Girl, spending time with you is long Ovrdue. But I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait 😉 • • • • #ovrdue #miata #namiata #cars #jdm (at San Marcos, California)

Weightlifting is almost as exciting as powerlifting. Almost. Change my mind 🐸☕️ Le shenanigans Cleans x3, top set of 82.5kg/181.9lbs Overhead squat x6, top set of 50kg/110.25lbs “2 board” bench x8, top set of 90kg/198.45lbs Time for deaload 🙏🏽 k bye #powerlifting #weightlifting #clean #snatch #squats #benchpress #rogue #eleiko #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #convoystrength #manimal #standapart @manimalstrong (at Convoy Strength)

Just follow what your coach says and you’ll make instant gainz. I promise you. 🐸☕️ • And can someone please explain why my deadlifts get faster the more reps I do? Like... it bamboozles me sometimes. Like my first rep looks like it won’t break the ground for a second, then reps 2-8 just fly. I’m not complaining tho 🤷🏽‍♂️ • Le shenanigans: First clip: top set of 8x8 w/ 190kg/418.95lbs, beltless and ez. 🍑 Third clip: 7th set of 8 w/ 185kg/407.9lbs. Sexual. Second clip: Throw⬅️ 3 months ago, May 4. Same top set weight at 190kg/ 418.95 lbs, but it was my top set of 4x7, and with a belt too, mind you. Reps looked way slower , didn’t look as easy and weren’t as explosive as what I’m doing now. I was also around 175ish then, and I just weighed 167.8 this morning. Gains. Again, just do what your coach tells you. • On a note of doing what your coach says, I USED TO go off program sometimes (when I first started) and maxed out when I wasn’t supposed to. Twas no bueno, and you don’t make gains like that. So save the PR or ER for the platform. Thank me later. Again, just listen to your coach (and make sure you get a good one that you’re happy with; but don’t get one that does easy programming. A good coach should push you to your limits without breaking you. If they’re pushing you, they love you and want you to become better. Just an FYI.)💪🏽 • #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #powerlifting #deadlift #deadpool #pullsumoeatbutt #convoyzoo #convoystrength #rogue #roguefitness #rogue #legday (at Convoy Strength)

Beltless volume work really isn’t that bad, change my mind 🐸☕️ Le shenanigans: Top set of 8 beltless and highbar skwats with 137.5kg/303lbs. That smile at the end says it all 😁 And (still poverty) bench with an attempted 8 🌚 with 87.5kg/192.9lbs for 7 successful reps 😢 #convoystrength #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #squats #benchpress #usapl #usapowerlifting #depthbeforedishonor #asstograss #apemanstrong #apemanrising #manimal #standapart (at Convoy Strength)

Hot days means you have the option to unleash your thicc and fluffyness 🥞 Le main shenanigans: Trap bar deads x12 Shown: top set of 185kg (bar is 35kg)/ 407.9lbs #powerlifting #usapl #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #shirtlessboys #thicc #deadlifts #convoystrength (at Convoy Strength)

Filling out the 74s ain’t so bad 🍑 @williamsquats @sallad_shittenden #smolboy #thiccbois (at Convoy Strength)

“The faster you run, the faster you’re done.” - @ufy16; but in this case, the faster you do your squats, the faster you escape death 🍑 • Los shenanigans: 8x8 beltless and highbar squats (but I’m not sure if I did 8 sets or 9 sets, since I lost count 3/4 of the way through, since brain no worky in this heat 🌚) Last (finally successful) sets shown with 135kg/297.6lbs and 132.5kg/292.1lbs. And gah damn my legs are lookin thicc and joocy 🌚🍑 #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #squats #powerlifting #usapl #usapowerlifting #convoystrength #convoyzoo #🍑 #depthbeforedishonor #eleiko #rogue #deadpool #maximumeffort (at Convoy Strength)

Hybrid af? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Le shenanigans: Did some oly lifts along with day 5, due to some time constraints throughout the week. Cleans x3 with a top set of 80kg/176.4lbs Overhead skwats x6 with a top set of 50kg/110.25lbs; 45kg/99lbs also shown 2board binch with 85kg/187lbs #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #powerlifting #weightlifting #hybrid #usapl #usaw #convoystrength #snatch #clean #benchpress #manimal #standapart (at Convoy Strength)

Wear the crest with strength and pride. #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting 💪🏽 What drives you? 🤔 For me, it’s a couple things. First is my team; I want our name to revered and gain notoriety as the team to keep an eye on in every meet we go to. Second, it’s my failure of the teen 3 state record; the feeling sickens me every time I think about it and I personally want to make sure that it never happens again. Junior state record, I’m coming for you. Third, I wanna be one of the best 74kg lifters ever. ‘Nuff said. Today’s main shenanigans: Beltless deadlift volume with sets of 8. Final two sets shown. Clip 1: 180kg/ 396.9lbs Clip 2: 175kg/ 385.8lbs Both sets looked speedy and juicy. And speaking of juicy, my thighs and butt look purty gewd 👀🍑 #convoystrength #usapl #usapowerlifting #powerlifting #deadlift #pullsumoeatbutt #🍑 (at Convoy Strength)

My squats never fail to disappoint me 😤. But good news is that I think my form looks better than that of two days ago. Bad news: didn’t finish my last set (but I did 5 more reps after that to make up for it) and my lower back is shot and cramped up 👍🏽 Today’s main shenanigans: More beltless high bar volume with my last set of 8 with an attempted 142.5kg/315lbs. #squats #squatmoreplc #powerlifting #csusmpowerlifting #convoystrength #depthbeforedishonor #usapl #usapowerlifting #usaplca (at Convoy Strength)

Some good ol bardio in 90 degree heat 👌🏽 Today’s main shenanigans: 4x12 trap bar deadlifts with a top set of 195kg/ 430lbs (trap bar is 30kg). Good news; I didn’t die. Bad news; I need to be more consistent with form. #squatmoreplc #convoystrength #usapl #usapowerlifting #deadlifts #csusmpowerlifting #repsforjesus (at Convoy Strength)

Remember kids, stay tight all the time so you don’t die 🙃 142.5kg/ 314.2lbs for an attempted top set of 8. Did 7, lost tightness at the bottom of 8. I’m gonna fix this tightness issue and try this again come day 3 of week 2 (aka Wednesday) 😒 Thanks @williamsquats for making sure I didn’t die #squats #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #powerlifting #usapl #usapowerlifting #convoystrength #depthbeforedishonor (at Convoy Strength)

The hypertrophy phase is actually kinda fun, change my mind 🐸☕️ Today’s shenanigans: 2 “board” bench with my top set of 85kg/ 187lbs X 8; I played around with my grip and went full legal length with it, and I’m gonna play with it and see if I like it. Just tryna get a bigger and stronger bench, ya feel? 🤷🏽‍♂️ And some oly-ish lifts that I’m making up for since I didn’t have time to do them the other day; top set of overhead squats with 45kg/ 99lbs for 6 and 15mins of jerk practice with 40kg/88.2lbs Tokyo 202 here I come 😂😛 #powerlifting #weightlifting #usaw #usapl #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #convoystrength #usapowerlifting #benchpress #snatch #squats (at Convoy Strength)

Dale is switching to hook grip and conventional, whaaatttt??? (Swipe left)👀👀🍑 • • Lol naaaahhhh 😂, but I am giving hook grip a try. And they say that your thumbs are gonna get used to it, but they still hurt 🙃 Today’s shenanigans: 4x3 cleans at RPE 7 (they don’t look the best, I know 🙃) with a top set of 80kg/ 176.4lbs And 4x8 deadlifts with my top set at 167.5kg/ 369lbs #pullsumoeatbutt #deadlift #powerlifting #weightlifting #squatmoreplc #csusmpowerlifting #usapl #usapowerlifting #usaplca #cleans #usaw #quads (at Convoy Strength)
