Week 5 Friday’s workout
Barbell back squat set 4: 315x5, set 5: 355 x4, set 6: 260x8
Bench press set 4: 230x5, set 5: 260x3, set 6: 190x8
barbell bent over row: set 4: 185x5, set 5:200x3, set 6: 155x10
assistance work: some barbell curls, tricep extensions, and incline dumbbell press.
today I had done a couple extra reps on my certain things as seen above just simply because I could, I felt like a beast and strong as heck today. I did take a 50 mg vyvance because I didn’t get a lot of sleep lastnight and needed that extra boost, also have been on the loading phase of creatine and today was last day for that so I’m sure that has helped in the strength department too. I felt very strong today and hit all of my reps smoothly.

What makes you say I look 40 lol ��

Wasn't trying to bust your balls. That’s just what I think when I see your picture without seeing your face.

Probably because of the aforementioned reasons.

Week 6 workout 2 Wendsday
deadlift set 4: 360x5
Set 4 overhead press: 175x5
set 3 and 4 squat: 265x5
assistance work: seated calf raises, pull ups 3x10, upright rows, and sit ups.
on the overhead press it’s heavy so I do what could be considered “cheating” by bouncing/using whole body to get weight up instead of standing completely still, otherwise I would not be able to lift that heavy of weight. I feel I would increase weight a lot less slowly if I did not do this bounce and I would most definitely have to decrease weight, is it better to stand completely still and lower the weight lifted and just use upper body to lift weight or continue using my whole body and that “bounce” to get the weight up? Input from experienced lifters would be apprecciated, when I watch powerlifters clean and press they do the same jump/bounce to get the weight up over there heads.

I think a little "English" is fine as long as it's not ridiculous.

Lets just call is “Austrian” instead of “English”
