Posted a video of squats, Tom C says knees out more and a bit more depth.
Did that and squats went great tonight, back tight breathing better knees out and kept head down.
Did all five with better form and better depth and on last set last rep almost failed but awkwardly pushed through.

Squats: 170lb 3x5

OH press: 125lb 3,3,3,3,3 - worse than last time, couldn't push past 3 reps. Tried thumbless grip and felt way better.

P.Clean: 125lb 5x3 - some reps looked/felt good and some were awful, need more practice.


I'm convinced and looking forward to signing up for online coaching in sept. I just need a few weeks to pay off a few more bills.

A week off for vacation
The only weight I put on was on my beer gut

Thought I would start up again a few lbs lower and try to get my momentum back

Bench: 115lb 3x5

Chin up: 3x5

Squats were a little shaky right knee folding in. May have to re do 165

Bench went great

Chins felt weak

Sept 6
didnt feel very motivated but heard a nice quote
Future you is depending on present you.

Made all my reps😃

Squat: 280lb 3x5

Bench: 222lb 3x5 Started micro loading

Chins: 7,8,5,7 I always seem to rush through chins. If I were to take a longer rest and take them seriously I would probably do better.
