Lost 6,5kgs since christmas.
6 pack now visible.
Kept my strength.
Still months until summer - I'm finally gonna be shredded for summer.
Feels good!

>>40724998
I'm still working on my form. I've done 1pl8 but it was by no means strict but it wasn't a push pull either

Finally unfucked my sleeping schedule- went to bed at 11 p.m. last night, been up since 7:30 a.m.; have the whole day to be productive, and actually leave the house for reasons other than to go to the gym late at night

>>40724843
Congrats senpai. Keep the lifting up, next thing you know it'll be 315.

>>40724996
lmao it's her job to smile at you

>>40725125
For some reason, I highly doubt that you can military press 1pl8 five times with good form based on your other lifts.

>>40725229
I was one if those with the whole "squatting bad for your knees" mentality so I picked up the lift late. I surpassed my bench though

>>40725229
Wait a second. You mean the 1/2/3/4 thing is for 5 reps? I thought it was 1RM??

>>40725251
It's whatever you want it to be. I take it as working reps but it doesn't matter.

>>40725213
that doesn't mean it feels any less good faggot.

>>40725251
No it's rpm.

>>40725263
it should you cuck

>>40725310
>cuck
drink bleach you baby fucking kike

>>40725322
Can I be your friend, even if I have down syndrome?

>>40725247
My squat/ DL isnt that great either since I have bad knees/ ankles, but for you to be doing Military Press with as much weight as you can Bench is suspect.

I imagine if you do standing Military press-- which is the only one that counts-- you are pushing through your knees some or aren't taking the bar all the way down to your collar bone.

>>40725400
Yea I couldn't do 1 OHP until I was at 2 for BP.

>>40725416
Yeah, I bench 235x5 for three sets and I am struggling after doing two sets of 1pl8 military press.

>>40724843
>pause squatted 365
>cute ginger chick with a big butt smiled @ me
as soon as I get my braces off I'm gonna ask her out

>>40725400
Idk dude. My shoulders just grow at a much faster rate than any other part. To do well on ohp you have to go until you are at that feeling where the bar is half an inch above your forehead and you spend 20 seconds right there struggling to lift it higher.

Do people actually squat at your Gold's? I went to two different Golds in Fairfax Station and Merrifield and I never saw more than 5 people squatting over 225lbs at both locations.

>>40726088
A lot of people do heavy ass squats here

>>40726088
Not that guy but I used to go to a gold's gym in San Jose that had a bunch of squat racks. People were squatting all the time. I saw some guy squat 5 pl8 there once.

>>40725019
>pressing 1pl8
>happy about lmao2pl8 squat

really makes u think!

>>40726162
I squat ~2.5pl8 and DL ~3pl8. I don't know if I can increase those numbers much though since I have shitty knees/ankles.

I 1/2 for reps with OHP and Bench though.

>5'10" 159lbs

>>40726145
Hmmmm, I saw one other dude at Merrifield who could squat, he put up 405x3. The only other people that I saw actually squat there put up 225 at most.

I go to my school gym now, GMU, and it's nice seeing people actually squat regularly. I lift with the powerlifting team though so makes sense that I see lots of people squatting regularly now desu.
