Well, put 5 kg on EVERYTHING.

Squats: back to 30, feels much better than day1.
Overhead press: 25, looked funny with those tiny 2.5kg plates.
Deadlift: 45kg, added 5kg to the original 40, but I need to get up to 60kg ASAP (the bar is too low for a proper grip with 10kg plates)

All in all, good workout, had time for 15minute SHIIT (shit high-intensity interval training), since the machine went from 4 to 5.5kmh. Put it up to 10 manually.

Also:

Me: let's have a nice run
Heart: Fuck dat, 197BPM!

@m4iler don't rush that deadlift keep that form clean. You could use blocks or plates to raise it slightly to help with grip.

Keep it up!

@gray Don't worry, I'm supporting the bar with plates under the 10kg ones, so it's high enough for the time being.

Every other workout I do deadlifts, every round of deadlifts I add 5kg. So far, it seems easy, so I focus on form. Afraid I may be bending too much in the down position, sticking my ass out, but I don't feel any discomfort during or after.

Might pay for an hour of a trainer's time to learn that shit properly.

@m4iler take a look at AthleanX videos if you don't already. Fantastic explanation and demonstration behind everything: youtu.be/hCDzSR6bW10

Gabriel Sey on YouTube is also damn good (can get a bit waffly though): youtube.com/user/FearlessAcade

His teach me Tuesdays and how to's are effective.
