Great job on the meal prep. Sounds delicious. Sometimes it gets boring eating the same things so making great meals like that is key. Really helps with consistency.

This is by far my best work this year with chest. I was so worried and cautious for so many years with my shoulder, once I discovered decline benching that all changed for me.
I hope all of you will be as fired up about this as I am sharing it with all of you, it too my untill 36 years or age, I finally did it! I joined the 315lb bench club I hit it for a single today, I couldn't believe it when it happened.
I did this the smart way and worked my way into 315lbs, I had experienced spotters for all of my heavier sets today on decline so I can ensure I was safe as possible.
Also the heavy chains I utilize for dips I found out are 25lbs each chain, so tracking that and adding my bodyweight plus the chain weight my max dips right now are 300lbs for 5 reps.
I had no idea I was doing dips at 250lbs, 275lbs and 300lbs, it all makes sense how that movement transfered into my decline bench and why I was able to hit it.
The powerlift guys spotting me gave me excellent tips and techniques before all my heavy sets and corrected my bad ones and it all worked beautifully, originally the plan was 1 rep at 250lbs, then I said no 25Ilbs I can hit this, that turned into 5 reps, 275lbs turned into 5 reps and that turned into 315lbs for a single.
Having those powerlifter guys in my ear telling me you got this you are going to do it, your strong we believe in you, man that fired me up so much I did way more than I intended on doing, this gym community has made shuch a difference for me and my strength with what I have available.

I finally attempted belt squats and they are absolutely brutal, i dropped down onto one knee after my sets and just looked up at the gym ceiling contemplating my decision
The feeling and movement is completely different than a tradional high bar squat, i actually prefer belt squats over squatting in the rack, belt is much harder and takes way more out of me. The majority of the tension is on the hips.
I utilize a strap and hold onto it and lean as far back as possible and utlixe a wider stance when i belt squat, the activation from belt squat is fantastic, i go down slow, pause and hold, then explode up through the movement.
I kept it simple this leg routine, i decided i needed more hamstring work, so i am adding in RDL movements, went lite so i can work on getting the movement down properly first.
I tried the wheel roller for the first time and did full extension of my body full strexh pause squeeeze and hold, these also are brutal but i enjoyed them alot, hard as hell though.

I saw my buddy at the gym today who is a competitor in bodybuilding, we got to talking about prep and upcoming shows, i told him i was 221 lbs currently, He gave me the biggest grin, and said brother this is how you look at 221 lbs, if you come in at 185-195lbs in men's physique you are going to destroy everyone and own the competition, made me very thankful my hard work is paying off and others are taking notice and think i have what it takes to win one day, as offen times dont see it or view myself in a positive light like he did.
I made some excellent strides and improvements on belt squat this week comparing last weeks training with what i did today.
Last week i hit 180lbs for 10 which was difficult, today i started with 180lbs for 15 reps, hit 190lbs for 12 reps and 195lbs for 10 reps, my belt squat and lower body strength has improved a fair amount, up a total of 15lbs on weight moved.
