415KG (915LBS) @160

This felt relatively easy, so I sent 450+ and got 1005 after this, but it was ugly, very ugly.

505 Zercher @158

Despite how easy this rep felt, I failed 585 right after this midway up, so it’s going to be a bit before I reach my goal of 4X BW as well on this lift, but I’ll get back to the 600’s eventually.

967LB High Block Pull @159BW

Wanted to go for 500KG but I was taking too many plates.

627@158

Ugly but got it up. Best conventional is still 705 at a tick under 170BW. Working my way back up after stopping training.

Quick 505 Zercher

I failed 605 right after this but was super close and would’ve matched my all-time PR.

Very Ugly 627@158 + 677 Attempt

Goal is 5X bodyweight conventional but just hoping to get back to 4.5 at the moment.

Feels Like I’m Going Crazy, there’s Zero Chance This Is Just Photoshop, right?

This has been a bit difficult for me to understand, and I’ve gotten a lot of personal comments personally saying “it’s just a bad photoshop” but I’m having an extremely difficult time believing this and I’m a HUGE fan of hers which is why this is tough for me.

Spine text is messed up, the spine doesn’t seem to sit right behind/on top of the CD, the X’s and mini buttons are not consistent. The iPod earbuds are different, and the shadow’s on the cables don’t make sense, and others.

She’s been EXTREMELY vocal against AI…

Don’t Stop Posting (Even With the Issues)

SoundCloud’s issues have been pretty badly lately, but don’t ever stop posting on this platform, you never know what may happen.

Recently woke up to a text from a buddy saying my song came up next on his SC station after The Weeknd and Kehlani, went to SC and saw a pretty significant rise in my activity.

Had a cool jump from 3-21 followers, and a bunch of my songs were getting hundreds of plays with a few now ticking over 2K (I usually was VERY lucky to get more than 30-40 plays on a song at all before Artist Pro and still wouldn’t get much past the initial boost, if any at all).

Audience has shifted entirely from the Middle East over to the US (with quite a few big repeat listeners, which makes me really happy). May not seem like a lot, but going from getting maybe 4-5 plays per day to now about 150-200 with a decent handful of daily huge repeat listeners that actually like your music is astronomical for someone with almost no base.
