RESURRECTION - Trial by POWER!!!

[King Silverback]

Thank you!!!

Nice squatting. Can't help you on the knee wraps though. I've never used them.

Thank you Brother Triple!!! Oh well, I'll see how they do!!!

First off thats a hell of a leg curl lol. Do you mean knee wraps or knee sleeves? One can prevent pain the other just helps you squat more and potentially ruins ones knees.

Thank you BRother Brutus!!! Wraps, I do not have any pain at all, just wonderin if I really need them I guess!!!

Knee wraps give me huge poundage increases but also cause me pain..... I only use them when i am preparing for a comp.....neoprene sleves though could help with pain?

also huge numbers

Thanks for the input, appreciate the compliment as well my Friend!!!

My claim to fame has always been squats and one more rep and you got me there!

To be in your league, I will be honored my Friend!!!

Really happy w/ todays w/o!!! The Bench felt REALLY Solid, hoping for around 345 or maybe even 350 for a max single attempt next week!!! Then I will have 1 day of doing MAX lifts on all the Big 3 movements after next weeks attempts, and then take a week off, go on my Cruise, WHOO HOO!!! Then when I get back will be starting over at around 70% of max lifts for another go around!!!
Also, I want double digits in ALL secondary work, so until I HIT at least 10 on the first mini-set, there will be NO increase!!! Trying to be intelligent about this, LOL!!!

[JerseyDevil]

Dude, awesome progress. With 335 x 2 BP with good form, I'd say a 350-355 single is a done deal.

 

[Bakerboy]

Great job!!!!

 

[Pylon]

Hey, I think there is a typo there. It says you are using 405 to warm up.



That is a typo, right?

 

[Brutus_G]

Excellent workout!

[Andalite]

That was it, taking it easy this week and next!!!

 

[soxmuscle]

"That was it, taking it easy this week and next!!!"

You squatted 475 pounds, you bastid! Ha. Be proud.

 

[DOMS]

No joke. 425 was his warm-up!

 

[Pylon]

Awww, come on! You can't move that amount of iron an not have muscle.

Not true. There is a place down the street that rents out bulldozers.

 

[Bakerboy]

If anyone needs a week off it's you!

 

[Triple Threat]

Deads and squats with 400+ to warmup. PRs with almost 500! You've taken to powerlifting rather well, I do say.

 

[King Silverback]

Okay my Friend, you asked for 'em!!! I posted 3 from my last contest in my Gallery!!!

Thank you VERY Much BRother Triple, I appreciate that comin from "Mr. I can Deadlift a Hummer"!!!

 

[Stewart14]

i gotta ask....did you feel nervous at all with all that weight on your back? I think I would go into hyperventilation just standing there with all that on my back plotting the decent!

you know, when you stare at 475 pounds on the ground getting ready for a deadlift, yeah, you may be a bit aprehensive about it, but there is no fear...you can't get it up, you drop it, no harm no foul. you have 475 hanging out up there on your shoulders, and that's a whole other story. I know you probably did this in a power rack so you could just drop the bar on the pins, but it's still gotta be nuts right?

I will be happy to do a squat with 4 plates sometime in my life, and you're already past that. Where were all these numbers when you were doing your "other" routines? You seem to have just gone up and up everyweek since you decided to change your "focus" to powerlifting. Is that all it took??

No, actually I didn't worry at all, I've always loved squats, and I'mreally enjoying the new routine, so I didn't really think too much, just unracked, focused in, took a deep breath, lowered till my partner said Squat when I was ATF, and then exploded outta the hole!!! Felt really good!!!
Deads are my achilles heel, I can't focus in on these, my pull strength is horrible compared to my Squats, and my Bench has always been hard for me!!!
Have Faith in yourself my Friend, you'll be doing 4 wheels in no time!!!
Believe to Achieve!!!
Must be the "dark side"

And I'm the opposite of you. A heavy weight resting on my shoulders just seems so unstable. But for DLs, I just walk up the bar, squat down, grab hold of the bar, and stand up, trying to drive my heels through the floor.

I know my partner says I just need to take the same attitude w/ deads as I do squats, he can see a change in me w/ my confidence when I get under the bar, but he says the confidence is just not there on the deads!!! I just need to buckle down and pull,pull,PULL!!!


Thanks for the input Brother Triple, I need ALL the help I can get on Deads!!!
