2b 810x1(PR!)
3b 840x1(PR!)

band pushdowns/flyes

***tonite was good session. mason came by to help out since jons' back was still not 100%. he's benchin a lot faster than before and 650 off 3b was a his best set. matt did 755 off 1b, 785 off 2b, and 805 off 3b and still a 242. strong work bro! i missed 780 again off 1b but i know why. jon pulled up my shirt further and it got into the armpits and got seated. it wasn't on the 780. next week this will be different. i was a bit pissed and decided to do 810 off 2b and 840 off 3b. 780 didn't feel heavy at all, shirt wasn't seated so this will be fixed next week. now everything between 685 and 810 feel alike. 840 felt different but i can get used to it. unless frankl tells me different, i'll just keep doin this until i touch that 1b with 780 which WILL be next week.

lockout
945x1

speed deads
405x7 sets of 1

***tonite was a good squat session. matt went 685 and 735 on squats and got some deep reps in. then did a lockout with 850ish which is good to do to hold some weight. he did good tonite once we got the suit where it needs to be. it was the first time tonite i had the straps up on my traps which felt better going down. 810 wasn't too heavy for me and i was told to go up next week which is fine by me. speed deads was a bit slow tonite after squats but still good to do them. did some abs today too and will do some later this week.

squats are goin well..

***tonite i went back to my old format that i had. not sure where the extra work came from but tonite was awesome. PRed on repouts with 24 reps which after speed bench i would only end up with 18-20. murdered the side laterals, pulldowns, and hammers. bw is up from 315 to 324 which i think really i'm 320. i hit some extra pushdowns, curls, and abs and was done.

135x10 225x6 315x3 405x1
raw 3bs
455x1 495x1 565x1(PR!!) 495x6 495x6

pushdowns and flyes with bands

***tonite it was me and jon so i didn't do any shirt work just some raw 3bs for fun. PRed with 565 after missing it and then did some reps with 495 for 2 sets which worked on speed. jon did his shirt session but his tendonitis flared up halfway thru cause his benches to be a bit slower than usual. still strong. not much tonite but still on the hunt for more lifters. also, the apf ga meet was moved again to oct 17th which gives us more time and maybe considering the spf push/pull as a training meet for the bench...stay tuned...

choices...choices...

***not a whole lot to this session. muscled up 585 with no form. halfway thru the 405 for reps my form got better so such was the point of this session. did some speed deads with 315 for speed. next week i will do some speed pulls from the pins while trying to handle heavier weight. sunday is bench...lookin foward to it!

***tonite was a good session. jon, matt, ted, and andy trained last nite. andy had some strong reps off board. PRed with 565 off 3-board and smoked 455 off 2-board easy. ted had a strong nite as well as jon did though last nite was his first time with higher volume and with 2bs added. matt had an off nite but will be back stronger next week. i missed 765 off 1.5b but it flew up with the shirt too jacked. we unjacked a bit for 775 and it came up slower so might have to play with where the shirt needs to be with upper 700s on the bar. i practically muscled up 820 off 2-board with the shirt up high. for anything over 800, jon will have to super jack it like he did two weeks ago and give it a light jack with upper 700s. i don't pay enough attention on where my shirt is just bench from where it is like the "brute" i am and its something matt does well is knowing where his shirt needs to be. i need to pay attention to it more. we did some suicides, which we will start doin again. i'm also goin to incorporate lockouts on my accy day to help lockout strength(hey, matt...hint..hint!!). also, i'm goin to drop my volume a bit to put on size and see how it goes.

squats are up next,

***first our squat session wasn't the best we had in a while and a week off might have thrown things off. we will get better next week...both me and matt. jon was doing good working back in his briefs with 585 and had to cut it there. me and matt had trouble gettin stable with 800 and 750 respectively but we need to pull our heads out of our asses and do it better next week. yesterday, i trained with my bro jason in clanton and hit some raw benchin, back and shoulders. we were a bit rushed which is why i finished up my accy work today. me and jason were bringing the intensity for sure. he did 100s on side laterals while i did 130s. he has a good base for powerlifting so we will see. started the first week of the gillespie raw bench routine so we will see how it goes.

all over the place...getting work done!

***this week we all were feelin a bit beat up...even me. the raw work felt strong though. that gillespie routine seems to be kickin in. missed 780 off 1-board again which sucks. my shirt was up high. matt got 755 off 1b and jon got 680 off 3-boards and killed 625 off 2-boards. jack from auburn came and hit a session with us. it was ridiculous on his arch/setup and i think we all learned a bit from him. he got a 525 3-board and missed 545 which was already a huge PR for him. we are changing things up next week since all of us are a bit beat up right now.

gotta stay the course
