Got sick mid October and when I came back to the gym, the 10% deload was still too much, so I went all the way back down to 100kg and now I’m here. I remember being really scared of 117.5 kg (as you can see on the graph), this feels crazy.

      I would be shocked if the story started with more than 2 plates on the bar. I conjecture that he didn’t really need/bother to track progress (in that app) beforehand. Clearly he’s in some methodical, structured schedule and felt a desire to monitor it with precision. If you dedicate yourself like our comrade has you can go to the moon.

      Noooo, I started working out again maybe 6 months ago and you can see in my post history when I hit 100kg squat maybe 5 months ago. I’ve worked out in the past, but never this heavy.

      I do 3x5 on all major lifts, last set is amrap (I could not do more than 5 at 130, so I’ll probably fail 132.5 when I attempt)
