And I agree there is definitely a mental component involved....you psyched yourself out by the sheer thought of having to lift 500 pounds, yet you managed to lift 475 which is only 25 measly little pounds away. The way I went about lifting 450 yesterday was after I hit the 435 lift, I just said to myself how it's only 15 more pounds, not that it was 450 pounds. I knew I hit the 435, so I knew that I could do another 15 pounds, hence, I made the lift. I think if I stared at it and said, "wow, 450 pounds", I might have missed it cause that's heavy stuff. of course, like TT mentioned, the 405 x 10 may have had just a tiny bit to do with it, hehe, but next time you do them, if your goal is to get 500, I would just do this, and I guarantee you will get it and then I guess win the competition you bastard!: 135 x 8 225 x 3 315 x 3 365 x 3 455 x 1 500 x 1 Also take note of how much your trap bar actually weighs....my trap bar is 50 pounds, so if you throw 4 plates on each side, you are actually at 410, not 405....so you might be doing 505 |
THAT'S the mental part of it for me.

Me, I wouldn't know what that is like, I still haven't gotten a raise in salary since the beginning of 2005. you know, you would think the fricken school district would realize how important the IT department is to the smooth functioning of what everyone does every single day and take care of us for that, but no, the Board of Ed just decides to screw us because we are not in a union yet, and we have no power to negotiate our own salaries, so they fuck us.

I dropped to 189 this morning. I was up to 192-193. I'm trying to (as always) reduce my waist line. I look best about 185-186. It seems I get on a "waist reducing kick" every year around this time of year. At least it keeps me away from all the snacks at work and parties.

But I gotta ask....where is the 500 trap bar dead huh? |
I used straps. If I could row 140 without straps I'd be crushing bricks with my bare hands. I can probably do 3 or 4 rows with 140 without straps. You already got 500 so there's no motivation for me. I'll have to shoot for 505 next week

NFL linebacker?? NHL power forward?? MLB Pitcher?? Elite powerlifter???hmmm the possibilites are endless!
