I think MULE is trying to kill me...

Keep up the good work, Project.

I have a problem doing rack lockouts at the end of a workout. I did them first thing today and got 365 which was a huge PR for me. I've never done more than 315 before.

Went on to lockouts, did 5 at 225 which was easy, then jumped to 315 intending to do 10, and had a hell of a time moving the bar. Got two at that weight, two at 275, then dropped down and did about 8 more at 225.

I assume your doing singles for lock outs, next time take smaller jumps if your dropping the weight down after failure . when you choked 315, you should drop the bar weight to something around 305, or rest a little longer and try it again, remember to do a good set up every time. If you aren't feeling frisky take a more moderate weight and do triples.

Whitey or Mule-->

I hate to butt in on Projects thread with this, but out of curiosity why do you do singles on rack lockouts, when you do triples on everything else.

Not trying to get to technical with this, just wondering what the reasoning might be.

Thanks

i just read somewhere else that they work up to doubles/singles often on boards, though i've been doing triples for a while

when i first started MM type training, i did max singles on boards. thats when i experienced the most gains. of course there's the whole newbie thing but maybe not

we do both

Did my normal progression, then my 5 sets of 3 at 210. This is my third week at that weight, and it felt really solid. I think after my meet on the 15th (full or bench only, haven't decided yet) I will up the weight again.

Did lockouts next at pin 9, a few singles at 275, then jumped to 309, did about 5 more, then decided to work up. I did two more at 331, then one at 353, two at 375, then managed one more at 397. Was pretty pleased with that...the entire workout felt really solid.
