Never skip leg days

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I made 95 for a heavy single, but as soon as I switched out the smaller plates for bigger, I kept missing it. For some reason, benching two 25 lb plates feels harder than having two 10s and a 5 on each side. Or maybe I just got camera shy, and only missed the weights because I was trying to film them. But I managed to capture 85 lbs for a double (that I did for maybe 4 sets in total) before deciding to spend my energy doing deadlifts instead. I haven't really benched much in a while, but I wanted to see where I was currently at strength wise. I will probably start training the bench press more frequently again. by @thinkystrong

It's not when I bench 100 lbs or deadlift 225 that I feel strong. Or even when I jerk my body weight. It's the way I can casually, after a 4 hour workout, with a sprained finger, throw a 35 lb sand filled ball with such power that even the firm rubber texture goes 'splat'. That's when I feel strong. by @thinkystrong

You think it's ready?

Also, someone remind me the next time I buy wine to make sure I only buy wine that ages well, since I never get around to actually drinking them. Pro-tip, always store them on their side, in a cool dark place. 55 degrees is perfect, and if you have a shitty fridge on hand and a thermometer to monitor fluctuations, you basically have a wine fridge. You're welcome. by @thinkystrong

I never thought the day would come where my clean and jerk technique would be better than my snatch technique. As frustrated as I am with my shitty snatches, it's nice that all the focus I've put on my clean and jerk is starting to pay off. Perhaps I may need to look into getting some one on one coaching again 😅

Physically, I was beat, and mentally, I was fighting for my life. But I was determined to hit a PR of some kind today, and I believe this is the best overhead squat set I've done since getting back into training. Not too bad. Tomorrow will be better. #olympicweightlifting by @thinkystrong

This was a pretty storm in the middle of nowhere that no one cared about, but later went on to become tornado warned. I believed in it from the very beginning. by @thinkystrong

Some slow-mo hang snatches and a slow-mo jerk. Hopefully, by this time next year, I'll be much better 😅 by @thinkystrong

Got pictures of a crooked rain bomb and mammatus clouds. Cool to me, but lame to most people. 👌 by @thinkystrong
