    Goddamn, Colin...numbers are looking solid! Now I gotta play catch-up again.

    You should be very, very proud of yourself.

    Appreciate it Brodie! Very happy with where I'm at. Still always striving for more progress though, however little.

    Squat
    305x5x2

    Press
    142.5x5x3 PR

    Chins
    35x6,7,7 =20 up to 40 next week.

    Back still super unhappy with me after I fucked up deadlifts on Sunday, yay go Colin. Luckily just an extreme soreness. Also the apartments AC is broken so the 85° at all times should help keep my blood nice and hot.
