEARS.

Note: Hitting a PR in the bench press but then hitting the same reps in the Incline DB right after is still a PR for the Incline DB... it's much harder to incline 55'sx12 after benching 210/3x6 instead of 210/3x5

I rest only 60sec between my last bench set and first incline DB set

That was changing into regular clothes after my shift, in the locker room.

From now on I'm doing absolutely zero cheating on lateral raises. This will let me know if I'm actually improving and not just cheating more, or vice versa. Maybe that's why it was stuck for a while.

Also, recent pic. No gym pump here. This was at work:

I dont get it. Bench, squat, dead, rows, all increasing.
Shoulders and pull ups have stalled or decreased.

I look pretty damn good though. Friends have said they noticed a difference out of nowhere. I do to. It must be the creatine. That must also be why my main lifts aren't stalling anymore :)

Can move up to 340lbs for the deadlift now :)
I'll be at 365x5 in a few months probably.
My back is getting pretty strong. Rows and deads are consistently improving. Pullups not so much... but that could be cuz I'm 5lbs heavier.

Eccentric is more of a RDL. I dont remember where I was reading this, but it was recommended to do this on the way down as it keeps less stress on the lower back

will try to keep bar against shins more
