lifting more

Good workout this morning. 315 on the squat rack. The goal is 350 by the end of the year. I did 315 on set number 9, I’m pretty confident of hitting the goal. I was stuck at a 250 squat for far too long, but I concentrated on lower body work for most of the year. Relatively speaking it’s not a great squat, but I don’t have the body type for squatting; long skinny legs and a barrel torso.

The semi-long-term goal is 300 bench, 400 squat and 500 deadlift. I’ve hit a 365 deadlift and 275 bench without too much effort, so I should be able to hit 300 bench and 400 deadlift in another two months.

I haven’t benched much in nearly a year, trying to rehab the left shoulder after surgery and trying to prehab the right shoulder and prevent surgery. The gym has only 100lb dumbells, so I needed to move back to bench since the dumbells were getting too light.
