I want to destroy them all
Hahaha...I'm also kinda in the middle. I'm an Atheist so a lot of religion related issues aren't ones I side with religion on but I am at the same time very fiscally conservative and free-market oriented. Like I said: it just depends on the issue.
I am also very spiritual (as in I believe in energy and a pattern of the way life works) just not religious and since I come from parents who have different backgrounds (my father is Greek Orthodox and I have been baptized and my mother is Hindu) and they themselves aren't religious, it's hard for me to grasp moral values through religion. I just look at some things being right and some things being wrong. God doesn't factor into these things for me. Nor does the afterlife. I only care about this life which I can control and make the best of.
I'm very happy to hear of you doing well with Tammy, Future. It sounds great and I think having a baby would be awesome Wish her luck on the BA in Business. I'm getting a BSc in Business Administration with a Concentration in Finance. Which school is she attending?
I don't do these 5RM calculators. All that I care about is what happens at the time. In the sense, take my Deadlift for example. My 5RM is probably 425 or so but my 1RM is 475 when it should technically be much more. Same goes with Bench Press: I can do 3x5 with 205 but I can BARELY hit 245 for a single. At the same time, I can squat 315 for 2 or 3 reps at the most but I can squat 365 for a single any damn day of the week lol...So I don't rely on these calculators.
You're right: my current max on bench is 225 (as in it's something I can hit any day of the week) but I hit 245 like a year ago lol...and I haven't benched for 9 months of the last year haha...
Congrats on having such good OHSquats, dude. I am really glad you find the exercise rewarding. I hope you go deep and have great mobility in your hips and ankles. If you play this right you will have a strong ass core my friend!
145x5 is really good actually. Try doing 3x3 with 145. That would be a good progression. You took your 5RM and did 3x3=9 reps with that. I am sure once you hit 145x3x3 you can hit in the 160-170 range much more easily. One of the biggest problems with Oh Squats is getting the bar up and then being stable when you squat. I know when I hit the 170+ mark I probably swing around a bit because the bar is so high up lol...
Congrats once again on that OH squat. Really solid, dude.
Thanks for the compliments, but I was talking about OH press, not overhead squats I do like overhead squats I just haven't had a ton of time to fit them in my routine, cause I'm already squatting and running 3 days a week. You have motivated me to do 1x5x145 on overhead squats now though
