Get psyched and you will nail it. I wish I went to a serious gym where I could get properly psyched up and throw weights around and stuff

How heavy is that heaviest db in the gym?

I'm honestly not sure, I used to think it was 70 pounds, but then I went to another gym and 70 pounds was really light so I think it is maybe 80...my db bench has stayed exactly the same because my gym doesn't go heavy, I can do the 90's for 5 reps at another gym though. My gym is really holding me back now, if I had heavier db's I guarantee I could blast through my bench plateau.

Lol I had my friend screaming in my face when I got 225x4, my gym is pretty chill it's not serious but I can pretty much do whatever I want, no staff around or anything.

Pullups: 14,10,8,8,8

I've started this pullups routine that I'm going to follow by the book. I'll be doing pullups 5 days a week, so 14,10,8,8,8 every day this week, then 15,10,9,8,8 next week. My endurance on pullups is crap right now, after the 14 I could barely do 5 so I did cheat pullups for the rest. Hopefully doing 50 pullups 5 days a week won't screw up my recovery too bad. I think I'm going to do deadlifts later today, my routine is gettign screwed up cause I've been gone a lot.

Comments:
Form on deadlifts was kind of bad, super hard set because I haven't deadlifted in 2 weeks and still jumped 10 pounds. I felt like my lower back was rounding on 360x5, but I had a belt and it didn't hurt, so I think it may have just been my upper back. Still there is no way I could have gotten 360x5 with good form without the belt. On squats I actually went true atg, ie my ass tocuhed the ground on every rep, and it was awesome! Felt much harder and I could really feel my lower body working, normally I got at least a few inches below parallel but this was awesome.

Cool bro I think you should stick with this 5x5 for a while longer seems like it's workin....

Nice workout bro. If this was your first time going true atg and it felt really hard I would advise you against increasing the weight a lot for your heavy day right away. Squatting atg and squatting parallel are two different monsters to tackle- also good shit on deads and rows- I bet you can hit 4 plates per side very soon!!

Yeah I am going to stick with it on all lifts but bench if it doesn't increase. I'm loving it for everything else though lol

Jdid: I'm going to keep going a few inches below parallel for my heavy days, and do atg for light days. It was awesome because instead of having to feel out where parallel is on each rep I just waited till my ass tocuhed the ground then went up lol
