My personal strategy that's worked well for maxes and competitions is to do an intermediate 5-rep warm-up (by that I mean not heavy, but not as light as normal) followed by three lifts, the last of which being the new max, going up in 25 lbs increments.

>I sometimes wonder why I pushed myself so relentlessly in weight lifting. My motive, I think, was not an uncommon one; I was not the ninety-eight-pound weakling of bodybuilding advertisements, but I was timid, diffident, insecure, submissive. I became strong—very strong—with all my weight lifting but found that this did nothing for my character, which remained exactly the same. And, like many excesses, weight lifting exacted a price. I had pushed my quadriceps, in squat- ting, far beyond their natural limits, and this predisposed them to injury, and it was surely not unrelated to my mad squatting that I ruptured one quadriceps tendon in 1974 and the other in 1984. While I was in hospital in 1984, feeling sorry for myself, with a long cast on my leg, I had a visit from Dave Sheppard, mighty Dave, from Muscle Beach days. He hobbled into my room slowly and painfully; he had very severe arthritis in both hips and was awaiting total hip replacements. We looked at each other, our bodies half-destroyed by lifting.
>“What fools we were,” Dave said. I nodded and agreed.
Is lifting really worth it?
Stronger and wiser men don't think so. Why do you still lift?

How do I decide to start getting my deadlift ahead of my squat seeing as I never improved my grip strength and it got surpassed. Working on hook grip but it seems more difficult to learn than all other techniques prior.
Should I just stay with mixed on working sets and try to hook warm ups?
Squat working 300, dead working 360 mixed, about equal with squat double overhand but non hook.

SS for 2nd week.
OHP is 65lb. Maybe your muscles are just really weak when it comes to that.

Incline 5RM

Pull-up 5RM
>160lbs (bodyweight)+65lbs
Btw for everyone claiming above 200 for added weight on pull up (not including bodyweight) that's basically world record territory so idk what to think if this shit.

Whoa going for the double necklace and bracelet in the after pic. Why work out to look more masculine, just to feminize yourself again?
Just fapped to some nonnude chick with huge knockers. Going to try calling it my last fap for October. Who else here nofap October/ nofap streak?
