Fun day at the gym after finishing up a 16 week block and deload. Saw a woman quit on an apparent PR attempt (her workout partner was filming). Her hips shot up each time. I was still putting on my sleeves and didn't warm up yet but I knew she could get it. I asked if I could provide two tips and she agreed. Quick session and she hit a 35 lb PR. She was so excited and it was awesome! * * * Snatch-grip DLs. 305x5 shown here. (at Augusta, Georgia)

Good ol' floor presses to close out another 16 week block. I had a long hiatus from lifting so it was nice to get back into it. Can't wait to approach the numbers I was at before. OHP: 45x5, 80x5, 95x3, 110x2, 120x1, 125x1, 135x1, 140x4 Floor Press: 135x5, 200x3x5 Accessories (at Augusta, Georgia)

Shared this to show the mini battles you have in your head during a session. I walked back to the bar because I'm still battling the doubters between my ears. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own way and fight for that next rep to grow. * * * * DL: 185x7, 245x5, 285x3, 335x2, 385x1, 425x5. Front Squat: 135x5, 185x3, 235x4x3 Good Mornings: 135x3x8 (at Augusta, Georgia)

OHP werk. Gym was super crowded today. Started increasing my back volume by doing chin-ups and/or pull-ups after pushing working sets. Nothing crazy, just 3 or 4 reps after each press. Don't neglect your back! Face Pulls: 40x2x25 OHP: 45x8, 95x3, 110x1, 125x1, 130x4x3, 130XAMRAP Close-grip chins: 5x4 Floor Press: 135x5, 190x3x5 Pull-ups: 4x3 Lat Pulldowns: 60x4x10 Tricep Pushdowns: 60x3x12 Alt Hammer Curls: 45x3x12 (at Augusta, Georgia)

Back to business away from my real home and garage gym. Part of today's work. Warm-up DL: 135x7, 225x5, 295x3, 330x1, 365x1, 385x4x3, 385xAMRAP Front Squats: 135x8, 185x5, 215x4x3 Good Mornings: 125x3x10 (at Augusta, Georgia)

More awkward camera angles. I’m the worst at this. First time in a long time I could see my breath in the garage. Brrr. 75% TM 4x3. 5th set AMRAP here.

Depth wasn’t consistent tonight. SN: my camerawoman might be tipsy. 75% TM, 330x4x3. 5th set AMRAP here.
