How were u able to determine the weights be forming pouring

A certain mix of aggregate + cement has a certain poundage per squared foot, I calculated the square foot of the molds roughly. Then weighed them afterwards and was off by 5-10lbs.

Back feeling pretty rough, so didn't go too hard, deadlifts didn't feel as fast as they should have, though the weight is on target as planned.

Chiro and soft tissue work on Thursday, aw yiss.

Thanks, form was way off though from vid review, but it's been two weeks since I pulled sumo and it showed: forward over the bar, minimal hip drive.

 

[CountryLiftin]

I was the same way today with a very similar workout man. No hip drive or glute engagement at all day. You put in the work though that's what's important. Attack it next time. Get better.

Your incline presses have to be the longest motion in the history of weight training. Nice work.

Trying to hit the weak points, most I've ever front PP'ed, I'm uber weak. Gonna try to get up to a 225 push press.

True story, especially with my grip.

You'll see my training partner in the 2nd half of the clip, 132er, strong like bull.

Note the rack height, it's meant for someone 5'3'', not 6'1'', lol.

 

[bolt10]

Nice squat session. That man is crazy strong.

 

[Sean1332]

Strong stuff!

 

[rob112]

Awesome squating NomZ!

 

[herderdude]

I would have counted it as 2 and a quarter reps with that unrack.

 

[NomZ]

Nice squat session. That man is crazy strong.

Ya, kid is a freak. Only slightly annoying to have someone 70lbs lighter load the bar heavier. Though I outlift him everything for now...

Strong stuff!

Awesome squating NomZ!

Thanks guise.

I would have counted it as 2 and a quarter reps with that unrack.

lol truth, both my training partners are manlets and we only have one full cage.

Any critiques or things anyone noticed?

 

[aaronuconn]

Great job on squats man. Good depth per usual.

Condense is a solid pre... never noticed it before but just saw it on NP.

Thanks. My depth should be a touch deeper, but I usually sink it anyways come competition.

Ya I like it. Flavoring is pretty mild, I prefer Watermelon over Island Punch. No coloring. Betaine, BA, caffeine, and nitrate all dosed well.

 

[herderdude]

Only critique I had is you looked a little leaned over at the top, but I'd give that to the low unrack, and your butt wanted to come up first on the first rep, but you reeled it in quickly and got to where you needed to be.

I can see that, I'll blame the low pick out of the rack. Thanks.

My thoughts exactly. Nitpicking really.

 

[NomZ]

My thoughts exactly. Nitpicking really.

I welcome it all. Depth was iffy too, but hard to be positive bc of the camera angle. The one training partner is an USPA judge, so I'm pretty confident in his depth calls during training.

That's pretty cool for training purposes. Hard to question the judge.

Good workout. Bench felt light, so went for a PR with 290. Blew it off my chest to near lockout where I fail everytime, and failed. Through on the Slingshot and 290x2x3 is a PR.

[rob112]

Man that was so close to lockout! Solid pressing regardless. Looks like you will definitely get that wait in the near future.

Thanks, it's my typical brick-wall-stick point, 290 is the goal for the next meet and I want it. Hitting up all sorts of lockou varities.

Good DE session, was going to go lighter, but my training partner was going heavier and I didn't feel like stripping the weights. 405 was still decently quick.

[video=youtube;B4T-HlieDrE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4T-HlieDrE[/video]

 

[herderdude]

Yeah, I'd say that was pretty quick alright. What's the biggest conventional pull you've ever hit?

 

[NomZ]

Yeah, I'd say that was pretty quick alright. What's the biggest conventional pull you've ever hit?

I've never maxed on conventional in the past 3yrs, and the most I've done with conventional is 505 in that time frame. I imagine it would be mid 5's.

Easily mid 5's.

 

[NomZ]

Subscribers, are you not entertained? It's dead in here.

Sending in entry form for Feb 8th, which makes me 4 weeks out. Contest prep mode engaged.

Easily mid 5's.

Never done, so not gonna make any claims.

 

[Sean1332]

Oh I'm here! What fed? USPA? Openers?

 

[NomZ]

Oh I'm here! What fed? USPA? Openers?

USPA Classic Raw, I'm all USPA, doing it with my training partner who is also 198. He'll outbench me by 90lbs and I'll outpull him by 90lbs, down to squat.

Ideally I want that 1500 total, but as long as I improve. Open likely 501/272/580.

 

[Sean1332]

Still weigh 200?

 

[NomZ]

Still weigh 200?

199.4 as of this morning, it's 1.5hr drive away, so I doubt I'll weigh in early, and just drive there the morning of the meet.

Easy then.

181 records are set even higher than 198 by Bryce Lewis I think, no point.

 

[jimbuick]

I'm here too, I just never have much to add after the other guys chime in lol.

 

[NomZ]

I forgot I didn't post about Dan Green's seminar, Brandon Lily ended up quitting at the last minute, but the show went on. Big turnout, a lot of people there. Didn't really hear anything new myself though.

I'm here too, I just never have much to add after the other guys chime in lol.

lol Boss Barbell Club is offering strongman stuff now, supposed to host a small meet in April, you can chime in when that gets closer, bc I'll need it.

 

[Sean1332]

Why don't you train there permanently?

 

[NomZ]

Why don't you train there permanently?

Cost, travel time, and I currently still have a year left at 24hr fitness, who hasn't kicked me out yet. When my membership expires, I'll likely train there, if it's not overrun...

Biggest benefits are the specialty bars and equipment that I don't have access to.

Good session, still trying to figure out push press as this is the 2nd time doing them in forever. Switched to asics on last 3 sets and felt much more planted, but still ended up on my toes, need to fix ankle mobility. Should be doing them in the oly shoes anyways.

 

[Sean1332]

Attempted leg drive?

 

[NomZ]

Attempted leg drive?

I don't know how to leg drive, hence the attempt. Ass came off on half, the other half went up smooth.
