Nice. What kind of times do you row?
Finished all 3 weeks of Smolov Jr bench. I was probably too beginner in the first place and I chose the wrong week to week increments. It was tough but I got through it. I’m no expert powerlifting expert but 10x3 at 92% 1RM seems aggressive haha.
I will probably test my new 1RM on Wednesday.

Decided to break protocol and test my new 1RM on bench today. Added +10 lbs, probably could have grinded out another 5 lbs. I should have waited until Wednesday like I had planned and pushed more weight, but I'm happy I got it. Achieved 125% BW on bench which is a nice checkpoint.

yeah man Ladder
or was it those handjobs Rubashov was blackmailing me into giving him .. ???
Yeah those ladders are always iffy aye..
I hate doing aerobic, it's so boring to me. But a rower is okay while I watch something. But I'm not even looking at the display on it. I just do some slow rowing for 20-30 minutes one day and then interval training other days. Usually 30 sec slow, 20 sec medium, then a full sprint for 10 sec. Then repeat for 10 min.

Wuss. Push yourself. Here’s an easy one. See how many calories you can burn in one minute. I did 31 calories once. Heart rate had to be close to 200 at the end lol.
Yearly bump, how's everyone doing?
I think I'm about 2.5-3 years into lifting/fitness at this point. Before that, I was obese but lost the weight using unhealthy practices/didn't go to gym at all. My progress has slown down quite a bit even with increased knowledge, but I think that's just the nature of being more advanced and getting also getting old
The good news is that for anyone thinking about starting, those newbie gains are incredible!
I have gotten stronger on all my lifts, just at a much slower pace. I took a diet break for the holidays, but before that I was about 160 lbs at around 15-17% body fat, probably about 10 lbs of fat away from being shredded. My bench press E1RM is about 240 lbs at the moment. In the new year I will try to cut down, but at the same time I just love food and drinks so much lol. If I get there, I get there....but I'd like to be shredded one time in my life. I think I will be shifting more to a powerlifting style, get back to squatting and maybe even try deadlifting for the first time (cries in lower back pain).
Hoping everyone has been able to stay on track of their goals. If not, it's always a good time to get back at it!
