Last Heavy Squat Night! Pr!

[powerlifterjay]

Well guys things went well for me. I did what Freak19 did last night in regards to squatting all sets straps up. Went like this

bar x 10
135x 10 2 sets
225 x 5 2 sets
315 x 5
405 x 3
405 x 1 suit on with straps up on all sets fropm here on out.
500 x 1
585 x 1 used knee wraps
675 x 1 tightened belt
740 x 1 full gear deep
805 x 1 full gear a scant high. IPA passable!

But i dont care it felt good and light and i was crossing into no mans land! If i could do it over it would have been deeper then any gym lift i have ever done. Why didnt I? Well i figure this i have never went that high and i would rather leave a scant high with a fast up 805 then a deep no go. I basically didnt knwo what too expect. All night i felt slow and achy still. BUt from 740 to 805 i felt pretty good.

If i had balls i would open with 750 then take 800 on a second but 800 will be a 3rd attempt. Question is can i do it without a mirror? Hell yes i can! Jimmie Dean hit an easy 765lber. He is also over 800. I am proud of him and freak both. Our gym is awesome!

Tonight for those keeping track of the blood count i shot blood straight from my cheeks. But didnt wipe till the end i wanted my face covered in blood! Fuckin crazy huh?

Good night!

Good job man!!!!

Do you think that the mental aspect of making a weight is nearly as important as the set itself?

I remember doing squats a few years back in the YMCA. I beat my head against the bar a time or two till blood ran down my face...that was a fun set. Looking in the mirror while doing my set and blood running down my face.

wow thats a lot of weight. great job... what are you shooting for at your contest(all 3 lifts). Congrats on the PR

 

[Screwball]

Holy Shit! You're all a bunch of freakin' mutants. I can't believe how you guys continually push your numbers up from week to week. Strong bunch!

Jay, Jimmie Dean & Freak19 - Do you guys have a pretty good idea of where your attempts are going to be at for all three lifts? What are your individual total goals?

Damn, I've got to move back to Florida and hope that some of that freak-shit rubs off on me. What's up with the blood stuff, Jay? That shit just doesn't sound natural...

 

[powerlifterjay]

Shit what i am capable of and what i will do are different!

I would like to go 804sq 625 bench 573 dead 2002 total.

But i will be happy to just go over elite. I have only a couple full power meets under my belt so i really lack experience when it comes to squatting especially in public, away from a mirror and all that good shit. My last three lift i was hurt and got opers only. Meet before was better at the time for me but went either 4 or 5 out of 9. So if i can go 6 or 7 out of 9 here i can at least go elite at 242.

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

Amazing!!! Good luck at the meet to all of you!!

 

[aka-tapout]

jay is funny in that way
he gets messed up in head if he misses and thinks about it all week so i think he did the right thing by being a little(1 inch)high and getting it than too deep and a miss

good job jay

 

[Imnotdutch]

805 sheesh!!! I'm hurting just thinking about that.

But whats the deal with the blood? I know that sort of weight is probably going to put your blood pressure through the roof (temporarily) but shooting out blood cant be a good sign can it?? I'm just wondering whether its a warning sign and that you should get it checked out is all.

[GRIMMER]

Hell ya , I knew that shit would go up easy.

 

[powerlifterjay]

Thanks bro's. My blood pressure was checked last Thursday at the Hospital. I am borderline, not high though. The blood comes from any blemish or shaving opening. In fact in comes from places i cant see till it comes out. Its is from my blood pressure, plus my suit cuttin off my circulation. Its ok thanks for the concern. I think its pretty cool though!

 

[Deciever]

i think thats cool as hell that blood squirts from your face... maybe if your lucky, it will squirt far enough and blind one of the judges and he'll be forced to give you a white light .

Ah good. You know I'm currently training (and working) at a private school. I get a big audience lifting weights that you prob warm up with. I'd love to see the kids reaction to a 800 squat complete with blood lol.

 

[IrishPower]

When the weight starts climbing over 700, blood starts spurting.

Its perfectly normal... hahahaha

I used to blow blood vessels in both my eyes when i was heavier and squatted heavy. now that was cool!

good job pljay!

keep up the good work and dont burn out for the meet!

/irish

 

[powerlifterjay]

That was my last heavy weight till the meet. 4weeks from now. No burn out here! Now i will try to triple my opener which i think is gonna be 722lbs. At least a double. Then i will feel confident.

The blood is a bonus! I feel its normal too. I mean i strain hard. Its a sign of hard work, and balls to the wall squattin!

 

[powerlifterjay]

Well here it is Sunday ! There is a local deadlifting meet going on at hooters to day. Grimmer is coming to hang with me, Jimmie Dean, Freak wont be there prior engagement. Pro bencher Rick Lawerence called me and said he would come. Will be fun!

Side note: That fuckin 805 squat kicked my ass! MY shoulders and arms are sore as hell. I went to the gun range Saturday and shot my new never before shot gun, which byt the way is fuckin awesome. It is a KImber pro ultra carry .45 cal. I love it! Anyway after popping off a few hundred rounds i had to come home and ice my arms down. So its gonna be interesting to see how my bench day goes tomoroow. Will let ya'll know though. BUt i cant even flex my arms hard at all. To sore to do GPP/AR work!

 

[brianmincher]

Awesome work guys. 700 and 800 plus squats are large!!!

Congrats on that Kimber too. I am a 1911 man myself. I know you like your Glock, and I used to have one too, but after I got my Springfield Armory 1911 National Match, I got rid of the Glock quick.

I look forward to the day when blood shoots out when squatting. I feel pretty manly when I see the little lightning bolts after a big lift right now. Ha ha.

I feel ya on the squats beating up the shoulders. I have cut out squats the last two weeks before this upcoming meet. Will see if it makes any difference. Continually a science fair project.
