LOL. 1 week later and I PR another 5kg LOL.
It's 3:00AM, I'm driving back from S's house, thinking whether or not I should go to gym because I will need to sleep soon to get up for my gym date with C at 12pm that day (AKA in 9 hours). I decide to just go in and quickly ramp up to SRM and then fit in as many working sets as I can before 4:00AM (I wanted to get home before Mum woke up). So I'm there, spending about the first 15 minutes warming up and getting ready. Trying to give my quads a reeeeally good stretch (the problem I mentioned earlier was that my quads are EXTREMELY tight at the moment; I'll need to stretch alot more/ask B for some advice), just doing different stretches at different angles and also just sitting at the bottom of the squat for a few moments. I was contemplating not doing squats at all because I realised I really need some hamstring development, and that squats are too quad dominant (my quad to hamstring ratio looks like Tuan Tran's arms, except instead of his biceps he has my triceps LOL). Anyway yeah, so I went bar, 40 (PL style, just wanted to know what it was like..waste of my time), 60 for an easy 5, 80 for an easy 3, 100 for an decent 2, and an easy 110 single, and then boom 120. I was pretty happy, but it was quite laughable as well. I am PRing every single week. If this goes on, 140 is 4 5kg jumps away. Let's say they take around 2 weeks each from now on; that will mean that 140 is 8 weeks away aka around the end of May.
So yeah, May 31 I'm giving myself to hit 140. Oh and it'd be nice if my deadlift goes up too, but I won't be specifically training it. From now on it's going to be hamstring hamstring hamstring. Anyway, Mum's up soon. Will check back for Day 13 (in about 7 hours time).

LOL. I actually technically did 142.5kg, but stopped before I fully locked because my grip was slipping, and there was a nice old lady training there at 3am with me who I did not want to disturb and give the impression that I was some hooligan. But LOL, I got that thing off the floor and if anyone knows me, my sticking point is the floor - if it gets up then it will be locked out for sure (excepting grip). The reason why I am LOLing in caps is because I haven't trained the deadlift in a long time. I've done probably a few sets once every few months, but not actual deadlift training since last year when I hit 140. Now, out of the blue and without meaning to, I randomly decided to do deadlifts because I was too shmeh to go on with the cleans, and PR at 142.5 LOL. Man, this Squat Every Day thing is working all too well. I'm also referring to my BS PR a few days ahead of this (yes I can see into the future), and how ridiculous that was. There's only one problem, which I'll address on Day 12.

Day 4
Back Squat 115. Doubles @ 95, Triples @ 90. Fives @ 75.
Push Press 55. Triples @ 50, Fives @ 40.
5kg PR in a week, from squatting almost every day too. 110 PR was on Friday. Saturday I didn't do any squats. Sunday and Monday I SRMed Back Squats, and Tuesday I SRMed Front Squats. Yesterday (Wednesday, as I start writing each daily post in the AM of the next day), was my 115 PR so I'm very happy. I will want to SRM the 37.5 on DB Bench on Friday, hopefully.
So tired.
Peace.
PS. If anyone is reading this, please let me know. No one is meant to know this exists at the moment.
