I got in three heavy lifting sessions this week at the gym. I'm continuing to see improvement on my squats and on my deadlifts and am coming close to maxing out the weight stack on the seated row.

Pushups continue to be a challenge. I have a much easier time building strength on pulling motions than pushing motions, so while I can pull in excess of 150 pounds for 12 reps, doing a full on the floor pushup is beyond me. Thank heavens for the Smith machine. The bar makes a great adjustable prop for angled pushups.
