13 Weeks to RPS Rawdawg Nats: Herder's PUUUGHE Comeback

Thanks guys, real happy with the progress.

Brandon Lilly went with the hammer and sickle as a nod to the Russian methods that the Cube is based upon.

Merry Xmas, Smoker.

Be advised, we are the Americans (not South or Central as implied by lack of modifier), of the USA, and English is the language we speak.

Dude you're killing it. Are you in PCT?

I am. And I'm training about 10lbs lighter than I did the whole meet cycle. This is why I'm questioning whether or not I should cycle for awhile. I always make gains in PCT. But I always respond extremely well to my DS cycles.

Yeah, I know what you mean -- French, German, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese history, all particularly wonderful.

I like it Bc there's a whole lot more. The relationships with neighboring countries and their trade, and governmental progressions is awesome.

You have Russian being closed off from Europe, Napoleon, crusades, Anglo French relations, revolutions, interesting political parties, unifying Germany, etc.

It's all good, you can hate on our history with impunity, as long as you identify it as "English" history. ;)

Time for whiskey! If you haven't been imbibing already, that is.

I'm googling "aperitif" now. It must be a real word because my iPhone typed it.Edit: It's the "snack" the precedes the meal.

Goes with pre dinner cocktails, particularly well suited for 4:20 pm kindness. I need to make a resolution to be less figurative, lol.
 
I've decided to shirt up for a ballz out ME day. Yeah buddy! Shirt fits a lot tighter in the sleeves than it did when I got it. Also going to try the putting it on inside out trick to get the cuff tighter. Hopefully I'll give you guys a big honkin bench to gawk at here in a few.
 
So it went really well. Shirt fits a lot better tucking the sleeves and weighing in at 240 than it does weighing 212.

Benchin (all sets max legal)
280x5
315x1
add elbow sleeves and 2-board
370x1

I smoked that weight. I mean bent it over and made it my bitch. That was sweet.

Remove sleeves, add shirt
370x1 smoked
410x1 PR, crushed
460x0 nope

Earthquake Bar +88lbs x5x12

Kabuki Time

Bottom up KB presses
44x2x1 each arm. Set it in place with two hands, so I cheated
55x1 right arm

Walking Bottom Up KB Press
17lbsx15

Mace Swings

DB Row
115x3x15

Curls

Catback Lat Pulldown

Vogelpohl Row/Facepull/Pullapart
4x15

Pump was noice. Looked like I gained 10lbs from the posture pump.

Done. Did what I set out to do, bench heavy, then bro out. Might do a bench comp in my sleeves on the 18th, get the 365 monkey off my back. Beltless sumo cube cycle starting tomorrow or next week. I think next week. Tomorrow I'll set my max in gear, then work 95% training max percentages RAWWR. Seriously considering working 95% training max percentages off of 540 for my beltless squats as well. Doesn't seem to be impossible.

Will upload the 410 bench. It's a long-ass video, so bear with me.
 
Here it is. Like I said, long video. Notice the strength of the beard on my handoff man. The jacked side spotter did his first meet with me. He went 440/350/500, with the latter two looking like warmups. He likes competition bars now. :)

Side spotter look like a top... My legs may be bigger. lol but he squats a lot more than me so...
 
You tell me, smoker, are your legs bigger?

The meet squats were the first ones he did to depth in his life. I had to teach him how to hit depth in the warmup room. He had a few misconceptions coming from BBing style training. His wife did crossfit for maybe a year before we got her to do a meet. Now she has 5 different fed records and he came along for the ride. Iron bug, it's a beautiful thing.
 
Damn boss, you did make that your bitch. Very nice. That shyt would break my wrists.

He looks a lot bigger when not next to you. ;)
 
His legs knee down look pretty small in the bench vid. Especially when his upper body is the size it is. All I'm saying.
 
I can see what you're saying about calves, smoker. Mine are also relatively small, like maybe 17", I dunno. Another muscle group I don't have time to train. I just don't wear shorts that cover my knee. Or my tattoo. Or my scrotum.
