Dchris's Grappling with Age

10x40lbs

Edit: I must be getting leaner, cause the sexy bicep veins are starting to get closer to my shoulder.

Thanks Slaya and Chicken. That one was a bigger milestone. Throughout my off and ons I never hit it. Now to just that weight overhead.

Right shoulder blade and lower back have been tight since Sunday. Been stretching and keeping things easy.

3 minutes stairclimber - then my pet chicken came and got me. Lmao long story. Haha

Hopefully I can hit legs tonight. Ill be traveling overnight tomorrow. The 95lb front squats are a Jarvan thing. A guy who posted here years ago used to swear by light front squats. Not gonna lie, my quads are extremely pumped. Maybe he was onto something.

PR rep. @T3hPwnisher would appreciate your feedback. Does it look like I’m too narrow on my grip?

Workouts were short and inconsistent last week. Birthday was this weekend so didn’t eat all that great either. Hoping to bring things in line starting the first. Until then, I’ve got an ice cream cake and girl scout cookies to devour.

The 245 probably was too wide of stance and form broke down a bit.
