Ive never heard of those before! I like the glute involvement.i feel like it would give me insane hamstring cramps though. I think ill stick with back extensions because i really want to hammer my lower back too.

I'm hitting PR's all over the place. But I just realized something interesting: Usually when I PR like this, I know it will happen beforehand because I'll consistently have that motivation to get to the next workout. I'll look forward to it and can't wait to do it.

Right now I don't have that. I'm just going through the motions.

I definitely credit these PR's to creatine monohydrate. I was stalling for months... until about a week after I started taking creatine mono again. Even before that, I took a de-load and that didn't help. So I think it's the creatine. Not to mention I have a much bigger pump while lifting weights. I'm bigger AND more cut somehow.

Also after doing my hanging leg raises today, I had an 8 pack in good lighting. I usually only get that in the summer when I'm weighing in at sub 190lbs in the morning after my piss. Then I went to measure myself on the scale in my chucks, shorts, and tank top (this is how i measured my weight in every log i made; its because I wanted my squat:bw ratio to be measured in the attire that I jump in). However, this wasn't a morning measurement.

I WAS 200 POUNDS. HOW. I HAVE A SIXPACK AT 200 POUNDS.
For years I thought I would reach my goal physique at this point. First it was 175... then 185.. then 190... then i was like ok 200lbs with a six pack and that'll be it. Now I'm here. Still not satisfied... but actually getting close! Would like my shoulders to be bigger, calves too, and lats a bit more.

But those are just physique goals. My stregth goals are still a 2.5xbw squat and a 40" vertical heheheh.

I have to find something else to do instead of the seated leg curls. It makes my left lumbar flex a shitload. And just the left side. Idn how so. I'll probably try the prone leg raises.

I would do GHR's if we had that machine. Or back extensions if the machine wasn't stupid as fuck and made it extremely difficult to do them while holding heavy weights, but I'll try it again.

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
