Hey just seen that picture now. They’re stretch marks. I don’t think there’s anything you can do about them. They usually fade after a few months till eventually they’re whiteish and basically unnoticeable. Have a look online and you’ll see better.

No worries. Also i know you don’t plan on maxing out anytime soon, but you must be close to a bw press by now? That’ll be awesome.
Yep, my actual max is aroung 80kg so there are 5 more kgs left. However Im not keen on pressing, I actually enjoy by far the PLing movements. How are you going with your strongman stuff? I saw yo had some health problems isnt it?
For someone whos not keen on pressing you’re damn good at it. I haven’t been able to lift so i now do BJJ and MMA. It’s not the same but it’s something i suppose.

I think I got a cold last night and I was also sored so it wasnt going to be a great day. At least today was deadlift day, something is something. Training when you are motivated is easy but keep the grind even when you arent feeling good is the difference between the average person and the ones that are ready to smash everything that is on their way.
Deadlift
5x105kg
5x115kg
AMRAPx135kg I got 11 reps. 2 more than last pr 
Squat
5x10 75kg
Paloff press
3x10
Abs wheel
3x10
Also did grip exercises as isometric hang on a fat bar and some farmer walks but nothing amazing.

Relaxed day today. Went to the gym to do some cardio and relax my joints and it went well. Did a barbell complex and 400m swimming.
The complex was 5 cleans, 5 push press, 5 front squats, 5 deadlifts and 5 bent over rows. 4 sets of this and sweating is assured
Im ill and have a lot of exams but Im skipping gym? Nope. Just felt kind of heavy but no problem.
Bench press
3x70kg
3x80kg
AMRAPx90kg I got 6 reps. 1 more than last time

No time even to post here. Yesterday I only squated because I had to study and today was rest day. I really want to finish my exams and have time to do things that I actually enjoy doing.
Yesterday’s workout:
Squat
3x95kg
3x100kg
AMRAPx115kg I got 10 reps. While doing the 8th rep, a bastard started saying that I wasnt going to do it and that I was going to get injuried so next time stfu and keep doing your legs extensions instead b*tch
Today was pressing day and it actually felt good with no elbow pain so it helped with the new pr.
Press
3x55kg
3x60kg
AMRAPx70kg I got 6. Thats a 2 rep increase from last time
Bench press
5x10 65kg
Close grip bench press
3x10 65kg
Rows

Have you considered more row work? Maybe super set barbell rows with the same weight you are pressing…
I havent thought of it, just using a bigger dumbbell next time because they got easy. Also the biggest dumbbell in my gym is 40kg so when I get there I’ll start doing pendlay rows or something like that. Do you think I should be doing more back work?
Yeah, your rowing seems low. I’ve always heard to shoot for a 2:1 ratio of reps.
2 rows / back variations : 1 press
