Another blast, another year!

Just got the green light on getting this.
Since my girl has been taking this powerlifting journey seriously and we're getting into bigger and bigger weights she realized our current squat rack isn't cutting it.
Super sketchy re-racking heavy weight and no spotter arms if we fail.
I've been trying to get a squat rack for a while now but she didn't want to turn out living room into a permanent gym.... Fucking women amiright?
So since this folds out of the way she's all about it.
I'm really excited for this massive upgrade, can finally re-rack with confidence.
Plus I can hang my cable system from the pullup bar and finally move some real weight.

Also just found out my little brother wants to start lifting with me.
He's really skinny and really tall. Currently only 150lbs at like 6'4-6'5
Really excited about this... I know if he stays with it he will eventually look like a beast.

Little update, my brother did his first benching day with us. I wanted to find his 3 rep max... Accidentally found his one rep max.
My 27 year old, 6'3, 140lb brother can bench 10 more pounds than my 39 year old, 5'5 148lb fiancee. Definitely a shot to his ego, but I think it gave him a good kick in the ass. Made him realize he really needs this. Tomorrow is deadlifts and I can't wait.
Next Monday I think I'm going to go for 267lb bench again. See if I can clean it up and make it look better. Depending on how easy it goes up I might try 275lb.

Me trying to work on depth and tempo.

And I finally took some updated leg/calf pictures today. I still don't think the pictures do my calves justice. They are so big I have to buy special long socks, they stretch out my slim fit stretchy jeans and there's no way in hell I can pull the cuffs of my jeans over them.

My brother doesn't know I'm on gear... Well I'm sure he has his suspicions.

And @Demi.Human knows who has the calves in this relationship 😂🤣.
Id still trade them in a second for his fucking lats.
Mine are getting bigger but still not where I want them to be.

Think I finally got a tricep shot I'm happy with. Not my best pose, but definitely captured the detail for once.
And just a little reminder of where I came from.
72lbs difference between those two pictures.

don't want to get him on gear just yet?
My brother is not like me... We had very different childhoods and made different life choices. By the time I was 13 I was fucking, fighting and selling drugs.
When he was 13 he was playing sports and being a good kid.
He didn't start smoking weed until he was in his late 20s. He's the type of kid who you would want your daughter to date... I'm... Most certainly not. I honestly don't know if he'd be the type to take gear. I guess we'll see how he develops and how seriously he takes this.
Yesterday we did deadlifts... Crazy to watch my girl out lift him... But before he left she said
"How cool would it be to see 3 years from now when you're both at a family function and you're both fucking jacked"
That put a big smile on his face and I could tell he really wants it. So we'll see

My big beautiful calves in motion.
Thinking about only doing calf training videos on tick tock.
I was trying to figure out a way to get popular on tick tock.
I asked my girl... What do I have that's really big that other guys don't have And want to make big?
She gave me a look... Then I realized what I said... And then added "muscle group"

even he doesn't use anything, we all know that proper diet and training plan can get you jacked.

Yeah he's definitely got the genetics for it. I know he's super skinny... But has ripped abs, obliques, great muscle tone... Considering he doesn't workout at all. I'll post some pictures soon.
But right now he's just on an eat everything possible diet. He's trying to get to 160lb by his birthday in late April. I told him to at least eat 3,000 calories a day, considering he's like I used to be and comfortable at like 1,200 calories a day he'll blow up quickly.
After he gets to 160-170 I'll have him start to focus on proper Macros and shit. But right now that boy just needs food and a lot of it.
