Squat 290 3x5
front squat 135 1x12
ovhd press 125 4x5+3
deadlift 335 1x5
pullups 10,8,5

important tip of the week: "never back down".  I backed down from trying to pull 365 for the third time on deadlifts; and am less of a man for it.

beast of the week:  Mikey B will deadlift 315 by Monday next week.  Holy shit Mike you went from never having deadlifted before in your life to 3 big boy plates in less than four months.  Congratulations and welcome to the glamorous realm of making sure you take a shit before you go to the gym on deadlift day.

  1. Everything still feels really good. Squats feel really strong only thing is that when I get to my deadlifts at the end of the workout my legs feel toasted and they go all shaky. I went for a little run this week too for the first time in a long time and I could feel it in my legs for a few days. Squats 230 5x5 dl 185 1x5 ohp 125 5x5 bench 185 5x5 rows 135 5x5

  3. Awesome Smittens!!! Looking excellent, yeah man I definitely feel you on the squat and deadlift day. I haven't been running in 2.5 months and if I did I'm sure I would be sidelined for a week. I realized that squats and deadlifts will get to heavy to do 5 sets. Numbers are looking really good though man, keep it up!!!
