Good Session.
I should say so! PR reps and then +90 chins for reps!

Thanks Soldog. Those chins do a great job of uncompressing my back after the DLs and squats.
I took a wider stance on the DLs (just inside where I grip the bar) and pointed my feet out a bit. That seems to transfer a good portion of the strain to the hamstrings rather than the back. Started up the GMs to build the glutes and hams up to take it.
I’m going to try the speed squats with bands next time. They were hella fast today with straight weight. Back to elevated deads for a week or two as well - I may see some improvement there with the wider stance.
Think I’m going to hang with 285 on bench, try to increase reps and work the bar down to the chest over the next month or two until I’m pressing it from a dead stop. Then I buy some new shirts.
All but one of my friends (the one who bought the 2400 USD power rack) think I am crazy to be doing this at my age…not counting all my online buddies here.
Assistance day on Tuesday with my fave - Overhead pin presses from the forehead. Looks freakin’ impressive to folks who don’t know any better.

He must be that 90 lb guy who hangs on when he does those chin-ups!

I get that allot too! You keep getting stronger, better, faster and they can keep wondering how you do it. You could try and explain it but they won’t understand…
I’m sick of the internet pseudonym thing. I am neither so important that I need to hide who I am online nor so fearful. I can understand that others may need anonymity, but it’s sorta ridiculous in my case. Besides too many use it as a safe haven for bashing others from cover. There’s something fundamentally unfair about snipers…
And: If someone doesn’t like what I say, they should have the right to know who said it.
Full name: Wade Anthony Dare. My parents always called me Tony. I don’t know why. At least it didn’t lead to gender orientation issues…
