@DarkShadow looking good! Not too dissimilar to my lifts, deadlift looking strong!
Cheers to those who advised on my eating. I always progress like crazy this time of year and this year has probably topped all. Throwing in eggs, whole milk and chicken thighs has really helped and I’m still keeping lean, so I must have been well under the required calories. How have I been leaving eggs out for so long! Of course there’s now a shortage, but we still get them in work
Fingers crossed this year, that unlike last year, I don’t get a sickness bug, a Covid jab reaction and then not long after Covid itself. I’d love to continue this progress into the new year without losing 5kg bodyweight.
Squats now over 230.
Deadlifts no idea, but adding 2.5kg a week and easily moving 225kg this week (good to be doing these again!)
OHP 100% bodyweight at around 93kg.
Bench a tad over 160kg, 3kg under a pb!
Plus all the other crap I do like one handed rows at 105kg per side, pull ups body weight plus 40kg for reps, 93kg barbell curls and various other nonsense.
All progressing steadily. I’ve also solved the problem of a cheap gym with racks just behind our summer home. £60 for 2 months, 2 minute walk
Enjoying it being cool again too. I’ll happily workout in trousers and a hoodie, trying not to use the heating. About 10C in my gym, but it’s fine if I keep moving.
