My squats passed 112.5 kg (250 lbs) on my last workout, hitting 3x5 was hard and I'm a little scared of going for 115 kg next time. Still managed 7 reps on the last set though and I was fucking sweating for it lmao. This is also the only major movement I haven't had to deload yet.
Making progress on OHP is ridiculous - someone here said they've hit 230 lbs on that and I have no idea how, you must be a monster. Like the last time I worked out, I'm hitting a wall around 50 kg (111lbs and also 3x5) - I failed the last attempt at that weight and I've reached that point again, which I'll be attempting later today. I will say that learning you have to activate your core during the lift helped a lot, but that advice kind of goes for all major lifts.
And finally, I can do a full 3 sets of pull-ups unassisted now, albeit with great effort. Overall feeling good about it and I can see my body getting kinda beefy now, but that's also because I've been eating so much food now.
you must be young or something your progress is crazy. i think either my oldness or me not eating enough is holding me back. also im worried about hurting myself so i dont push it as much. Anyway well done. This boomer is envious.
Thank you! I'm actually kinda old (could probably get a good idea of my age looking at my post history), but I have been focusing a lot on nutrition/eating a lot and sleeping enough this time. I think, in the past, when I tried to work out consistently, I didn't focus enough on recovery (and I'd say nutrition is a big part of recovery), but I've found it's extremely important - I've been injured a couple times in the past, so I learned that the hard way.
