what the hell why what happened

Its tuesday, and I really feel like going in to deadlift today. I squatted yesterday though so I'll hold off on working out a day early. But man i feel great.

Took in nap in a weird position though, and my lower back is hurting a ton right now.

Super happy that I'm consistently improving now. Really hoping to get through old plateaus which were more or less:

bench 225x5
atg squat 315x5
deadlift 365x5
row 235x5
 
espeically that bench one. that's the one i always get close to and then just get stuck. FOR YEARS.

Ab Wheel Rollouts
7ft x 10
7ft x 8 PR
7ft x 5 PR

PR'in like a mofo.

Note: Hitting a PR in the bench press but then hitting the same reps in the Incline DB right after is still a PR for the Incline DB... it's much harder to incline 55'sx12 after benching 210/3x6 instead of 210/3x5

I rest only 60sec between my last bench set and first incline DB set

Extra grip strength for deadlifts!

From now on I'm doing absolutely zero cheating on lateral raises. This will let me know if I'm actually improving and not just cheating more, or vice versa. Maybe that's why it was stuck for a while.

Also, recent pic. No gym pump here. This was at work:

I dont get it. Bench, squat, dead, rows, all increasing.
Shoulders and pull ups have stalled or decreased.

I look pretty damn good though. Friends have said they noticed a difference out of nowhere. I do to. It must be the creatine. That must also be why my main lifts aren't stalling anymore
