BeansNBroccoli Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Here's the first set of my deadlifts from yesterday (16March2015). I hit all four sets at 5x196lbs easily. Weights felt like they were just flyin up after taking the weekend off. Form is feeling really good in general. Strange to think that a couple years ago I thought I basically had form down, and I'm still tweaking it hard two years later. Powerlifting is a strange and wonderful sport - I always feel like there's room for so much growth while still feeling like I'm kicking ass. Also, here are my squat warm ups from yesterday (4x5x176lbs). Everything feels like it's coming together. I never thought my squat would be on track to catch up to my deadlift. Clearly the extra work I've been putting into squats has been paying off, but I'm hoping that putting in similar effort to the deadlift will help keep my deadlift strong and get stronger as well. Also this is what I look like these days when I like to pretend for a few minutes that I'm aesthetic lol lol lol~12March2015, I think about 145lbs BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esqinchi Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I must have been tired/hangry when I read that article, because I took another look and it's pretty simple. I think the website could use some work though, spatially speaking. Anyhow, glad you are enjoying the training. I have been working under German Body Composition training lately, which seems to be producing good results. Haven't really been tracking my lifts all that closely though. I really should work on that. What I have noticed is that things that were once difficult, I am able to get through with ease. So that tells me there's been progress, and maybe that's good enough for me at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely able to convince myself that I've made no progress if I've got no paper trail and no videos to reflect on, so being able to look back and see that, for instance, 5x85lbs was tough for me on bench not all that long ago, keeps me pushin. This week is the long heavy week for phase 1 of Indigo, so I'm going to be dragging myself from the gym to the couch most nights this week. Oh well, I'm going to let myself eat all of the things to make up for it 23MARCH2015 Squat3x30.8kg3x40kg3x56kg3x66.8kg5x4x76.8kg Bench Press3x22.8kg3x32.8kg4x4x42kg7x42kg Deadlift3x62.8kg3x72.8.8kg5x4x84.8kg Floor Close Grip Bench Press3x5x26.8kg3 x Cluster of 5 "singles" x 30.8kg Incline DB Press5x5x34.8lbs Floor Nosebreakers (w/EZ curl bar)5x5x22.8kg DB Power Flies5x5x34.8lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeansNBroccoli Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've been on this program for three whole weeks now and I only just got through the squat session all the way through for the first time this week. Tuesdays are really tough for me, scheduling-wise, and I usually end up home ~2hrs later than other days. I got through the first half, had to take a quick break to go pick my partner up from work, then got through the second half as best as I could after I had already cooled down and started to get a little sore. It wasn't the prettiest, but I got it done.
