WOO!!
Made a new record on my deadlifts! Also good news, this makes like the 7th or 8th consecutive time I increased the weight each time I went without having to stall or deload. Right now I'm at 185 lbs. Yes, I know that's probably chump change compared to most of you guys, but I had to restart and practice my form multiple times so my progress was kind of stinted.
In any case, we're all gonna make it, guys!

Ok, now I am able to concentrade on your post as well and not just drool shirtless MTP.
I think you might actually stress this whole working out and eating correctly a bit too much to be honest. I understand that you have a schedule, but try to see things outside of it. I also think you have looked really good, especially in your recent pics. My advice would be that relax, get better and also get those stress levels lower.
Also what comes to that dream of yours to lose 30 more pounds - it will remain a dream if you think of it in that way. If you see it as a possible goal, you will reach it.
Today I did seated yoga poses a bit, though. Tomorrow, strength yoga, then back to normal. My foot felt a bit better today already. Yes the most disturbing fact was certainly the presentation. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, if someone shows up looking out of place and starts doing nonsensical things it always draws my attention. I legitimately make a point to not ever stare at women or make them feel uncomfortable in any way, as I understand the perception of vulnerability has a lot of mental cues and inputs and I don't want to be lumped into those kinds of feelings for getting caught taking a sideways glance, etc.
It gets the juices flowing!
Looks really good to me, your back stays in basically the same position from the hips up the whole time and the bar moves in a vertical travel path with little deviation. I hope they feel as good as they look, keep it up! I squat the same way so I am biased, low bar and just past parallel. The only thing I do differently is keep my upper cervical a little more neutral through the lift by staring down, not really between my feet more so just where the wall and the floor meet a few feet in front of me. But if you feel no discomfort as you are doing them I see no reason to change.
Count me in on this goddamn club
Recently had a break up. It was mutual but sometimes I feel lonely as fuck in my apartment
Matugi, Sphinx and I will spearhead the "Lonely Lifting Club" where the only thing harder than iron are our hearts.
Or so we wish.
Do you even lift X-Wings with your mind, bro?
Thank you for the correction. I think as long as your torso stays in the same position it doesn't really "matter" as long as the entire range of motion feels good and works the intended muscle groups. From what I understand high bar is supposed to be a little more quad intensive due to the more upright nature of your torso and the deeper hole position. Maybe if you're feeling froggy one day try changing the bar position to see if it is more comfortable in a low bar position, as the rest of your movement seems to be more in line with that setup. But as they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
DO IT! My squat has always been my holy grail lift that doesn't make me feel like an enormous marshmallow. Now that I am approaching heavier weights on bench than I was a year ago, I feel a lot less proud about squatting 250 for reps. DL getting up there too, finally. Going to film that tonight hopefully.
lol a friend of mine posted a similar "end of relationship" macro to my FB page after I had really flipped the switch on my training. I thought it was unfair but still pretty damn hilarious. Have not kept up with my ex so I cannot confirm/deny her transition to bovine status and I do not care to suspect one way or another. Deep down inside, I hope she is a better and happier version of herself, just like I am now.
). Also this site starts with a bunch of unproven BS and I don't like the general site, but I do like the guide to Planches and Front Levers.
