Miked8c's log: 300 and Beyond

[miked8c]

Week 8: Monday

Squat
1x5 162
1x5 203
1x5 244
1x5 284
1x5 325

So i had my buddy spot me on these, but he didnt need to do any work cause I cranked these out. This is heavy ass weight for me to break parrallel on but I tore it up.

Bench
1x5 121
1x5 152
1x5 185
1x5 210
1x5 240

Ok, so I get to the last rep for 240 and am pushing it off my chest and at midway up its barely moving, if at all. However my spot pulled it up before i told him to because he though I was stalling but I was still slowling pushing it up. I think it was up on the air if I could of got that last rep, and I hate to blame it on my spot cause 99% its the lifters fault for not getting it, but I honestly did not want him to step in however he did cause he though i stalled. Miscommunication on my part. Regardless of if I had it or not I will be moving up to 245 next week, I know I'm ready becuase my deadlift and squat keep going up so my bench will follow.

Row
1x5 88
1x5 110
1x5 132
1x5 154
1x5 176

These are a joke, I do em good but I dont have any otivation after I do my heavy squat and bench sets.

ass bro your squat is getting too far ahead of mine I'm gonna go hit the squat twice as hard today

 

[miked8c]

Haha Tblock. If I am doing more weight than you it cant be much. Last time I checked out your log you were crushing some serious numbers on the squat.

na bro I did 300x5 a while back but then I fucked up and tried to do 1 top set of 8 and I lost a ton of strength. I've had it with my squat though and I want to get to 500 on deads so I am running the smolov jr for 3 weeks for squats, started it today.

Week 8: Wendsday

Squat
1x5 160
1x5 205
1x5 244
1x5 244

Mil. Press
1x5 95
1x5 110
1x5 130
1x5 147ish

I put extra clips on each side to hopefully add up to two pounds, this isnt a lift that I am able to increase 5 lbs. each week.

Deadlift
1x5 203
1x5 245
1x5 285
1x5 325

I deloaded each rep on my last set and at the lockout I shrugged to give myself some easy trap work. Heavy weight but it was not difficult I got a while before these stall.

Good shit! Your military press is catching up to my old record of 150x5 when I was doing them, shit! What do you mean by deloaded each rep? Do you mean you full stopped it, ie you set the bar on the ground and paused for a second?

 

[miked8c]

Damn man, 5 reps for 150 thats damn good. Yeah I let the weight settle on the floor to make sure there was no bounce assisting me on the way up.
