8/31/2005 Squats

Squats with my z suit.
135x8
225x5
315x5
405x5
495x1 w/ wraps - depth looked ok - what do you think?
605x1 w/ wraps - depth sucked. I had a hard time moving my feet out and had them too narrow.

Next time I'll move the uprights down a little more. Racking that sucked!

Shirted bench 2 board - testing the meeet shirt again and working on my set up.
405x1 no touch
455x1 no touch
505x1 no touch
545x1 no touch
405 w/mini x5 no touch - but I was getting close.

I like this setup and I think I was getting pretty close to touching. I decided not continue because of the extreme pain in my wrists and forearms when I lifted and then racked and let go of the weight.

9/8/2005 shirt day looking for an opener again 800mg motrin 1/2 hr before the gym. Video's included on the metalrage forum.

My plan for this workout was to work up in weight while trying to touch 2boards and work on my new setup. Once I am able to touch the 2boards I was going to get rid of the boards and see if I can get something to touch. My goal was to get 605 to touch. I feel I would have got it. BUT, my wrists almost exploded with the 545 and I thought I might have stress fractured the bones in my arms.

warm up - raw bench press and practice the new setup.

2 boards with my meet shirt
455x3 - no touch
495x2 - getting closer
545x1 - touched the boards :D I couldn't do it last workout. My wrists flet like they were going to explode. After this set I started feeling my forearm and the bones there and it felt like I may have stress fractured them, like shin splints. But I think I would be in a lot of pain now and I'm not.

605x0 - I wanted to see if I can handle this today. I tried to lift it out of the uprights and again the same thing with the wrists.
I know I could have made this touched. I thought about this for a few minutes and said to myself I have 3 training weeks left and I still do not have an opener so I should try but then again I am too close to the the meet to get hurt.

The pressure was all too familiar like when I hurt my shoulder but much more instense. I've been having these wrists issues for the past 2 weeks now. I'll give them a break for a few days. Do some R.I.C.e.

Now the rest of my training is f\/cked. I need a few days or weeks to get my wrists back to normal. I can either stay light and work on form or take the time off. I know if Itake too much time off my lifts will suffer.

What do you suggest?

495x3 no touch- I came pretty close here.
545x1 x no touch <<<<VIDEO - the 2nd rep was fun
585x0 x no touch <<<<VIDEO - I have no idea what happened here. But maybe this happened because I am not tucking my elbows. I put some biopheeze on both wrists, forearms and shoulders while at the gym. Because they were all screaming at me :) I don't think I hurt anything too seriously, time will tell.

Overall a shitty day. I couldn't get the set up right today. My damn elbows were flared. My damn wrists are all f\/cked up. F\/ck it I'll push through it.

I'm not going to use the 52 ragex for the meet. I need more time in it.

I'm going to use my 54 training shirt at the meet and open with 500 and see where to go from there.
 
lol the 2nd attempt was funny but dangerous.

I notice I usually hurt my shoulder when I dont keep the weight properly balanced.

Even slight changes hurt my shoulder. And I dont use the weight your using.

Keep up the good work though. Your numbers keep growing.
 
9/20/2005 - I have two problems 1. I still do not have an opener going into the 2nd ot last bench workout. 2. I'm trying to take it easy on my wrists so they are healtheir on meet day.

raw bench
315x5
I was really beat this workout and I'm probably over trained a bit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have one more bench workout left before a week of rest. I want to push hard this last workout but I also need to give my wrists a break because at this point they are hindering my progress.

I think for the last bench workout I should continue to work on my setup and keep trying to get light weight to touch....

My plan for the meet was to open with my loose shirt and do the 2nd attempt with my loose shirt . Then through on my tight shirt and take 600+ for a ride.

I'm worried that I spent the last month tryingto get something to touch with the meet shirt and I could not for one reason or another. Now I may have developed a weakness where the loose shirt stops working and I take over.

I'm in full panic mode now. This would be my 1st equiped meet and I'm expecting a lot from me.

Any advice ?
 
At the OCt 1st meet I did:
455 - easy
501 - easy
606 - miss

I was disapointed with this workout. I wanted to go over 600+ on boards today.

All I can chalk this terrible performace to is me. I have not been too focused the last 2 weeks and I have been skipping too many meals.
Time to hit the vitamin shop and and get more protien and get in gear.

405x0 - same problem, I flared my arms wide and brought it high on the chest. Then I hit the safety bars and stalled it. It felt heavy but I think I could have gotten it. But like always too damn paranoid about my shoulder. ( I make to many cructhes for myself and I bitch too much! I'm getting tired of this)
315x3 medium grip - had more but I stopped here.

545xmiss touched - felt like I couldn't lockout my right arm
my form is horrible. I go too high on the belly and muscle the weight up and fightthe shirt instead of touching lower and letting the shirt do the work.
495xmiss - working on form (back slipped and couldn't lock it out.)
455x2 working on form.
455x2 - working on form. John and Greg marked my shirt with chalk and I hit the sweet spot twice.

There was some kick @ss benching going on there last night. John hit 725 in a single rage. Joel locked out an easy 755, nt!. Peter was doing bands and chains with over 700lbs at the top. Greg was muscling around 505 and Eric (the leanest most vascular powerlifter I've ever seen) was throwing 315 up like it was an empty bar.

I love training at and the people at iron island. Now if I can get my lazy @ss there on a Saturday to learn how to squat.........

615x0 - I spent 20 min looking for spotters and finally found some. This was really cheesy. This intimidated me and I started bringing the bar up instead of letting it sink in. - I think I have to up the weight and start doing static holds, lockouts, boards, and maybe some negatives.
