ramnares - That's the finest compliment/motivation I've received so far! Thanks a lot bud.
Peterlumberjack - Yeah, I think I really tried to start gaining weight back around August, so it'll be about that time this year when I quit. Maybe a little earlier, like July. By then I'll be 200, which is obviously quite a bit when you're 5'5". By the way, I was looking at your log and you're looking fantastic. +1 for the beard, haha.

Time to reset the press! I knew it was coming. I feel like I suck so bad at it. Also, my left arm was acting up again on the last set of pullups, so I felt pretty weak by then. Not a bad workout.

Creeping up on the current squat PR of 260. I don't think I'll have a problem breaking it. I worked on my bench form, and got the 180 without too much trouble. And finally, I remembered to add weight to the chins. Very happy with this workout, especially since my arm didn't hurt.

I achieved my first weight lifting goal! Finally worked up to deadlifting 300 x 5. I know it wasn't too ambitious of a goal, but I'm still thrilled about it. It would have been 305, but I only have 300lbs of weight. Time to upgrade. Now I just gotta get my squat 300+...

Finally back to squat PRs. I think I've been going down too slow on squats and wasting energy. I sped up my descent, and it seems to make them a little easier coming back up. As for bench, I'm quite happy I got 185. The last rep of the last set was really slow though. Fantastic workout. Oh, and my camera isn't working, so I can't post pics. I'll get a hold of one soon because I think I've made some visible progress since my last photo update.

Oh yeah I'm definitely making sure there's no "bounce". I think by speeding up my descent, I'm now going down at an average speed. I was just going too slow I think. But, thanks for the advice and kind words.

Everything felt great except for the fact that I was being rushed for the second half of my workout. So because of that, my chins suffered from not being able to rest between sets.
