Bustin Barriers with Speed X3

[niners4reggie]

All in classes and stuff.

Ya probably. It's a huge building and I only ever use 3 rooms so I have no clue what else is there.

Finally picked up some lifting straps. Can't wait for back day!!

[Hyde]

Gonna be on like donkey kong - now you have to lift even heavier!

I'm so pumped to set some PRs!!!

[niners4reggie]

Did a lil cardio this morning.
20 mins on the bike
10 minutes on stair climber
Heavy bag work with 5 lb dbs

Felt great, my left arm feels so much better today!!! It's amazing how well rolling a tennis ball on sore muscles works!!

Yeah man, good logging so far.

Lifting straps huh? Do those make a big difference. I have never used any.

Thanks bro! Ya I've heard they do,but have never used them before, I cant use chalk at my gym so really hoping so.

[Marms]

I always have at least 2 pair of straps in my bag.

If you can't use chalk they really are a must - like having a high horsepower car with lousy tires, the power is wasted if you can't lay it down. Why drag slicks were invented haha. I don't use them; I am a chalk diehard and if my gym (which has a no chalk policy actually) ever tells me I have to stop or be kicked out I will pack up and change gyms.

It's about personal freedom, 'Merica.

Ya I'm thinking they will help significantly. Nothing more frustrating to me than having to continuously regrip on rack pulls and deads. I could be doing much more weight than I am now. I'm so pumped to use them that I bumped back day up to tomorrow!!

[Hyde]

Your squat weight is just like mine (w/ better muscular endurance) and since those muscles have a lot of carryover if you squat to parallel I bet your dead has a lot more potential man. Gonna get that Speed x3 surge and haul some iron!

[niners4reggie]

I'm gonna give it a hell of a try. I've got my sights on 500 by winter

[niners4reggie]

I love these straps!!! With the combo of Speed X3 it made my training today much better than without them. Even hit a pr on rack pulls!!

Rack Pulls
135x10
225x10
365x8
425x3
455x1 PR!

Rack Pull Shrugs
Changed these up a little. Rack Pull then 5 shrugs back down Rack Pull 5 shrugs etc.
185x8 pulls+40 shrugs x 5 sets
The straps really helped me "pull" this one off!!

Bent Over Db Rows
Left for 10 then right for 10 back to left 10 then right for 10=1 set. I did 3 sets of these with 80 lb db.

Lat Pulls
150x10x4

Alternate Hand Seated Rows
Pull back with left then slowly back to start while pulling back with right so on and so forth. 10 reps per side x 3 sets@70 pounds per side.

Finished with cardio
20 minutes on the bike

5 one minute rounds on heavy bag with 8 lb dbs

Really proud of you and happy for you big guy; knew they'd help you unleash the beast.

I always recommend chalk, but if you can't use it you should definitely have a pair of straps.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! It felt great to not have to worry about dropping the bar. Was able to completely focus on the lift itself.

[niners4reggie]

Did some grappling training tonight along with working on footwork, speed and heavy bags. Took 1/2 serving before and was really able to push it!

Couple pics using an app I just downloaded.
