Just got pinned by 80kg parallel squats.

Let me explain, I was trying 80kg to go down and tested to see if i could move it up again once at parallel and i could hold it there and if i had strength i could move it up but my legs were tired after a few seconds of the bar staying still me pushing i got tired and the bar started to push down.
but it was good feeling to be able to hold the weight at parallel.

  but staying down instead.

For the first time my FS and BS have reached parity. FS 3x125kg and HBBS 6x125kg, no belt, no wraps, sleeves etc. Milestone corresponds to >1.9BW for BS and 1.8xBW for FS where BW is my usual ideal basketball season playing bodyweight of 75kg. Will post again in 3 weeks time, hopefully having added another 15kg to my squats! Then a cut back to 75kg by xmas where i'll be ripped and superbly athletic.

single leg hyper extension on glut ham raise machine.
2 x 38KG DUMBELL X 10 REPS EACH LEG with hold on 10th rep

 

BSS holding 25kg plates in each hand going to parallel
2 x 5 x 25kg plates in each hand

 

Next Goal:
50kg dumbell x 10 reps each leg single leg hyperextension, if i see i don't get enough time on the last week i will attempt it for 3 days
50kg BSS x 5 x 2 sets each leg

[seifullaah73]

Barbell BSS  2 x 5 x 40kg 

After my last set my quad's felt painful as if i strained it and is painful when i place stress on it like when i tried single leg hyperextension, the pad was pressing against my quads and that was too sore to continue.

This is like 80kg squat parallel i hope.

Finally able to bench 225x5 for the first time in my life.

I can't believe TWO YEARS AGO I was at 210x5 and never broke through the plateau until now.

Do you always bench with your elbows going out to the sides like that? They should move under you, like in a dip.

Yeah I always bench like that. Never had any injury problems with it.

Front squat: 135kg @ 89kg ( 297.6lb @ 196.5lb)

Yes that's just a ratio of 1.5 lol, i'm fat right now, have about 10-15kg of bodyweight to drop by xmas. Still, i reckon I can get to around 140kg@89kg in under 2 weeks and then i'll start cutting. My eventual goal is a 2xbw FS @ 75kg/165lb bw which should be totally do-able by end of cut, because i'll just put the weight I take off my gut onto the bar. Lets see how it goes.

That's insane... would've never expected that out of you... I mean you look so long and "thin".

You and me both, it's the lift i'm the worst build for, long skinny arms and narrow chest. I do CG because I don't wanna ruin my shoulders or tear a pec or something stupid like that when i'm not a powerlifter. It's probably my best lift in terms of what i've achieved from where I started so i'm pretty proud of it. Took me bloody ages to get there too but it hasn't done much for me yet, maybe next 10kg will cure DYEL. Probably not though.
