Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

oh shit... i almost didn't see this post snuck in there, lol.

Thanks man... grrrrr I hate you, lol.... stalled out much higher than I.
Yeah, really... 700lbs on your back you crazy bastard!! You are going to destroy your PR's at the Comp bro!!!

Na, no bands... bare minimum there, yoga mom focused.

Do you think the bands helped or was it more of a strategic deload??

I'm sure we all have points in a lift that are slightly weaker than others...but I need to train the full ROM and get stronger at it...

If I start working out with 225 for 1/4 reps... what would happen when i brought it all the way to my chest?? :worried: ... i dunno.

I'm going to give these triples a few weeks and see what happens I guess... bands aren't an option, period...unless I bought them (not happening... OLY shoes first if i'm going to spend any money on gear).

SGT, the bands still get a FULL ROM. I do my REG bench. then do some Band work. Tripples only worrying about speed not weight. You do your REG BENCH. Then hook up some bands for some extra work.....

I bought aesics or however u spell em, 40$ wrestling shoes NICE.

I would never train 'part' of a lift just like u said. Ill train my whole lift and then tweak a following exercise to help my main lift...

I don't have any bands dude :( Can't do band work.

Niiiice... my puma speed cats (flat driving shoe) are similar to wrestling shoes, but a solid heel will, without a doubt be nicer for squating.

In a nut shell:
You did more benching after your "regular" ... so basically just increased the workload? If that's it... that's what my 2nd benching day is for with the 5x8.

hey sarge, what was your single max rep for bench when you started?

Whatever some max calculator says would be a 1 rep from 200x4 :)

I never benched for singles... and I don't like guestimating my max... like "yo whaddya bench" Me : "I deadlift over 400 lbs" lol...that's what my response is when I get asked, cuz my body is just built for pulling... naturally.

I don't know... too low, that's for damn sure though. And I'm working on changing that.
