That was a good day for me.



Yeah I've got some trouble these days with both squat and deadlift. This prep is not as good as last one.

Good thing bench is going great!

I'm mirin' the bench.

Also an odd question but what are your thoughts, if any, on the Atlantis racks? You're using one in the bench above. I need to buy an extra rack for the gym I'm building so I've been looking around. Looking for something compact (no more than 8x8 footptrint), strong, and with as much stuff on it as possible (chin, weight unicorns, squat + bench ofc) without sacrificing quality. Taking suggestions from anyone/everyone.

Ideally something relatively cost-effective because I don't lease/rent anything and our budget is already growing.

edit: I'll make a power rack topic sometime soon but feel free to answer on racks here (anyone's/everyone's input is wanted) until it's up :)

Atlantis racks is fine, one of the gym I've trained in had their ''half-racks'' and they can support over 300kg squats without problem.

First update in quite some time. Been doing some volume for the last month after fucking around the whole summer and just started lifting a bit heavier now. Goal is to hit 272.5kg this year if I weigh around 90kg so I maintain my 3x bw DL from last year.
200kg/440lbs x2, last set here.
Dunno how much the band adds.

A couple of those reps were pure silk. Looking better. I need to start squats again. Took time off after slipped disc and then a hip/piriformis injury. Now I need to work my way back up, probably need to work with 225 or maybe 275 for a few weeks before I man up a bit into the 300+ range.

e: cool home gym story but my wife hates when I leave 45s on. I use 45s to warm-up so I set it that way at the end, but she doesn't like de-loading 45s. She could easily handle 135 but she is dedicated to not squatting with resistance :( I've been encouraging her to fatten dat ass with squats.
