DL: 285

1/29/16:

BW: 204.4 lbs*

SQ: 200**
BP: 130
PC: 75***

LTE: +30x12,12,8

*Yep, artifact.
**Felt harder after last two great sessions. Knees were not out, tsk, tsk.
***Fuck cleans. Last two sets barely racked, if at all. I'm smacking the top of my sternum on a lot of these. Fatigue?

2/1/16:

BW: 205.6 lbs*

SQ: 205**
PR: 87.5
DL: 290

BC: +17.5x12,10,8

*WTF?!
**Playing with slightly narrower stance. Knees getting ahead of my toes at the bottom. Knees out for fuck's sake. Reps didn't feel consistent at all between sets.

2/3/16:

BW: 209 lbs*

SQ: 210**
BP: 135***
PC: 85 - DNC****

LTE: +30x8x3

*Taken pre-workout, with clothes. I doubt this.
**Had a hard time dealing with the belt. It just doesn't fit correctly ever. Either it smashed under my ribs, or smashes against my hips. Plus, I can't get the damn thing tight enough because it then takes 10 minutes of struggle to get the damn thing off.
***Fuck bench presses. People are somehow good at these?
****I'm abandoning these. I can't rack them cleanly. I'm exhausted so "jump harder" isn't an option. What's the point? Maybe I'll just deadlift every session or attempt to alternate with chins, which I don't think I can do either.

This was an all-around shitty workout. I might dump the tiny bit of accessory stuff I've been doing.

Today's not a good day. either, so far.

2/16/16:

BW: 206.6 lbs

SQ: 230
BP: 145*
CH: 2 bands x7,5, 3 bands x10

*Bench press PR. Form was truly awful. Right arm/shoulder feels wonderfully fun today. No pain, just tight/sore.

Left arm is 100%. Woo!

Satch,

I appreciate your supportive comment. I don't know why people think they need to be rude. Congeniality among lifters is appreciated and even cherished. I'm glad that you are at it, gaining body weight, and your lifts are improving all of the time. Good work.
