was the dead raw?

sorry PL terminology. Raw means with no supportive gear. as you'll see in the 690 attemps i had a squat suit on. The 660 was done with only a belt.

[PumpingIron]

Yea, i understand all that good stuff, but i didn't read the last line of your first paragraph...i just jumped to the lifts...my bad.

buki just curious ho do you determine the winner in your speed bench comp.

buki just curious ho do you determine the winner in your speed bench comp.

one point for each round. fastest speed wins the round. Any default on form causes an automatic loss as well via not touch, not locking, missing groove with bar to high or low, crooked bar path etc.

makes the speed bench day a little more entertaining and really makes you not slack off on driving for speed and maintaining form.

I’m getting a bit worn down the last 2 weeks. It might just be mental as well with all the activity around the house remodel I’m also working on…but probably not. Going to have to start cutting stuff out over the next 3 weeks to allow myself to catch up from the fatigue accumulation and get ready for the competition.

I had trouble locking the right side…which is the side I’ve been having some forearm knotting problems this last week. Also think the Katana shirt is a bit much for my lockout strength right now, so I may have to use the old Rage X to open with a lower weight.

Kapookie, I just got a SSB and a box to whoop my form into shape on squats. I'll get back with the vids on our other site soon enough. I'd like more input from you when I do.

[PumpingIron]

SSB? thats an acronym I'm unsure about.

[kabuki]

Safety Squat Bar. its like a real large cambered bar. overloads different muscle groups in squat. i have not built mine yet.

i'll check it out. when you get the vids up ubi.

[PumpingIron]

I see...I knew what it was, but I was unsure of it's name...Thank buki.

Short night as this was going on across street when we got to my place and we had to watch for awhile.

[kabuki]

LOL ya post whore

just taking it easy but my lockout on deads is low right now. not much i can do with just 2 weeks...but at least this will not let it drop any further.

[Ubiquitous]

Is that the Okie?

That's a lot of weight on that tharrrr bar.

[kabuki]

Is that the Okie?

That's a lot of weight on that tharrrr bar.

since it was a rack pull i just used the powerbar. i should have used the okie to see if i could hold it without straps...but by the time i thought of that i had the bar loaded.

I’m really feeling quite good today. Dropping the volume out this week has really turned me around. The last two weeks I was getting pretty beat down. I will probably bump it back up a hair next week and then drop it down to near nothing the following week leading to the competition.

If I lift at all today it will be just doing a 10x2 speed box squat session.

This weekend will be physically and mentally challenging as I will be doing the major parts of you house renovation…and the most I’ve done before this is install a door. I’m cutting out the center 12ft section of the top floor of you house and removing the roof…and getting it all rebuilt before it rains on Monday. Wish me Luck!!!

[bigmidge]

Good luck with the renovations and thanks for the log. It's inspiring.

thanks bigM
