achievement unlocked

3x5 back squat @ 225# (milestone PR)
3x5 bench @ 145#
+ some other not notable shit...

i'm convinced now more than ever that mindset plays a HUGE role in strength training. i've been struggling for weeks on bench press, hovering around 140-145. every time i'd go for 145 i'd falter on the last set and my bar speed would be slow throughout. it was no problem doing it right after setting that squat PR i've been after, though, easy even. bar speed was solid until the very last rep.

...75 more lbs on my 3x5 squat and you'll all be envious of my gnarly quad viking ink. mark my words.

  2. kinda sorta...I'm gonna give CFFB a shot for at least a month or two. I'm hooked on upping my strength numbers, but I'd like to get some conditioning going, so this should split the difference for now. Been reading the fuck out of Talk to me Johnnie. Awesome site.

  3. Word, forgot about that. Also I like what you did with the title of this post.
