Lula winning and Vucic losing is a good day for world politics for once. No let's get rid of the orange in the US and the world can heal again.
1/8 Eight weeks of #StartingStrength:
Squat 65 → 115 kg
Deadlift 60 → 115 kg
Bench 50 → 72.5 kg
Press 35 → 45 kg
All sets of 5. It started with one tip from @masatoalexander. Here's the story and what I learned.
7/8 Outside the gym: my wife says I'm happier.
My mood is better, I sleep better and I'm eating healthier. Before this I'd lost ~25 kg on keto. Now I eat carbs again with a clear conscience. Heavy squats need fuel.
8/8 I'm not chasing a number. A bit more weight each session. Every set logged on Garmin, an AI coach reviewing the data. Stall? Same weight, check technique, repeat until it moves.
Thanks @masatoalexander. One tip, 8 weeks, 50+ kg more on squat and deadlift.
Finally learned how to warm up properly today. Incremental increase of weight while decreasing reps is a good recipe that doesn't leave me fatigued for the proper sets. Have been raw dogging after one "warm up" set of 60x5 until now thinking I'd be too fatigued for my proper sets
Double plates 100kg cracked. 🦾 2.5kg at a time. Progressive overload is something beautiful. Thanks Mr. former Monad for the introduction to starting strenght. 🙏

Funny that gaming PC I bought with a @spacebudznft back in the day is now perfectly fit to mine @MidnightNtwrk 😅
