Just hit 180lbs for 10 on the incline bench. Puts my one rep max at an estimated 240lbs. Currently weighing in at 156lbs.

I bought performance insoles and it got rid of the really bad pain I had in my quadriceps. I had a few 7 mile runs just to be sure that the problem was alleviated. I'm back in business.

I would definitely recommend taking this route to any runner if they're having ankle/hamstring/quad problems.

I'll be under 200 by sometime next month most likely, finally

Re: Misc. progress thread

I wouldn't really consider myself as someone who's fit relative to other people in this forum, but I did walk 13.2km yesterday which was a pretty nice number :)

Re: Misc. progress thread

My fitness levels are as bad as my fiffer scores, but I can say that my deadlift is outstanding at 550 x 3. I haven't actually done any benching, etc. in a long while. I should get back into it!

Did back squats for the first time in 18 months and found my one rep max at 315, currently weighing in at 155ish

Re: Misc. progress thread

When people talk about how much they lift, do they include the weight of the bar in their numbers? I just started using a bench press and I'm curious

Re: Misc. progress thread

include weight of bar

Re: Misc. progress thread

Thanks dude!

Re: Misc. progress thread

Yeah, the bar is 45 lbs so always add that. Assuming it's a standard bar. I've seen 35 lb bars in my gym. They're usually shorter.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Alright cool, thanks. Then I guess I'll start by saying that my current comfortable lifting weight is 95. I'm going to the gym more often now so that need should start to go up soon

Going to be logging all of my powerlifting progress on fitocracy from here out if anyone wants to follow what's going on.

Right now I'm cutting and focusing on a few things to prep myself for some strength gains this offseason, which will be in a few weeks for me.

For the time being:

All bench reps are 3 second paused reps. I want to be at a completely dead stop for this to have absolutely 0 stretch reflex. I need to build to strength off the bottom to help my bench (Realized I could bench 265x5 with a 1 inch board on my chest) because it's by far my biggest weakness on this lift.

I switched deadlift to conventional so I reset it @ 295 a few weeks ago. Slowly just moving it up over this cut in preparation for lifting conventional during this bulk.

Squat I completely reset a few weeks ago after 3 months of recovery after hip flexor injury. Extremely light right now, but I'm trying to re-strengthen those muscles. Going to push linear progression as hard as I can on this cut for those.

Re: Misc. progress thread

That's insane... Those numbers lol. I added an extra 10 onto my bench weight yesterday and it was remarkable how it felt that it was heavier, but still manageable

Also I tried my first deadlifts yesterday!

Re: Misc. progress thread

Fucking fitocracy, I can't see any of the workouts I've posted since July 18, and it's really pissing me off since I was relying on this to be able to record my lifts. Pretty mad. Have no idea what is going on; keep relogging the lifts, view in feed and they show up, and then they disappear. Want to shoot this site.

Hit a 205 incline bench today for 5 with 3 sec full pause on chest. Pretty happy with that.
