Do i > you in chinups?
What are you thinking regarding 5/3/1? Solid bench today; i like how you dropped weight and added reps- seems like it's coming along nicely.

not really, you do close neutral chins and underhand chins, the two easiest kind, I do overhand wider grip which is harder and use about the grip I use for bench (which i have made wider since my last video). You weigh 165 and I weigh 205 lol. But yeah I dont know if I could do a set of 4 with 20lbs of extra weight like you unless I cheated or unless I had this strength and weighed 165 lol. I think I could hit double figures with close neutral chins. Also I probably do my chins differant to yours, I get a slight swing and power up to the bar then lower down slowly like 2 second negatives or so. The slow negatives make a big differance IMO.Do i > you in chinups?
Yeah Im loving the 8 reps for bench, and unlike squats I can just bang out the reps, with squats Iv over estimated the weight and have to rest between reps for a few breaths. Bench I just banged out reps 1-6 then took a couple breaths and stabilised then bang out the last two.

I don't get any swing up and i do pretty slow negatives. Also, if you're going to compare our lifts and not include that you weigh 45 lbs more than i do, you can't do it for chinups as well babe

I don't know: in the one hand jdid is winning chinups for sheer numbers competition and for weight added. EM is winning probably for overall weight.
Jdid : 2
EM: 1
1. Next time Ill do some close neutral chins and see how many reps I can manage. I could attach weight but because Im in kg the nearest I can get is 22lbs...
2. 500 raw in my lifetime. 264x5 before Im 16 would be cool but hard...
oh yeah about the chins when I weighed 185ish I could bust out 11 wide grip chins no swinging.

Yup. Baby steps. There's this old Indian phrase: it took many drops of water to build the ocean.
my lower back has gotten worse, getting some sharp shooting pains in there. I dont know if its just tense and tight from the DOMS or if Iv injured it, either way not gonna risk it and not gonna workout tonight. Im gonna be so pissed if this turns out to be another back injury
Im going crazy here taking all this time off from the gym 
my lower back is feeling a little better today been on a big long bike ride for most of the day with a friend today, was out for about 4 hours. Bike riding actually seems to be quite thereputic for it and its been feeling fine this evening. Not sure whether to risk squatting tomorrow, or to wait till monday, maybe Ill do my military on sunday then squat monday, then deadlift wednesday...
