    Eventually it will become as easy as Mr B says.

    I do like peanut butter. Perhaps this will help.

    Do you think putting some peanut butter on the balls of my feet would help even more than just the visualization?

    10/03/22 Monday

    Weight: 204

    Squat 300x5x3 Mr B was right, super chunk was not helpful. Switched to creamy after the first set. Knees are solid, depth is unquestionable. I'm very pleased. Debating the light day for this week. My knees were a weird kind of achy all weekend and I'm afraid 3 heavy squats a week might be to blame.

    Press 120 - 5,5,3,2 Very good. The weight gain is certainly helping my pressing motions

    Powerclean 125x3x5 Most of these were really good. My rack is improving dramatically. If I pull with my arms it will unfailingly be in the third rep.

    Chins 5,4,4 Did these in between sets of cleans to try and save on time.

    Leg raises 20,20,12 Less than 2 minutes rest between these.

    Front squat (For light day) 185x3x5 Weird. Haven't done these since high school but they were technically sound. I think it'll help stretch out my rack position for the clean.

    Bench 195x5. 185x5x2 Ass was glued to the pad. Very pleased

    Deadlift 355x5 so fucking solid. Back was totally flat and the whole set took 40 seconds. I'm very pleased

    CGB 150x10,7,3 - 2.5 Minute rest. Nothing burns like these.

    Leg raised 3x18 - 2.5 Minutes rest

    Squat 305x5x3 Pleased. fifth rep of set 3 my back rounded more than I like. At least it felt like it, hard to tell from the video angle as it's set up to watch my knees (Which behaved very well today).

    Press 122.5x5x3 Looking good. Something bothered my left clavicle a little.

    Power clean - Started warming up and decided not to clean. My knees have felt funny for the last 2 weeks and the warmups were producing a similar sensation. They feel better typing this than they have all week so I'm thinking these might be the culprit

    Chins 6,3 Called it. Short on time and coaching someone new today before work.

    Leg Raises 20x3, stuck these between sets of chins.

    Weight: 208.00 Okay, gonna try and slow this down a little. 4 pounds a week is kinda a lot. I was shooting for half that.

    Squat 310x5x3 Still looking good. This milk is fucking irreplaceable.

    Bench 197.5x4 Damn. I think I can push it up on friday. 185x5x2 Maybe the backoffs should be a little heavier.

    Powerclean 127.5x3x5 Racking good today. Only pulled on 1 rep and didn't bruise my fucking chest today

    CGB 155x10,7,7 These are becoming less fun lol. Everything seems to do that once it's heavier.

    Leg raises 26,22,16 Stuck these in between CGB to save time

    Front squat 195x3x5 2 min rest.

    Press 125x5,4,3,3 Monday had a lot of pressing this week. Next Monday I believe it will go up for 5x3.

    Deadlift 365x5 Had to do a 10 pound jump because the smaller weights wouldn't fit on the bar. Looked and felt good. Should be pulling 405 by the end of the year.

    Left out assistance work today.
