Haha, thanks again! Xmas holidays are coming though so the PR train is gonna take a break 

15 dips @ +3 reps, beastmode PR.

Well, it wasn't a 'PR by 3 reps'. It was a PR tie and a 3 reps improvement from last week's last set, but that last week on my first set i got 15 that set the PR. Still awesome and thanks!

all-time PR is surrious. 

Thanks! Yes, it is great to finally reach some kind of squat PR again. I think i have similar weights logged but they were not true ATG, they were 'as low as i can get in the (fixed height pins ) cage'. This year every single set is done outside the cage.

What about the jump to passing the single leg through the hands!!! If ever there was going to be a challenge on this site that should be it.

90% of people who would attempt it would get injured! 

7 Deember 2017

Bodyweight@session : ~85,25kg , once again low carbed/fed
Soreness : very sore legs. mostly VMOs but also hamstrings abductors, glutes, calves. PRing squats and cleans comes with a cost lol
Injuries/aches : none

HANG POWER SNATCH:
Too sore and also next day of cleans, so skipped.

RDL:
8@85kg ( +5 kg )
8@90kg
8@95kg
-Top set much less challenging than expected, should have upped.

DB LUNGES:
6 each leg @ 20kg each hand
6 each leg @ 20kg each hand

DEAD-HANG PULLUPS:
12@BW ( +1 rep ) , ties 
7@BW+5kg  ( -1 rep )
5@BW+10kg
4@BW+15kg
11@BW
-Kinda stuck, i am at limit strength. Also two last weeks i did those the same day with RDL&lunges, grip is kinda toasted by the time i get to pullups.

This is a period ( work and life wise ) that i would normally not train at all. My usual derails. And yet i am putting in at least 3 workouts a week, PRing despite stressed/tired and  on top of that i am feeling i am underachieving and slacking. That whole package is a really great progress element for me!!!
