Another blast, another year!

40 lb? lol, i thought you would go like 10 lb more

Well I pulled 347lb and it felt light. So I jumped up to 387 (a 20lb PR) and it was still a little too easy.
I was on Facebook live... So a little bit of ego and a whole lot of gear.... 407lb.
I swear I could have kept going but I'm really trying to be smarter.

37 years old today

Benched 111lbs 37 times.
Born on 1/11 and turned 37 years old... It made sense to me .
Took about 3 minutes, a lot harder than I thought. I have video... Very slow and controlled full reps. No NFL columbine bouncing half rep bullshit!

because 111 lb sounds like when you're only doing like 10 of them.

Oh yeah... Just not the kind you cut with a knife...

And yeah my triceps and chest are still feeling it. Might apply something similar to my routine every so often. Pick a decent weight and get 40 reps. The pump I had after was nuts... And shit like that will force growth

My girl and I both hit 10lb PRs on bench today.
I'm now at 257 and she's at 127.
Here's a few pictures I thought you guys might like as proof.
It's amazing how I can even focus...

Finally got my girl to pose for some pictures. Really wish we had before pictures... But yeah... For a 39 year old mom.
And this is a girl who eats whatever she wants whenever.

congrats to both of you. and yeah, she looks great!

Her diet really aggravates me . She's put on 10lbs of muscle since we started (like 6-7 weeks now) and she's eating fucking candy and shit. She has the diet of a fucking teenager... Or a 300lb person.
But I can't complain... It's working for her.
I told her if she actually started taking diet seriously she has a decent shot at competing in masters.

We drop it low in this house!
New safety squat bar attachment, new PRs!
My left shoulder prevents me from putting more than 200lb on the bar during a low bar squat. But now that's no longer a problem.
She hit 167lb for one and I got 303lb for 2 full deep slow reps.
I have WAYYYYYY MORE in me.
Kept increasing the weight until it felt like I actually had to work for it. Had to increase the weight 9 different times for that to happen.
I'm so close to my 1000lb total. I know I can get it with just my deadlift and squat... But I want to increase my bench.

Really starting to like this powerlifting shit

'm so close to my 1000lb total.

don't forget to get yourself the "1000lb club" shirt when you do

It's funny you think I'd get just one
Think I'm going to get my girl a 600lb club hoodie once she gets there.

My only real debate is if I want to keep going to a 1200lb total...
