I briefly touched on this subject in my previous Morning Coffee Talk vid, but I wanted to talk about it in more depth in a seperate video. This ended up being pretty long! So get comfy, grab a coffee or something, and let's hang out! What are your thoughts? Do you like Social Media? Do you agree, or disagree? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! ??
Man, I was not feeling strong at all today. Ques felt off, unracking game was really off, etc. However, my MIND wanted to excel. Despite everything, having 110 percent confidence makes all of the difference. The hardest part was just unracking the bar, but the rep itself went just fine. I just realized that you can't quite see all of the weight on the bar, particularly the 2.5 Kg plate at the end. That is unfortunate. I AIN'T NO LIAR, THOUGH. 120 Kgs MINIMUM is coming this year ??.

I haven't done pin press for bench in quite a long time, so I figured I would give these a go again, as I want to keep focusing on building that off the chest pressing speed. I have the pins set so that the bar lands about just a hair off of my chest; practically grazing it. I make sure the bar is at a complete deadstop, while maintaining tightness, and my pressing position, then explode as fast and hard as I can. Despite not doing these for a long time, they actually felt pretty good, and were not nearly as frustrating as I thought they would be.

Deadlift session was a bit underwhelming, today. So I was determined to make some sort of progress, today. One step at a time ??

Man, this song always takes me back, hahaha. I was blasting Children of Bodom in my ears when lifting in my basement back in Canada, as a young teen. Good timez ??.

First time doing Paused Deadlifts in quite a while. This is also by far the most amount of weight I have ever done paused, and for reps, so I am pretty pleased with this. I think I had another 2-3 reps in the tank. I couldn't do my back-off sets, though, due to being rushed to get to work right after this, lol. I have to say, these felt really good; especially since I don't have a ton of experience with them, and have not done them in a long time. I'm looking forward to doing these more ??.

My family is over for a visit in the Netherlands, as I mentioned in my last vid; and they had just come back before my top set, so I had another audience to perform for again today, hahaha. The workout went very well! I think I could have grinded out at least one more rep here too, but it's better to leave some in the tank, for now. Next week I am pulling 180 Kgs FOR REPS, baby. I want to save as much as I can, for then.

I decided to up the resistance by using my red band, the heaviest one I have currently; which is between 12-37 Kgs of resistance. These are feeling pretty good! I am looking forward to pushing these, more ??.

I slept horribly the night before this session. I also did this right after working at the gym, so I was feeling very tired and weak, today. Despite that, the squats went fairly well, albeit being more difficult and taxing than it would have been, normally. The rest of the session was kind of underwhelming, though; as I was pretty exhausted after the squats. So I had to dial back the benching, and accessory work a bit, and do what I could. Can't win 'em all!

Considering how I have been so drained lately, I am actually really quite pleased with this session. I felt a bit better than during yesterday's bench session, but definitely still feeling weak. My explosive strength/speed in particular was just not there, today. My original goal was 5 reps, but that was based on me going in to the session feeling good, and strong. I thought I would be lucky to hit 3 reps in my current state, so I initially decided to play it safe, and shoot for that. However, this went better than I expected, so I pushed it a little harder. I am 100 % sure I could have hit five here, but I could feel my lower back was starting to feel funky/fatigued, so I decided to call it at 4, and not risk over-exerting myself. 5-6 reps at the very least would have been there, if I didn't sabotage myself with fatigue. This is still the most weight I have repped with the deadlift to date, so far; so all in all I am really happy this. I got in some good solid work, while still leaving some in the tank, to preserve myself.
