Thanks. It’s just something that I deal with when I push it really hard on strict presses or log presses it seems. Doesn’t always happen.

So I guessed my weight last session and figured it’d have gone up but nope. To my dismay I’m all the way down to 218 with a full piss in me and breakfast. I need to pick up the slack, definitely stressed lately and not eating as much as i need to be. I feel a bit weak physically too. Need to be better.

500x5 felt fine, had probably 5 more, but i tore the shit out of my thumb, so RIP deads.
Honestly this was a totally fine day back doing deadlifts. Aside from my stupid fucking hand (or brain because I should know my callouses aren’t prepped for reps on hook grip), it went well.

Are you currently trying to lose/gain weight at all or just focused purely on strength?
Just dealing with some personal issues, thus training has became so much of an effort. I wasn’t (still am not) eating as much, and my mental well-being siphoned all of my strength away.
Still feeding the fire as much kindling as possible. No excuse to not train, but I have to be mindful about how I do this.

Okay this workout was actually great. Still weak, but I had a tri pump which was kind of alien feeling. Gonna train those muscles more.
I hear you; hey, sometimes lifting takes a back seat to life gasp
I really enjoy the consistent simplicity of your workouts. Efficient and no useless crap that I tend to add to mine for a few weeks before realizing I need to cut it.

Could probably just refrain from logging until I have an actual workout to post.
Thanks man, I’ll come back around.

585x1 hook grip, ridiculously fast and easy. God it feels good to deadlift something heavy again.
I added up all the weights I have, and I have enough plates for exactly 880lbs on the bar, should that even fit on the sleeves. Looks like I have more than enough weights to grow into for a life time.

Hope you feel better soon, man.
You don’t seem to be benching at the moment. Is there a particular reason to that?
