Pretty good session tonight, warmups felt good speed wise, and 365 wasn't too bad for 5 singles.

Barbell PL Free Squats
45lbs x 8
45lbs x 10
135lbs x 6
135lbs x 3
185lbs x 5 (belt and wrist wraps on, I throw the belt on earlier when I plan on going heavy just to get used to it)
225lbs x 3
275lbs x 3
335lbs x 1
365lbs x 5 sets x 1 rep - Pretty decent all around, #2 was probably the worst, and #5 was probably the best.

Barbell Romanian Deadlifts
45lbs x 8
45lbs x 8
135lbs x 5
185lbs x 5
235lbs x 4 sets x 5 reps (mixed grip)

Standing Ab Pulldowns w/ Rope
80lbs x 8 warmup
100lbs x 3 sets x 8 reps

Grip Work: Barbell Static Hold, Double Overhand.... My grip sucks ass, it's likely one of my biggest limiting factor in my deadlift.
225lbs x 11 seconds
225lbs x 24 seconds
225lbs x 13 seconds
-pretty erratic times there, but it helps a lot if I can wrap my thumb around the tops of my index and middle fingers and hold it there.

Got vids of squats, will upload to Youtube when I'm done converting etc...

Also, never mentioned this, but when I went to my doctor for my annual checkup before school started, he mention I have a weakness in my abdominal wall on the right side, and it may eventually cause a hernia. He said keep doing what I'm doing if it's something I enjoy, and if I do get a hernia then just deal with it then.

As a result, on squats and deadlifts, I'm generally going to use my belt when I get to around 70-80% of my 1RM... Occasionally I may deadlift for singles a little heavier than that without a belt, but not very often. Sometimes I do notice slight discomfort in my abs when training, but it's not painful so I'm not too concerned at this point.

Well..... Video's are ready, but Youtube's not... I mean, come on... Why do they think people aren't up at 2:30 AM and it's ok to do maintenance then?

Took it fairly easy today, was still a bit sore from monday's squats and good mornings, going for 215 doubles on bench tomorrow and a heavy single squat monday provided i feel decent and can get some spotters.

Things didn't go the best tonight... missed 415. Should've had it, I felt good, warmups felt good, 375 was fairly fast and smooth. I got videos of the warmup but memory card ran out when I was about to unrack 415, plus side spotters would've been in the way. I think I probably lost my arch in the hole, spotters left my wobbling in the hole for ~3-4 seconds before helping, next time I'll just rely on the safety pins...

I've gained about 5-6lbs in the last 2 weeks or so, seems to be helping, along with band speed work.

With all the work you did between 225 and 245, and the speed you listed for that 245, you might have a 275 in you if you jump from a single 225 set and give it a shot, or maybe add a rep at 245 and then 275. Don't try without a spotter though, being stapled to bench is no fun.

incline is a tricky lift, Sean! When I don't work up my weights on that consistently it is noone near my flat bench.

btw I played audiosurf on Parabola and Sweat, it didn't seem to match up with the audio too well.

It's pretty cool though if it would synch up better.

-445lbs felt very good and quick. Took ~1.5-2 seconds to lift. I felt good enough about it to try 465, but my ass was way too high to early to complete it. I definitely think I have 455-465 in me right now though.
No deadlifting for the next 2 weeks. After that I might do some reverse bands, rack deads, or 405 for triples.

Thats outstanding that you can squat 205 for reps with bands anchoring you down.

That must have felt really tough. The strain on the quads must be massive.

Not really... It's pretty easy weight, which I why I was doing speed squats with it. The mini bands don't add a whole lot the the way I set them up on squats, I should probably move to lights for squatting.

On squats I just anchor one end to the 100lbs plate, and other end to the bar. On bench, I have both ends of the band anchored to the weight, and the middle of the band anchored to the bar, so there's quite a bit more tension that way. I can do that since the bar's closer to the floor when benching, that wouldn't work as well with squatting.

- I should maybe list that as 475 because of the 10lbs of chalk I used on the bar... It was pretty humid today and my palms were sweaty, so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss this due to grip.

- I'm not going to pull from the floor for ~6 weeks. Every third week I'll do rack deads against bands, or platform pulls until then. The next 2 weeks I'll be playing around with my briefs provided they get here... I ordered last Monday (24th) and still haven't gotten shipping confirmation.

After calling about my briefs Tuesday, I finally received shipping confirmation and a tracking number today. It's been exactly a month since I ordered them (3/24). They arrived in Kentucky at 10:00 AM today, so hopefully they'll make it here tomorrow, so I can give them a go Monday.

You're folding over because of weak abs. Work those abs heavier and harder and push those abs out against that belt. Otherwise good job, keep putting heavier weight on your back.

Secondly, using the term "gear whore" constitutes trademark infringement. You will be hearing from my attorneys.

Vlad from the Coliseum Gym, holding a 1250 squat is training at the North Gym where I train now. Today before I left I saw him do 875 x 3. I'm sure he loves not having a monolift and walking the weight out now.

Heck, that was probably his speed day. Is he there consistently or just occassionally? I thought he was down at Westside for awhile. It's not like he'd have a hard time finding a monolift around here if he really needed one.

Nice bench PR BTW. Next time tell the spotter to not touch the bar unless you're completely stapled. 275 stuck on the chest isn't too bad.

Vlad's been there consistently the last 2 weeks, at least. And it was actually 915-935... Someone told me 875, but he had 3 100lbs plates, and 3 45lbs plates per side, and then he may have had a 5 or 10 on each as well. I find it hard to believe he trusts those bars with that much weight on them.
