Wait was is that first exercise? Nice pressing strength on military!

ah, sorry, i copy-pasted from a previous post. That first one is squat.

I'm still doing Starting Strength.

I missed several weeks of lifting once school started and things got really hectic for me. Also, my hip was bothering me when I squatted. Then I realized that I would lose all my progress if I didn't get back into it. I had kept eating like I was lifting but I wasn't, so I started putting on fat really fast. Fortunately, that eating also helped me not lose much muscle. Once spring break started, I hit the gym every day, and I've been able to keep it going since then.

So it took a couple weeks to get back to hitting PR's, which is why I waited to post until after today's workout. Finally I'm there again. My hip still is sore, but I cleaned up my squat form a little and it feels quite a bit better.

Didn't squat today... yesterday I went skiing all day and my legs were shot today. Had to get one last day in before they close they mountain. It wiped me out physically and honestly I didn't think I would be able to lift at all today I was so tired and stiff, even my upper body, but I warmed up and stretched a bit longer than usual and was able to.

Bench Press:
warmup: 2x5 - 45
warmup: 1x5 - 65
warmup: 1x3 - 95
warmup: 1x3 - 135
working sets: 3x5 180 PR


Deadlifts:
warmup: 1x5 135
warmup: 1x5 - 185
warmup: 1x3 - 225
working set: 1x5 - 295 PR

I thought that just doing 2 lifts would be cheating, so I did 4 sets of weighted declining situps with a 25 lb plate, and 2 sets of OH squats with 25's on the bar. Nothing heavy or demanding... just wanted to spend some more time with the iron and sweat some more.

Wow nice deadlift and bench pr's!

Haha is it normal that I feel like my face is going to explode when I'm deadlifting heavy weights? I get all red and shit, lol. The bench is a big jump from my last post on here where I benched, because even when my hip was messed up and I wasn't squatting, I kept doing upper body stuff like bench and back exercises.

Yes it's normal lol. Yesterday, I was so red/sweaty after my deadlifts that 2 of my friends actually came up to me and asked if i was ok

On my top set of deadlifts it feel like my heads is going to explode, and veins start popping out all over my neck. I start to swell and look like a tomato lol! When I set down the weight after the final rep I ususally stumble over to a bench and take my belt off, and then rest for a long time trying to regain life lol! Same on a heavy 8 repper for squats.
