My squats passed 112.5 kg (250 lbs) on my last workout, hitting 3x5 was hard and I'm a little scared of going for 115 kg next time. Still managed 7 reps on the last set though and I was fucking sweating for it lmao. This is also the only major movement I haven't had to deload yet.

Making progress on OHP is ridiculous - someone here said they've hit 230 lbs on that and I have no idea how, you must be a monster. Like the last time I worked out, I'm hitting a wall around 50 kg (111lbs and also 3x5) - I failed the last attempt at that weight and I've reached that point again, which I'll be attempting later today. I will say that learning you have to activate your core during the lift helped a lot, but that advice kind of goes for all major lifts.

And finally, I can do a full 3 sets of pull-ups unassisted now, albeit with great effort. Overall feeling good about it and I can see my body getting kinda beefy now, but that's also because I've been eating so much food now.
