10/28 - ME Upper body..... let the pr's roll

[Exodus]

good day........ have some good prospects for a job..... so that make me happy. didnt eat the best, but ate decent. good nights sleep though.

Overhead Push Jerk - 275 x 1!!! 30lb PR!!! not only was it a 30 lb pr.... but when i did 245 it was with elbow pads, knee pads, back brace, belt, and wrist wraps. today was with no equipment at all !!!

DB Floor Press - 120's x 4. was aiming for 5...oh well.

Rack lockouts - 315 x 6 x 12.

Assisted Pullups - 20lbs less for 3 x 12.

Chest supported rows - 90 x 2 x 10/12.

side db raises - 15's x 10/8/10

elbow out ext - 40's x 1 x 12.

face pulls - 75 x 1 x 12.

felt great, felt strong........ im debating putting my equipment on next week and going for a 1 rep max on the ohp....one of my goals is to get 300 by years end.

very nice man

what do you feel has helped your jerk go up so much recently?

better technique.......... i.e. more explosion. and using a lot of weight for my rack lockouts and for my ohp rack lockouts. about 6 weeks ago i did a 3 rep max with seated ohp 3inch R.O.M. lockouts with 345 and held the last rep for 10 seconds.

on all lockouts and ohp lockouts i hold the last rep for 10 seconds...... this i belive is probably the greatest contributer.

why..... my shoulder joint wasnt stable to hold the weight i can press, by holding end weights for 10 seconds.... my shoulder joint feels as solid as a rock.

That's all good Exodus, but let me get this straight:

You're weighing around 280, and your assisted chins are only affording you about 20 lbs. relief? So, you did 3x12 with ~260?

Fucking-A!!!!!

lol......... GOD i wish that was the case......lol

no im not that good. im using 180lb of weight to help me up with the pull ups........ but last week i was using 200lbs. so 20 lbs less.

i can do chin ups...... and i have bicep tendonitus that hurts to do regular pullups. but im going in a controlled mannor with perfect form on these. so when i get to where i can do regular pull ups my form will be spotless.

personally im not a big fan of gear, at most i use a belt. If i ever competed i would use gear only to level the playing field, but for my own purposes i like to see what my body is capable of.

Personally, I try and do as much of my training raw, and then I plan to use all equipment that is legal at a comp.

If it was me, I wouldn't use anything but the wrist wraps. And that's just because I have small, weak wrists.


Just my thought,
