Incline DB benched 100x6!!! That ties my all-time PR. I think i weigh heavier than the last time i did it though

Binged today again. Freakin halal guys...

Squatted 315x5 as well. Been about... a year since i was at that weight? Also RDL’d 405x5 earlier this week. PR is 445x6 i think, somewhere around there

I cant believe squat singles of 405 used to be my bread and butter. What the heck. Thats so unreal to me. Not trying to say its impressive, but rather just the fact that it feels so out of reach for me right now yet i used to be at that level. It feels unreal that i used to do it.

Got some more food pics   :ibjumping: lazy to upload and post now. 2:34am, time for an hour or so of sleep. Had too much tea.

ya it's ridiculous how fast we lose strength. it's one thing with strength & vert training that bothers me.

anyway. might be out of reach for you now but, you always making big progress when you really focus. but also no need to rush it either.

^ Oh yeah if I go back to my squatting 3x a week no doubt i can get back up to 4 plates quick. I'm just thinking long term. Don't want my hamstrings to fall behind and cause any imbalances. I remember this program being the most effective for me for squats:

monday - squat x4, x7, x7, 90sec rests
wednesday - squat x2
Friday - squat x4, x7, x7, 90sec rests

if i hit 4 reps, increase by 5lbs. So that was about 90% of my max. Same with the 7 rep work. If i hit both sets of 7, increase. The wednesday squatting for 2 reps was the same weight as the Friday following it.

The combo of high frequency, intensity, low volume but still some metabolic adaptation from the short rest period seriously boosted me

RDL at 405x7 now. Did not expect to be gaining strength tbis ramadan. Not even getting much protein. Weight is around 194lbs fasted. Looking to cut afterward. Hard cut, get down to a fasted 187 or so and go back to my clean bulk

Incline db has dropped to 100x5 for a few workouts now. Rdl went up to 405x8 after a day of pigging out. Those glycogen stores really make a difference

Completed my hajj   :personal-record:

Barely lifted, also got sick during it. And there was TONS of walking in intense heat, and barely any sleep was had. I didnt expect it to be so difficult.

Dropped to 182lbs and not even fasted. Lost a lot of strength and muscle. Im supposed to be crazy cut at 182 but nope! incline db dropped to 85x5. Wow. Just benched today and managed 185x5. But to be fair, i never bench anymore

Despicable numbers lol. Should start logging every workout again

if there's one thing i learned from three years in pakistan, it's that everyone gets sick during hajj.

Benched 7x5 yesterday... felt good. It was at 185lbs but I think i can get back to repping 2 plates quickly. I need to work on increasing my GPP. Maybe cardio can help with that a bit.

I moved and joined a rec center that has a bball court, but a really run down weight room. Can't even find all the dumbells but I'm trying to make it work. Tempted to just buy a power cage, bench, and some dumbells and put it in my living room if my roommates cool with it...

Benched 8x4 @ 195lbs. Felt great. Nearly failed on the final rep of the last set. Then inclined DB 60x15, 12.

Smolov jr inspired benching. My plan is to bench 3x/week: one day of 7x5, another of 8x4, and then a light day working up to a 90% single or so. I want to get back to repping 2 plates again!

^^ looks like it'll do the job.

no dips on push day? don't like them or they bug you?

i personally love dips. if i could do just dips & neutral grip pullups i'd be happy.
