    Medium SQ: 250x5 (ties PR), 230x5, walkout 280. I know smartphones are ubiquitous in gyms, but ever get a vibe someone was taking video of you? Felt like I might be approached about the walkout, with someone asking, "Oh, unracked it but then changed your mind about squatting it, huh?" Of course, this would have come from some guy doing lateral raises, goblet squats, etc. I realize walkouts might be a more advanced powerlifting thing, but I just want to feel the next heavy day's workset weight on my back, without compromising my workset of five with an actual overwarmup single.

    Medium DL: 305x3x2

    Pullups: BWx7

    Chins: BWx6
    Ha! Prob trying to steal your strength secrets!! I never realized til I videoed my paused DL how many people watch what I do; let em laugh their asses off. Today an older woman asked if I was done w the powerrack (id been benching for half hr so no idea how she knew to come all the way across gym to me; I said I left the bar there for rows since gym wasn’t crowded and I unloaded it for her, whereupon she left it to do close foot backrack dips in the mirror rack, and another guy commented he noticed my unloading technique - dumping the weight off the ends. Well. It’s not dainty but it’s fast.)

    Maybe I'll make walkouts a new trend.

    In your case, people watch you because they're jealous.

    P2.0: 100x5x2, 3

    BP: 175x5, 2x3

    Light SQ: 225x5. Because of the day off work today, I moved training from Sunday to Monday. That means I'll move my next SQ day from Wednesday to Thursday. But that would have meant 5 days between SQs (Saturday through Thursday). So I decided to at least tack a light set onto the end of Press/Bench Press today. Always amazed how different SQ feels after Press.

    I'm going to have to try that, the walkout - (I'm not the best squatter ).
    Back at ya. I think not many ladies do these exercises, I work hard, I'm old (letting my white hair grow out), and I'm overweight - on a mini cut right now!

    On Saturdays, I've started Benching first and then Squatting.

    It was different at first, but now I like it. I'm more warmed up and better able to focus on the Squat.

    Can you imagine how their heads would explode if they saw you walk out 315!?

    I was glad to discover it for myself by trial and error. Mind you, I still hang from the chin bar for a couple of sets before any first lift of the day, whether it's SQ, P, BP, or DL. But it's so much easier for me to get the bar in a correct LBBS rack if I have pressed or bench pressed beforehand.
