After seeing the chiro feeling better so did some squats up to 225lb. Weak compared to where I was but a start. Also did some weighted stuff: 25kg/55lb pull-ups x3, chin-ups x2, dips 3x5. woot.
It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.

@Froadac, you'll be recovered and back in the gym in no time. Good luck with your rehabilitation and all.
Anyway, May 12th I was 90kg. June 12th I was 93kg. A bit too rapid on the weight gain front? Should I lower my calories a bit?
I would lower calories a bit. Between 1-2kg would be my prefered pace, especially since I assume you don't want to gain a lot of weight, but only a few kg.

hapenned when I changed my routine and added again OHP. Was really nice to hit that 75kg OHP at 73kgBW
You are definitely a complete outlier in regards to your OHP. You sure you calculate right/ doing foll ROM . But really, this is just impressive.

I blame the fact that I've been working a lot on my Jerk technique, that my shoulders have gotten a shitload stronger thus, doing this. .
People do look frighten when they see a 1.7m guy lifting 75kg above his head. Let alone when I'm C&J'ing and doing 90kg. And yes, I'm calculating right. 1-20kg Plate, 1-5kg plate, 1-2.5kg plate + plus 20kg bar.

Right now I have an upper body/lower body/cardio three day plan set up and during my upper body day I include a section where I do five sets of pushups. However, at work lately I've been finding myself with bits of free time and I usually drop to the floor and do about 30 pushups. At random intervals during the day, will this make any difference? Will it work the corresponding muscles accordingly? Will it improve my ability to do pushups?
Easy doesnt fit into grownup life.

Assuming you don't injure yourself, you'll get more used to doing large amounts of pushups at random intervals. It's ok for endurance, but it will generally NOT make you bigger, and it might hurt lifting recovery.

Went in the gym today ready to PR my squat at 1x3 157.5kg. I've been eating maintenance this week, as I've been cutting for the past 5-6 months, so I figured it should be relatively easy. I ended up getting 1 rep in, which is still a PR, but I'm still slightly disappointed with it. Gonna try again for a triple on Sunday and hopefully it'll go well enough that I'll try for 160kg next Thursday (Which would be really cool, since that was my original long term goal for this year).

That's awesome dude, pressing over my bw has been one of my bigger goals since I've started training. Good job!

Personally aiming to do a pound a week, which makes 1.5-2kg a month. It seems to be a good rate for me to not pack. on much fat so long as i keep lifting. I would cut maybe 200 or 250 cals/day from what youve been doing, and that should just about balance it out
"Limitations are for people that have them and excuses are for people that need them"
Anyhow i am still going but just cba to visit forums. Stay strong! -e- and i still suck at taking pictures of myself
Don't worry, there is no fat anymore.

If you manage to improve your press by 33% in 4 weeks, I'm going to fly to Chile and get lessons from you personally. I'm overjoyed if I can improve my press by 5kg per month at the moment, and my 1RM is maybe 7.5kg above my 5RM. That said, your press is waaay below your other lifts, so perhaps it's possible for you. I'm pressing roughly the same as you (60kg 1x5) but my other lifts are each like 30% below yours.

Good luck Froadac! Hopefully you can join us in TLHF again after your op.
Well ya my BP is huge and I'm bulking 0.5-0.7 kg/week. I have never maxed on my OHP yet so I really don't know my max, I'm just starting slow cause I need to get the groove, but my overall goal is to develop some balance and build some shoulder/triceps to have the foundation for my next round benches (my chest is huge and overly developed, it handle a lot more than I can BP). Its not a 33% increase though, I want to go from 60kg2x5 to 80kgx1. I'm doing some sick volume so I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
Its great to bulk again aswell, at 75kg I feel like a scrawny girl -_-

1.71cm. Powerlifting really skewed my perception . For next year I want to look like a bigger version of this guy, as I assume he has the sickest build for a small powerlifter ever (given he is 1.64 at 74kg weight in, I'll prolly need to be like 85kg lol)

Pre-training snack: an apple and sunflower seeds or almonds.
Post-training meal: 250ml greek yogourt, 2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup frozen raspberry, 1 cup frozen blueberries
Meal 4: shrimp, pork or red meat and rice or quinoa or something like that.
Meal 5; salmon, 1/2 head brocoli, 1/2 head cauliflower, plenty of Kale.
I also drink around 3 double esspresso per day (I'm in love with my italian machine) and obviously get some pre-training.
It looks like this 90% of the time. I go to the restaurant or eat pastas sometimes but that's pretty much it for cheat meals. I rarely drink. If I do it is to be wasted but it happens 3-4x per year, so...
I don't eat for size or to cut. I just try to fuel my body with good things but I don't over think what I do. I see myself as some kind of athlete, but not necessarily as a strength athlete.
