Aurelius's Workout Shenanigans

[aurelius]

I will post shit here.

I'm 36, 5'9", 180 pounds. I have been lifting since I was 31. I'm dead sexy. My PR's are:
Squat: 485# BW@180

Deadlift: 545# BW@180

Bench Press: 315# BW@190

I liked your other 485 squat video better. You should upload more.
You get 10 courage points towards your bravery badge for even uploading that.

Srs, Nice lifting tho. You're lifts are up there now.
Maybe you need to step up to a real PL gym.
The "atmosphere" of a real iron gym is quite a bit more conducive I think.

But yeah, lifetime is pretty nice.

The 485# fail video where I nearly break my back and kill the attractive woman spotting?

I'm debating what I want to do. Keep getting stronger like a mook. Which means eking out marginal strength gains for years while I feel like someone beat me with a bat all the time. I'm not too positive about that. Or going to bodybuilding for a stint like a brah. Ladies respond better to the lean.

Deadlift: 545# BW@180
Bench Press: 315# BW@190
Press: 215# BW@190

Our lifts/bodyweight are very similar. I'm a shorty though.

She doooooooo.

And you're an idiot.

Nice! I feel that 170 to 190 max is a good weight for people of our frame. I know that being lighter keeps my lifts down but I just don't want to look like a human box walking around.

[aurelius]

And you're an idiot.

Normally I would take offense, disagee, and make a comment about your mother. But since I posted video evidence in support of your statement, I will take the high road.

Haha well i'm 5'6. I look a little squatty. I think for the purpose of attracting women I could probably stand to trim down to 175-ish. I would be alot leaner too...

[aurelius]

I messed up the first one and my main main Chebass88 is gonna hook me up with a brand spanking new log!

I think your best bet would be to try your best to get over 6'.

It amuses me to post here in this one, instead of the other one. DYEL? No lifts are here.

Oh Lord - you think I haven't tried?!? =D

[Chebass88]

Let me know if that is satisfactory, and I'll delete the old one.

You da man! Thank you.

[aurelius]

Been doing maintenance for awhile. Did a mini-peak where I worked up to 95% of maxes.

Deadlift 520#: This was harder than I wanted it to be. Don't know if I could pull 545# anymore.

Squat 460#: This actually felt good. I'm either right at depth or a smidge above. Definitely could do 485# if not more.

HB 2 ct paused Squat 3x3: Posted for variety. And because you pervs like looking at my butt.
