This is my Bluesky Log (or Blog, for short) of me and my attempt at a diet
Day 232-
Deadlift PR test! Goal was to get to 305 (and thus get my first lift to break 300) and... I succeeded! 2nd attempt, specifically.
I tried at 325 (the max amount of 2 inch plates I own) but couldn't even get it to budget off of the ground.
Normal workout routine shall resume tomorrow

3rd and final attempt... I'm gonna count it! I got just a smidgen further down and got the full range in!
It is official, my 1 rep max for squat is now 275.
This brings my combined big three up to 755, testing deadlift this Saturday. If i can add those last pair of 25s I have, I'll have over 800!

Second attempt!
Felt like a half rep. Reviewing the video, I'd say more like a 75-80% rep. Not terrible, but I WANT to finish it!

Day 229-
Squat PR test!
That means I did 135 for 1×12, 225 for 1×5, and...
275 for 1×1.
1st attempt had a REALLY clean fail. I set my safety bars at such a perfect height.

Took 3 tries and I apparently went through reverse puberty mid-rep, but I WIN!
I broke the 200 lbs barrier for flat bench pressing! Take that, bizarre weak state from a few weeks ago!

Bench press PR test... SUCCESS!!! 185, cleared! Now adding a 10 to each side to break the 200 barrier at 205
If no follow up post, you know I failed it.

Side note:
I decided to film myself during the lat pulls/shoulder raises to keep an eye on my form. At one point... I mean, you gotta flex a little when you see yourself mid-workout. It's, like, a law or something I'm pretty sure.
