I agree about the sets the sets of ten. Nice squatting though, you're making very steady improvements!

**First time trying these... they were sort of a "push-jerk" I guess you'd call it, but I really liked them. 172 would definitely go up with a jerk, no doubt about it. 128x3 felt like nothing.

Do you stick your head through properly on the lockout?

wukkadb

Yeah I do, tbh I didn't really put my all into the 172, I was more or less testing out my PP today, since I haven't done it in forever. I think the 172 could have gone up with more focus/toughness. I'm just trying to see where I'm at so I can plan out my reps accordingly with PP.

**Overall today was good. I missed some reps on bench but what can ya do. I always get stuck when I get up to the 200-225 barrier, I'm going to start pausing on all my sets, hopefully that helps.

I weighed 165 but it was after doing a bunch of shit... directly after I made a chicken sandwich seasoned with some salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon+lime juice on 2 slices of white bread with mustard, mayo, relish, good piece of cheese, and a fried egg. I also had a banana and some goldfish with it... I'm sure I put some of those lost LB's back on. Heavy squats tomorrow, can't wait.

Ya, sandwich was bomb. That circuit was brutal though
