Sean's Powerlifting Journey

I'm pulling a deadlift max today because I can't next week.

Gear guys-which suit should I pull in? I might jump into one if I have any energy left afterwards. Both are double ply.

Edit: Apparently I started to suck at pulling, Couldn't move past 545 today. Not putting a suit on.

Isn't it odd how deadlift is like that some days the weight flys other just feels heavy and doesn't want to move well
 
2" below my knees. I started doing "the shake" which I've never done. Just all felt off. 555 is the current 1RM. Broke the floor easily with 565 twice and got just below my knees. Bleh.
 
You'd have nailed that 565 if you'd used the 2-ply the whole time ;)

If you wanna get rid of one of the suits, PM me & maybe we can work something out. Wouldn't mind one at all for random ego-boosting overloads.
 
haha ya right? Those are my gym owners. I have a singly ply Inzer Hardcore squat suit in your size (as long as you're under 210lbs) Good condition if interested.
 
Upper

Warmup
-Lax mash pec/ant delt
-Chris Duffins thoracic warmup
-Myofascial psoas stretch


Bench Press
Bar x 15
95x12
135x10
185x6
225x3 + Reactive Slingshot
245x3
265x3
265x3

Circuit (3 Sets of 10-12 reps, 1 min between rounds)
Lat Pulldown x120#
Tricep Ext x175#
Seated Chest Supported Row x190#
Dumbell Preacher Curl x20#
Seated Dumbell Cleans x15#

Benching felt fine. AC was a bit tight but I'll scrape some crap out and make sure I sleep on my back. I wanted a change if pace so I did a circuit. Now I'm sweating my ass off.

Might go poke around in the strongman stuff here now...
 
Long as I break 300 in Oct I'll be happy. Shoulder is doing good. Need to hit up some Graston soon though. I can feel all the adhesions in the pec minor. My anterior delt is clear, for the first time in months at least.

You should definetly make your way to my gym someday before your wife pops!
 
Ahh ya saw your farmer walks, guessing they were 2" handles?

I was ready with preworkouts and protein each time though

Good to hear. Reviews say that the signature golds are terrible. Saw a video of Henry Thomason talking about the platinum's and reviews looked good.

TITANWRAPS is the code for 20% off at liftinglarge thru the 5th I believe for all titan wrist & knee wraps (not sleeves). Just got the email.
 
I am about to buy some wraps (knee and wrist) with that coupon. It is pushing me over the edge! :lol:
 
They claim that Titan tends to up their general pricing too soon, but they're holding pricing on what's in inventory & trying to push it out faster w/ the sale. So they claim. So now probably is a pretty decent time if you were gonna anytime soon.
 
Well.... that coupon code made for an easy parting of some cash for me... :)
 
Bunch of gear whores. Still squatting in my 5yr old VS Dynamos and 2yr old RPM wraps.

If this is a plea to have us buy you wraps it's not happening ma man!

Lol I actually have 5 pairs of wraps... 3 of which are nearly brand new.

I'm thinking shoes might be necessary soon or just having my Dynamos resoled...
 
Speaking of soles.

Sean, I just got the shoes today. Now, what's the difference between the soles, one for training one for competition? What's the difference?
 
Sean1332 said:
Ones hard with no arch (comp) the other is kinda soft with minimal arch. They fit?

Ok, I guess I just don't understand the mechanics behind why it's necessary to have two different soles.

They fit perfect man!
