It's not until June 26th

Im going to that raw bench contest that every one got in an uproar about (gene rychlak invite that was sponsored by ed coan). Im going to show up early and size up the competition in the 181's and maybe ill take a shot at it. It's $50 to enter but the prize for winning your class is like $300 or something. It's in Worcester, MA at the Palladium, you should go.

i wouldnt do lockouts with more than a 4" ROM
your shirt will give you momentum

no, my partner set it up and he doesnt really know what he's doing. and i didnt feel like changing it lol. i agree with you 100%, he's complained that it doesnt feel like its doing anything when i set it up, says the stroke is to short. told him thats the way its supposed to be but he's pretty thick headed

on my way to cns recovery baby, feel great today after going light/low volume last night.
 
that looks good to me. I must be a wuss, but your old workouts would have drained me of grow juice.

I think longevity is a very good thing . . .

APA Connecticut Open BP/Deadlift Meet!!!

Finally got here and i did pretty awesome. It was a great meet and i had a blast!

weighed in at a dehydrated and starved 175. The scale was definatly light. i was 180 at my house and my scale is damn accurate. im not complaining though.

i entered Junior 181's @ 175 and here's how it went for me

had some problems with the benchpress, my first meet and i wasnt concentrating like i should have. i opened with 410, smoked it but my ass came up (so the judge says). 2nd attempt was 420, smoked it but again it came up. 3rd attempt i went 420 again and got three whites, really good setup and kept my ass down. went for a fourth for the record (420 is a record also) at 435 but couldnt lock it out. I was spent and it was about 110 in the gymnasium the meet was in, I think i definatly would have gotten it if it was better conditions. I now am the CT State record holder for Junior 181's, sweet.

Deadlifting is my thing and i nailed all 4 attempts. here's how i did

1st---500 ha...joke
2nd---530 smoked it
3rd---555 thought this was it (junior 181 CT record)
4th---570 barely, but i nailed it. (the NEW junior 181 CT record)

fuckin beat the CT BP record by 45lbs. and the deadlift record by 20lbs. i had an awesome day! would have like to get 435 but oh well.
 
thanks bro, i havent updated my workout log in a while, i had some pretty nasty workouts recently that i should have posted but ive been real busy. thanks again
 
Back at it again after a few months off after the last PL meet. Figured i should start posting my workouts again. Ive been back at it for 3 weeks now, and it feels great, but it sucks that i took all that time off. Feel like im starting over. Intensity and load is still low because im easing into it. bodyweight is fluctuating between 180-185.

Got the metal suit in and tried it out. Wow this thing is small, it took two guys and suit slippers to get me into it. i did some high box squats with the straps down to break it in. The suit works great with them down, but the straps are wayyyyy to short for me, i have a long torso and i guess i cant use off the shelf suits, i went throught the same thing with my z suit.

i had someone yank the straps onto my shoulders, and i could barely breath. we loaded 495 up and i went to get under the bar....omg i couldnt even bend enough to get under the bar!! i tried again and got under, the weight felt like 225 because i was so stable and tight. i knew this wasnt going to happen, but i tried to descend. I got down about an inch and a half, and that was it! this viking material does not give at ALL! im sending it out tomorrow to get it tailored.

did some box squats after i took the suit off, not much of a workout cause i was so dead from just getting in the damn thing. i cant wait till i can use it and it fits cause im going to set some serious pr's in it.

315x4
405x2
took about 15 minutes here to get the suit on, omg this thing is so painful on the thighs. Set up a high box and worked on getting down
15"box straps down 405x3
straps up 500x2 wow sooooo easy

got a little too bold here and went 570, no box,full gear and didnt get it. The weight wasnt too heavy, it should have flown up, too many factors fucking with my head at the time. no squat bar, so it was bouncing like a mother on my back, no power rack, and just a hard time walking out with it. Getting in the suit again thursday and see what i can do.

-put suit on
495x1/2 really hard to get down if your not in perfect form in this suit
495x1 sat back well and really exploded up, got to around 1" above parallel
525x1 same thing, but added a light wrap
550x1 perfect squat, got down below and locked it out without too much trouble, light wrap

i definatly think i have a 580 in me, use my new wraps and put them on tight, with a weeks rest i should get it.

Deadlifts

135x5
245x3
335x3
515x1 pretty easy compared to a couple weeks ago when i tried 517, i think ill be able to squeeze out 550

im done now until the meet, ill post up my results on Monday the 12th. Wish me luck!
