Did you use the bar for the uni RDL? I'm trying to imagine how that would work.
Click to expand...
Ya, I used a regular barbell, picked it off the ground, switch to unilateral and perform RDLs with soft touch on floor.
 
Bar is easier than DB's IMO. Holds you steady, looks harder than it is. Ever do Bulgarian splits with a bar? Same kinda feel.

I do both, whatever is more readily available, but you're right, still sucks.

Hit the hammies the hardest.
 
Rehabs are most certainly tasty. 365x3x8 in just a belt, huh? You gotta be pretty close to ready for 1500, I'd give you 575 at least in wraps with those kind of numbers.

Pink is my favorite.

Ya, the 365x3x8 sucked ass on the third set. I'm thinking I'll be raw raw next meet in October and break 551 to be a top ten ranked 198 in squat.

551/300/660 I see very possible by October, if not more since I'm within 10-20lbs of each of those lifts already.

I like the plan, man. You're right on the cusp of being ranked, and 551 is well within reach. That's all I've been focused on of late, getting my name on that PLWatch board. I have a shot at single ply bench and maybe raw/wraps squat. I don't necessarily plan on PRing on squats while dropping a weight class, we'll have to see how it goes.

Running on empty, was at the San Jose Fit Expo handling two single ply lifters, then hit the gym. I had to skip DE deadlifts Friday because I had a weird allergic reaction to something and knees/ankles were super swollen and ROM was restricted. Going to DE Squat/Dead tomorrow.

Be jealous that Sparkle likes me and let me drop in.

Talked to Dan a bit about changes he's made in his sumo form, and my own form.
 
Isn't Dan going head to head with a very good competitor in his weight class soon? I recall reading about a big meet.

That's always throws me off when I feel good and the weight doesn't. Just goes to show you never know what's gonna happen.

Despite the low reps, was still pretty full and vascular. Energy was enough to get me a little fired up considering how little rest and recovery I've gotten in lately, diet has been poor as well.


1345lb total is about 100lbs less than my last meet total, so not too bad I guess with my current circumstances but still feels pretty bad.


Off until Mon/Tues.

What went wrong with squat and bench? Still a strong day nonetheless.

Squat I buried and then rebounded about 3" above parallel before cutting out, got it higher than 570 fail a while ago, but I just didn't have the energy. Same as bench, plus left forearm's tendinitis is extremely bad ATM.

Bummer on the misses, but good lifting anyways! I'd seen you mention feeling ill, didn't catch the part about your GF's surgery - best wishes on a speedy recovery!

(hearing about surgery makes me nervous anymore after my mom had some issues in supposedly routine surgery that caused her to go septic & d@mn near die...)

Finally a decent workout, still not on point, but wasn't that bad. Squats felt a little heavy but I was getting good rebound out of the hips in the hole.


Enjoying the overall fullness I'm getting that doesn't interfere with my ROM or is too painful. Calves hadn't been that full/pumped in a long time.

At Boss, figured it'd be dead before their first meet, I was correct. But Dan and Brandon are doing interviews in the main lifting room. Crossfit area it is for me.

Dan Green and Brandon Lilly were giving interviews in the main lifting room, so I was in the crossfit area and stuck with just bumpers and a barbell. My lower body is still wrecked from Tuesday's squat in terms of DOMS, so this was a nice lighter workout.


Lower back was pumped from the deads...
