Yeah dude I just feel so bad for the little guy
 
I hit up dead lifts yesterday but capped out at 385, just wasn't feeling it. Took an off day today, really needed to catch up on a little sleep. I really have been dragging ass the past few days in the morning, not sure why.

Really hoping my NP order with my DCP refill gets here before I run out! Also need the protein I got in that order, I'm just about totally out now.

Busy day today guys!! I will update in the morning tomorrow.

The banana nut flavor is really good!
 
Just popping in, how's it going? I haven't been on here or in the gym for about 4 days. Been out of it and dealing with my dog, he's got fleas.

I'm going to compete in the NYS Championships next year just for the hell of it, so I'm going to take the next 12 months to really beef my lifts up.

Set the bar on the safety pins halfway between chest and lockout and press to lockout

Ohh... May have to try that on Smith. I don't think the pins are low enough. Will investigate tomorrow....
 
Squat day mahfuggas!

Squats: BWx10, 125x5, 215x3, 265x3, 285x3, 335x1, 395(+10)x0(slow neg), 385x1, 375x1, 335x4-3-3

Dead stop box squats (4" below parallel, 2 seconds in the hole): 215x3, 265x3-3, 285x3, 300x1

Already feel my legs wanting to rip apart. Believe it or not the 300lb dead stop was harder than the 385lb full squat. Dead stops really kill the momentum and help build your power from the floor. Hoping this will help to bring up my top line number a little bit faster and also help strengthen my form at the bottom position.

tomorrow I'll be working on my arms and then saturday will be deadlifts followed by shoulders.
 
gonna have to look into these dead stops. recently went way back in weight on my squats to work on form. ego definitely took a hit but it's worth it.
 
you set a box (or in my case the safety pins on my rack) to a point where when you're down as far as you can go (I se the bb down on the pins) my ass-kneecap plane is 4" below parallel. Then I get under the bar and lift to full lockout, then down SLOWLY until the bar hits the pins, hold tension without lifting it for 2 seconds and then repeat. Try to lift explosively because you have absolutely ZERO momentum left over from your way down and you don't get that hamstring bounce like on full squats.

I'll try to remember to shoot some video for these lift builders for you Tom.

Pin presses, dead stop bench, dead stop squats, deficit deadlifts, and rack pulls are all designed to build up certain sections of the lift. Usually the bottom of the lift is the weakest and needs the most work, where the closer you get to lockout the esier it gets, so by building up your strength in the bottom position it helps you accelerate your strength gains on the full lift. Especially when you're dealing with heavier weight, it also helps to solidify your form in that weaker position which will help to strengthen your shoulders (bench), back/core(deads), and knees (squats) so you're less prone to injury (in my opinion, I haven't sought out any studies).

Thats good that you guys made enough. DCP was popular enough, the release of DCP2.0 was HIGHLY anticipated! Looks like I'll be getting mine on monday according to tracking. I think I have just enough left to last me until then.

I've got a bunch of protein coming too. I ran out last week and have been using those pre-mixed muscle milk's they had on sale at the grocery store. They taste like old chocolate milk filtered through a used diaper. You know, not too bad
