Me? Local new gym in Ticonderoga, cheap and 24 hours. All old school equipment. I do MANY more exercises than the ones that I reported, but the shoulder press and bench was dumbells, and the cable row was a cable row machine. I know the 52.5 looks odd for dumbells, but we were getting as far as we could tonight and taping 2.5’s on to go up 2.5 on dumbells, lol.

Yep!

And I know I’m weak too. Before this winter, I was on a recomp/slight cut, and lost some strength. I also took two weeks off of training at the end of November for personal reasons. In the past, I’ve gone has high as 95’s on flat press, 300x6 on squats, forgot what else, ha

Occasionaly drinking (1-2x a month) is totally fine. Proper diet+occasional drinking is WAYYYYY AHEAD of a shitty diet and no/occasional drinking.

Short term goal for me is to get up the 100’s on flat DB press. Just sucks getting them into position when shooting for a lower rep range.

I wanna throw deadlifts in, just not sure where to add them. As much as my chest sucks, I’m sure my squat/dead/bench total would be fairly decent, which is the true measure of strength.
