Stronglifts 5×5: 250 lb squats

I hit another weightlifting milestone today: I squatted 250 lbs. Here’s the video:

I did this set 5 times.

That was the only good thing about today’s workout. I failed on both my 120 lb overhead press and the 270 lb deadlift. I managed to do only 3 reps of the overhead, and I couldn’t even budge the deadlift weight.

We’ll see what next Wednesday holds.

I recently finished writing a book debunking several capitalism myths. My newest book writing project is on the labour history of Lethbridge.

I’m also dichotomally Mormon. And I’m a functional vegetarian: I have a blog post about that somewhere around here. My pronouns are he/him.
