5/25/16, Tfw proper low bar rips my shorts.
Squats- 270lbs 5x5
Press- 140lbs 4x5, 4+1
SGDL- 345lbs x5 hook/straps
Chin Ups- 55lbs x5, 3 Gym bags on my back x5
Squats started off shitty and had a 15 minute interruption between sets 2 and 3, but the final sets felt good and on snapchat looked way better than a few weeks ago. I think it helped that I watched the Art of Manliness video where Rip was coaching in real time. Press was hard and some of them were forward, but keeping the bar back drastically reduced rpe. Took a little too long before the last rep and lost it, then made it up after a short rest. SGDL's feel the same every set after 225. That two inches of grip really increases the suffering.
For chin ups, another trainer and I were there with two of our friends who are members after closing. The front desk guy came upstairs after around 15 minutes and was pretty pissed off. So we left and one of the guys made us walk around until he found scaffolding he could chin up on and we tried to use our bags to equal enough weight, but it wasn't really close.
