Squats are finally back on track. All my warmup sets felt strong, last rep of 285 I somehow forgot to stay tight and turned extremely ugly. Was hoping to get 300 for at least 2 but back was already pretty fried.

Thanks man . Looks like you had a pretty good day yourself, you definitely have another 10-20lbs in you on deadlift.

For sure. It felt strong. I was really pussifying my grip because of my calluses, and my back was really sore from Wednesday!

Your closing in on that 405 and I completely feel you on your soreness, anytime I start oly lifting after a break my back, especially traps, are sore as hell for a few days.

I hadn't done any front squatting this week, so decided to head to the gym after breakfast. Really wanted to work on staying tight and upright, 245 was tough but good and I might have been able to get 265 but, based on how sore my back was just from my brief attempt, it wouldn't have been safe. Paused back squats were just for fun, might have been good for 3 at 265. Since the gym was practically empty I gave db bench a try, just to see what I was comfortable with and because I've also had trouble with muscle imbalances. It was a bit awkward and I couldn't really keep my elbows from flaring out, but even at 50 I never felt like I was close to failing.

Shit session. Was told that I can't "powerlift" at the rec center, aka oly lift, by the same bitch who constantly harps on me to put clips on during my warmup sets. Squats were terrible, at one point I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to get 3 reps. I have no idea how I can go from doing 265 for 5x5 to struggling with 265 for 3x3.

Sounds like a snob to me...

Diet? Anything change recently?

It's honestly beyond annoying, there have been times where I've taken the clips off to put more weight on, paused to set the timer on my phone and next thing I know she's beside me telling me to put the clips back on. Granted, she might just be trying to do her job and I'm overreacting, but I consider losing the ability to oly lift a pretty big hit to my routine.

Hmmm I never thought about that, I have been staying in more to work on papers so my meals have consisted of considerably more junk food as of late.
