Oh I know.


It took me a second to find it after I edited it. I realized as a platinum member I could change the title of the first post in the thread I start or even delete it which I couldn't do before.


I may change my name for fun as well so all my critics/ops will be confused for a couple months in the other subs.

....and now the quote function is down...it won't let me post...

+gray Kcross+open Inzer lever belt:

405-6+0 reps...felt like I maybe had one more with a spotter....this is a huge
PR....TNG....1 RM is estimated at around 470-475.....



455-1+0 reps......2 reps would have been right around 470 estimated 1 RM but I barely got the one



315-15+0 reps....TNG....started out super fast but then faded after about 10-11 reps....


--what a way to end 2025...fuck yea....

These new Manueklear elbow wraps are much better.

Kcross bench band...

I can definitely get a lot more use from this one compared to the black one I have from another brand. Excellent training tool.

The weight felt very manageable today ..even 455 didn't feel heavy....I wonder if it's because I gained some weight...

Awesome shit man! Tried to post this the other day, but site was broken. Your bench is nuts

405 for 6 is incredible man..

Thanks. I was hoping for three reps. I was like holy shit was I unknowingly eating trenbologne sandwiches ...

That velocity based training device was actually quite accurate apparently. It was telling me for weeks my 1RM may be as high as 470-485 but I was scared to try it without a spotter.

That bench is GODLIKE

To me god-like is Joseph Tumbarello doing 725 at like 5-10 lb heavier than me...but I appreciate the kind words.

1/5/25
bw: ~243lb(bit under 110kg)

Squats:
bw-10 reps
135-10 reps
225-10 reps..super heavy
+open inzer lever belt:
315-1 rep...rerack..had to remove belt
315-3 reps
365-1 rep,,,good set
405-1+0 reps..terrible...came up uneven...almost lost it
---weight felt so heavy today...

Sohp:
+gloves:
135-10 reps....thumbless grip

+wrist wraps+elbow wraps:

185-5 reps....maybe had one more...thumbless grip...

+Kcross band:

225-3+0 reps....thumbless grip
---used wider grip than normal

Sitting Hoist Leg Press:
380(stack)+2 green bands: 20 reps...close to failure...thighs were burning

Two Leg Concentric + One Leg Eccentric(negative):
380(stack)+2 green bands: 3+0 reps...maybe had more reps but left knee and hip started hurting so I called it a day...

----shit workout but I'll take what I can get...I was hoping to do something decent since my squat usually closely follows my bench...apparently not this time.....I am not a fan of these rogue bars...the knurling is crazy long/sharp and it's a pain in the ass to use...
