Adam Skillin's Minimalist Training Log

[Chad Mynhier]

Thanks! Here's another successful PR (but awful video) and 2 failures but with much better camerawork:

Squat: 442x1 PR!!!
Deadlift: 535xnope (x2)

So 3 new PR's this week. Been a long time since I've had 3 in a week, but 4 still would have been better.

Nice grind on that squat!

200kg squat!!!

Pretty cool, right? Only took me the better part of a decade, too!

now you need to work on that derf-like 300k pull!

now you need to work on that derf-like 300k pull!

I’ll probably have to work on 250 first.

4/19/19 (A midwestern giant many-hundred-thousand-square-foot facility with a pool, a basketball court, and more gym nonsense than I’ve seen in a LONG time):

Press: 155x5x3
Squat: 295x5x3
Slingshot bench: 240x5x3
Deadlift: 385x5x3 sort of. With straps due to equipment problems of bo chalk and bad bars and a lot of re-setting due to equipment problems of hex plates
LTE: 75x15x2
DB Curls: 60x5x2
Power Cleans (with an olympic bearing bar I rescued from the bench press): up to 180. 175 looked decent. 180 was pretty ugly.
