So I got my squat up to 360, but I’ve started to get achy hips. I need to reel things back. I need to take it a little bit easier I’m only 150 lb . I feel as though I need more weight on my body to justify moving that sort of weight around. My ego kept telling me I could make linear gains. I was also benching 210, cable rowing 180 military pressing 135 and deadlifting 225. I feel like I should go on a bulk. To avoid muscle wasting. I’ve always heard that your bench correlates with your body weight so if you weigh more you bench more. I don’t want to get sloppy. I will try close grip benching though because close carries over to my normal. I know it’s going to be annoying cutting my weights in half, but I get to fall in love with the process and maybe I will throw in cardio as well. I’m planning on getting a altitude mask because every time I do cardio I breathe like I’m a heavy-set person. There’s always room to improve. I’m going to be the best version of myself. Also I’m going to switch waited pull-ups in in place of rows. They just look so boss.

So my squat, in the strength standards app that I use, after I did 335, listed my squat as exceptional. All of my lifts except for my deadlifts are at proficient and exceptional. Should I just go on a bulk?
I meant to post this the other day but I’ve been slacking. I ended my bench by doing 200 pounds for three reps without a spotter. And I think I T Bar Rowed 160 for my last set. I ended my squats on 290. And at my height of five six I think, I’m not sure I can add that much more weight to my workouts but I’m aiming for a 50-pound increase on my bench and squat, and a 3 plate deadlift. The gyms are going to be packed because of resolutioners. If I can Inspire someone to actually not give up on their resolution I really won’t mind that the gym will be extra crowded for a month. Consistency works for everybody. Getting stronger all the time. And I get to get a pre workout in a week. I haven’t had one for a month. Lifts are going to be cake. If your New Year’s resolution is to get into the gym it’s not where you start it’s where you end up. Keep moving forward.
