You are absolutely killing it with good hard work! Respect my brother

thanks man, to be honest, staying 100 with this log kinda feels like a hit to my ego, more so because i am still getting back to where my strength was, also because i sit back and think, most you guy probably thought my huge ass was way stronger, but then again i can't remember once ever bragging about numbers.
Things are coming along good, this is such a different style of training but i am enjoying it a lot.
Thanks to everyone thats following and being supportive!

your strength is just fine and will go up now you have changed to this type of training. Not one person on here started off power lifting already hitting huge numbers they built them up over time. Keep at it big fella it will all come together in time

You have good numbers now but will soon have some bigger numbers to brag about. The switch takes time brother; form is a little different the reps and weight are different. You're also doing something that may not come as easy for you as some genetic PL freak. That alone will put you out of your comfort zone but in that you have my respect.

Absolutely not!!!

Remember, you're TRAINING right now, not testing. Nobody maxes out every workout, nobody is always peaked.

Stick to the programming, enjoy the results later.

thanks dude.
i appreciate you guys always being supportive.
at the end of the day the majority of guys here including myself are way stronger thN the average gym goer, but we dont compare ourselves to them. i look at guys like tiny, metal, jin trump to name a few and i want to get to that level.

just noticed tomorrow will be 1 month, i'll post some pics so you guys can see how shit i look so Jin on his cut can feel better about himself :32 (18):
weight is still right at 266 but i am just fluffy with minimal detail of any kind at this point. (as seen in videos)
i have stuck to my meal plan but i have also indulged in other shit at will but not to any kind of extent. i'm talking snack size bag of chips here and there, box of raisenets whatever. ok ok i have been getting down with some 7 layer bean dip lately idk why but i crave that shit lol.
also i have not done cardio once since starting this. i put the extra sleep/rest over it lately. it does show.
just trying to keep the log real.

Spent some time today cleaning up the gym getting it in better order.
Pretty much done. Have a custom sheet thats gonna go in front of and cover all the storage bullshit, some more 2" plates on the way and need a couple more 1" plates for the adjustable dumbells. Also one more mat to finish covering the whole floor.
Installed the pins on the rack and platform today also, very nice, and Metal us going to kill me with this band work no doubt.
