2.5lb away from a one plate press. I'm still holding my elbows too far forward which pushes the bar away from me. They look vertical in the mirror and when I try to hold them lower it doesn't feel nice. Maybe I need to widen my grip even more so chest can stay out, bar sit on my chest, and elbows be vertical. But how wide is too wide?!?!?!
Tied my deadlift PR, hopefully with better form, couldn't record cuz my phone died.
No bad stories today. Just one dude complimenting me on my deadlift form.

8/11
Squat
1x5 55, 105, 125
5x5 145
Rower
11 min, 8 sprints
100 kcal burned
Squats felt like shit all week, except today they felt amazing. Not sure why.
Maybe because I was super warm and did a bunch of bodyweight squats with my nieces and nephews earlier.
Or maybe it's because I used a different rack today.
Or maybe it's because I wore different shoes. My lifting shoes have been bothering me. Maybe I'll try squatting heavy in my air forces 1's and see if it's better.
Don't know what it is but I'm happy they moved like air as they usually do. Hope I can say the same tomorrow.

Turns out it was the shoes.
I was only going to squat a single at 275 but it felt solid, so I went for 295. Felt way easier than 290! That fucking sticking point made sure to make an appearance though.
It could have moved faster. For a split second I was thinking of baling on this squat once I hit the sticking point, but my guardian angel told me not to be a pussy. Thank You, Lord.
Gym was closing so could only squat and row. Going to finish tomorrow I guess.
Now the question is, invest in new lifting shoes or just keep lifting in my air forces?

Pause Deadlift
1x3 135, 165, 195
5x3 215
Quite a fine day of bad decisions today!
Less caffeine and no food before lifting.
Forgot to bring water.
Sets of 8 pause squats before pause deadlifts (I didn't think it would fry my lower back so much
()
Pause deadlifts in air forces which are higher than my lifting shoes, so basically deficit pause deadlifts.
After so much stupidity, volume overhead presses were not happening. Got light headed even pressing the bar, and my shoulders were fried, prob from rowing last night.
Still hit a bench PR though ^_^
