Sean's going for strength.

Fantastic PB, lookin strong my Friend!!!

Seanp156 · 06-11-2006, 11:05 AM

Thanks Arch, not QUITE strong enough yet, but hopefully I'll be there by October =)

Why did you go to 225 to 255? Seems like a big jump.

Seanp156 · 06-11-2006, 11:11 AM

Because they made me

They were going to have me try 275 after 255, but Paul was just like "NO."

I asked one of them if going from 165 for warmup to 225 was too big of a jump and he said "No, you should try it while you still have some power left." Makes sense in a way, but I'm not used to it, and probably wouldn't do it on my own.

Yep... I'm not sure exactly how old, but I'd guess the majority are in their early 30's or so, some are maybe mid 30's - early 40's. There's one other that's probably mid-late 20's, but I'm definately the youngest.

It's funny how immature they can be though... One of them was farting around and joking about it

Sounds like these sessions with the PLers is doing you some good. Great work there Sean!

Yep, the form change was definately a big help, even though I still have a LOT to work on with it... Not too mention having spotters, and trainees to train with that know what they're doing.

Hehe, true...

Well, I went to a little graduation grill-out for one of my really good friends college graduation today...

Inside of 2 hours I had a TON of food... I had my normal meal of chicken, veggies, pearled barley, and olive oil right before I went, and then I had carrots, watermelon, cookies, a hotdog, an 8oz steak, and about a 5oz burger there....

I have a feeling I'm not going to be hungry enough the rest of the night to get my normal meals in... I'll probably only manage one of the two I usually have.

Pylon · 06-11-2006, 06:57 PM

That's a good amount of food to put down, but what's a BBQ without meat?

True, true... I almost felt like going for more steak.... It was good

I have already been to two graduation parties so far. My brother and sister both graduated (one college, the other highschool) and we're having a big party on the 24th.

FOOD GALORE!

What do cookies taste like, because I forgot. What does bread taste like?
Actually, don't tell me. I don't want to remember.

Thanks man. Looking at the 355 video, it looks easy, but when I did it, there was a lot of stress in my lower back... It's odd how watching it, it looks easy, but it feels totally different.

315x1 warmup

345x1

355x1

**CowPimp** · 06-12-2006, 11:01 PM

Nice lookin' dead. I bet you still have more in you. When I hit my last PR it was about a 6-8 second lift. I had to fucking grind.

Heh, 6-8 secs would probably just make me want to drop it

. Hrmm... Think I should go for 365 or 375 next week, or switch the rep scheme up?
