May of 2023 and today.
Just squatted my bodyweight for 10 reps. That's a new PR.
And I think I can finally say that I have traps now
.
I remember not having them for the longest fucking time. For 4 years all I wanted was traps and lats.
Still not where I want them to be, but coming along nicely.
Also when I first started working out 4 years ago, back when I weighed 137lbs. My thigh was 18" around. Just measured them at 24"
Fun fact... My calves are 17.5"
So... For the math illiterate, that means my calves are virtually the same size that my thighs used to be!!

Woke up at 209lb. That's the heaviest I've ever woken up.
Another PR today, 267lb on bench. That shit was heavy... Definitely my hardest lift yet. If it was 268 it wouldn't have went up.
Props to my girl for not touching the bar!
Going to take a week off of heavy benching and try it again in a week. See if I can make it look a little better. Only 8lbs away from my goal of 275 and only 23lbs away from my 1000lb total.
Friday or Saturday I'm going for another squat PR. Thinking about trying 325lb.
Your boy over here looking thick!

I've been getting a lot of benching tips over the past week.
I think my biggest problem was I fatigued myself too much before hand. Was supposed to do volume and about halfway through decided to try a PR.
But yeah over the next week or so I'll only do volume work for chest.
Probably going to try and PR on squat tomorrow. Biceps and shoulders today.
But I'll definitely give my chest, back and triceps some time to recover

told you 1,200 lb is not that far away.

Yeah honestly that 343 went up pretty easy. But I have no way to fail or bail on a squat in my house. And my bar is only rated for 300lbs (damn standard barbells) so it looks like we're going to be joining a gym for future squats, deadlift and bench work.told you 1,200 lb is not that far away.
I think my squat is somewhere between 375 and 400lbs. But I need a real rack and spotter arms to try. Today I'm doing my pull day (no heavy benching) and tomorrow is deadlifts... Thinking about trying another PR.
If I can get closer to 500lb on deadlift and 400 on squat... Then yeah 1200 won't be out of the realm of possibility
hell yeah .this is where the shit gets real . traps are what separates a lot of guys and legs of course. looks like you're getting to the full package deal. looking good brother .Your boy has fucking traps now!!
Getting so sexy I might have to start charging for these shirtless pics

Well they are only 16 days apart. And like a pound and half difference. Body hair makes a big difference too.
Last night laying in bed my girl asked
"Did you ever think you were going to be this big" my first thought was... I'm not that big.
Then I remembered I'm over 70lbs heavier than the guy she first met.
So I thought about it for a minute and said yeah one day I definitely expected to be this big, but didn't think I could do it in 4 years.
I also told her, I'm not done yet and will be getting a little bigger... She just rolled her eyes at me

idk, to me it seems like there's way more than just a pound and half difference. maybe indeed the body hair is what makes me think this way. idk

Well we both know how weird the body is... I looked bigger at 186 than 196.
Especially with carbs and all that.
I'm just happy others can see progress as well

Yeah my girl ordered it the day I squated 343 and broke the 1000lb mark.started wondering when you're gonna get it
She told me I don't need another hoodie because she thinks I'm going to go for the 1,200 and once I get it I won't wear the 1,000lb hoodies... And I don't need 2 I won't wear
. She's not wrong... But I agreed and will only get a T-shirt and cut the sleeves off when it gets warmer.
