Good job so far - it looks like you've got some PRs coming up next week.

The deads looked easy enough, but I noticed you start to lose your arch and round your back a little towards the end of the set. Don't slack off with your form after the final rep. The last thing you want is to pick up an injury after successfully completing a set.

Thanks, I hope so..

Yeah it was pretty hard to get the last one off the floor so this might have lead to a bad form.

Everything's moving, lookin good still! Good job!

 

[babaa]

thanks, looks like this will work for a few more weeks

 

[ZGzaZ]

A few more?! I'm on week 19 on mine...keep the mindset that you will keep progressing, and eat for it, and you'll be fine for a lot longer than a few more weeks.

 

[anotherbutters]

Is that a PR for bench and rows?

 

[babaa]

I don't know if I will be able to handle that volume since there is no deload in between the week, but we'll see


yeah, I guess, but with my weight going up to 85 this is not such a big thing..
