We have only been going on about it endlessly for like a decade or whatever.
Yea but old jokes is all I’ve got
That’s because yer old
Bench day today. I still have no confidence in anything over 130, but it all went up. 140 got out of groove and probably looked weird, but fuck off…it was still 140.
Slowly turning up the heat on the inclines again. 115 was really tough, backoffs were better.

Squat day. Was not optimistic, because I slept terribly last night (and drank to much, Fridays etc.). So of course I destroyed it. 170 for 3 is a PR, and while the form nazis would not have loved them, they were good enough for me.

Lots of walking up the incline.
Overhead day. Warmed up strict, shifted to push. I believe the topset ties a PR. Not really sure about the set at 90, I think I might have done 10 there before. Still, better than last time.

Deadlifts on the program today. I have been going pretty hard for a few weeks, so kinda felt today would be a good day to go easy. I also forgot to do jumps last week, so I doubled down on that. Lots of jumps at 40 inches, they are pretty trivial these days (which was the intent).

Walked fast up the pretend hill
I would have pretended to walk up a fast hill.
Ugh, I turned 50 today. That’s it, that’s the end of my training career.
Happy birthday sir
Mate. Massive happy birthday to you mate. Time to look for some age group powerlifting comps near you. Hope you have a great day.
Happy birthday mate!
Yes, I just have to find a special kind of comp that caters to all the things I excel in. Such as too-high squats and bouncy benching.
