Update: 229!

It's the first time in a LONG time I've been under 230, and it feels gud... Wife is down to 180 "she was 245 when she had my daughter"..

And I hit new pr today!

255 3x7 squats after working up with 235

Felt good.. But I noticed on my last set my left knee kept buckling slightly inward when I was ascending.. I had to consciously pay attention to that and track my knees, and it took a lot of my concentration away from the actual lift 'if that makes any sense'..

Is it time to start wearing a knee wrap? It's never done this before, and I'd hate to tear something..

Yeah man.. That's what my eyes are on right now.. 285 I felt like I wasn't going to get it up.. About 1/2 into my ascent my legs said fuck you.. But somehow I managed to get er up.

I can't wait for 3 plates, I don't think I've ever seen anybody do 3 plates at my gym.. I feel like I'm the only one who really utilizes the shit out of the squat rack

226! Went and bought Starting Strength from Amazon.. great reading material, and it came with an awesome app for the phone.

Although my weights are down right now, this is a great chance to focus on explosiveness and form. I've literally never felt this healthy before, I went and did a 30 minute jog yesterday and managed to make it 3.25 miles by the end of it.. Squats feel gud, dl feels gud.. Now I'm working on power cleans.. Vid inc in the next few weeks.

Awesome day today.. Did 215 3x5 on squats.. Also emphasizing a lot more on bench and DL now that I've switched my programs up..

Anybody have any suggestions on how to approach power cleans? I'm just getting ready to step into that realm, and I literally have no idea how..

e: also started doing HIIT on the row machine, holy tits what a workout.

Sitting around 224 now!

Hit 245 3x5 squats.. Thinking about changing my routine for squats to add some volume to my sets, I can feel a plateau coming..

Deadlifts on the other hand are coming along great! Hit 245 1x5 no problem.. Practicing the hook grip is super useful..

Anybody have any recommendations for things to have at home for farmer walks? Thinking about investing in some shit for home like a sled.
