*Matched 10” log PR, which I did @9.5*, which is probably to be expected with the bigger diameter log. Wasnt sure if wed be using a 10” or 12” next weekend so I just wanted to get one training day in with the 12”.

Found out today that I am not built for the 18” deadlift lol. This is essentially starting right at my typical fail point on conv pulls. Honestly thinking I probably wont do that static monsters thing next Saturday at this point. The 18” deadlift seems like more of a injury liability and something that would really piss me off and have me trying to pull something im not currently capable of.

Thank you for corroborating my thoughts on it. I feel like less of a pussy now. Much appreciated.I thought about doing a Static Monsters near me this Saturday, but I hate 18" deadlifts. All risk, no reward.
I feel the same. I have zero interest in static monsters. I am not particularly good at 18” and axles even worse, and it was just never a satisfying lift for me. After watching short guys who deadlift what I can from the floor pull 800 while I hit 680 (deadlift bar on 18”) you realize it’s quite a sham when you can start with knees under the bar for some folks.I thought about doing a Static Monsters near me this Saturday, but I hate 18" deadlifts.

To hell with those short fellas. That’s exactly the circumstance i had playing out in my mind that had me knowing id be real pissed off if i had done the “competition” today.I feel the same.

Just max out on their log!
Hey if you won’t use the equipment, someone else will! That’s just being smart.I think my best ever log, back when I was actually almost strong, was only 220, and it was a split jerk with every piece of competition legal equipment you could possibly wear.
All that to say, 250 is a solid weight.
Keep working the dead and Frontsquat and it will be at 600 in no time.Thanks fellas. Happy i can say one of my lifts is steadily improving. Unsurprisingly it is the one that I have the least training on. Sort of taking these as noob gains of sorts. Would love to hit 265-270 by years end and shoot for 315+ by the end of next year. And Jim, I agree with Hyde. If its legal why the hell wouldnt you use it, and last I checked split jerking was legal so dont use those two things to take anything away from your lift lol. Speaking of which, im thinking about grabbing some double ply elbow sleeves over the holidays to boost the comp 1rm up some more. Cheating is fun.
If only I could just get my conv deadlift back trending towards 600 I could actually consider entering a strongman comp.
It’s alive!!!!Have to go back and read, lots I missed out on. Glad to see you’re progressing still (even if you says it’s a single lift.. progress is progress!)
The triple ply must be newer, and I would indeed go with those. I got their triple ply knee sleeves for funsies a while back, and while I’ve only used them twice it probably gave me 20lbs on my squat, no joke.Been MIA for a minute. Drove all weekend from NM to NH with only about 2.5 hours of **** sleep in the car while Brooke was driving Saturday night. It took a lot out of me and this week was dedicated entirely to surviving the first week of my OB/Gyn rotation. Finally felt like myself again energy wise on Wednesday. Was planning on going to the gym yesterday morning but some personal stuff came up in the morning that I needed to take care of.
Glad to see ya back, Bill!
Hyde, I’ll probably just wait on the Cerberus sale. They seem to make good quality stuff and are a relatively smaller brand so id prefer to support them even if its a tad more. Plus the warehouse is like 90 mins from my apt so the shipping was wicked fast last time. You specifically mentioned double ply, I’m pretty certain they make a triple. Any reason i shouldnt go for those instead? I know it will limit the uses outside of anything 1-2rm but thats really what I want em for anyway. But then i start feeling a tad idiotic spending 40$ on something ill use once a month when I hit circa 1-3rm logs.
Edit: @Skraw, did I ever send you 5th set yet?
Must be but yah they have some red triple plys vs the black double plys. Sounds good, Itd probably be a stretch to get 20 on the elbows but id settle for an extra 10-15. Hit a top set with the 7mm neoprenes then throw the ply sleeves on for some extra overload.The triple ply must be newer, and I would indeed go with those.

Alright, just let me know when you want it lol. The road trip was pretty nice, stopped in Amarillo the first night then picked Brooke up in OKC friday mid-day then she helped me drive the rest of the way through the night essentially non-stop (minus 2 hours at a rest area sleeping in the car) until we got to Cooperstown, NY for the night Saturday. Got back Sunday afternoon and we pretty much just cuddled up on the couch and slept all afternoon until it was time to move to the bed to continue sleeping lol. The trip west was just a vacation from the Northeast really. I still worked 5 days a week during my surgery rotation, but the weekend trips were very enjoyable and did give the whole thing a bit of a vacation like feel.Not yet. But rest up I’m in no rush. Hope your road trip/vacay was enjoyable and a nice little deload from our heavy grind lifestyle. Work and life is pretty hectic for me as well. Trying to find my training groove right now.
I am strong enough to pull ~645 right now but due to Hookgrip issues I will be happy to pull 600 at this comp. 675 ain’t happening any time soon.I cannot decide if i want to continue to train sumo or not. I’m going to the gym here in a bit and am planning on pulling conv for a speed day. I want to train for strongman but i also have this ego thing where i know my potential for pulling more is highest with sumo atm so i am having a hard time dropping it altogether, especially with Hyde and I’s “competition” to 675. Seeing him moving all this wait has me feeling like im fixing to get blown out of the water lol.
See, that had been my previous thoughts on the matter too. But after pulling almost strictly conv for like a year and getting nowhere I got fed up and more recently switched back to sumo. I know that isnt the way to go about it, lol. But mentally i think I just needed a break from it. Speed/DE work with AR is pretty much the only damn thing I havent consistently for my conv pull.I am strong enough to pull ~645 right now but due to Hookgrip issues I will be happy to pull 600 at this comp. 675 ain’t happening any time soon.
I would go conventional for a while. Dan Green pulled 900 w straps beltless in the cage the other year. Now he’s getting ready for a meet sumo again. It will build both longterm.
Good reminder - I THINK thats what I was doing but trying to think back on it I cant 100% say for certain. Being hard AF is a long ways further off for me than just full ROM swiss press lol.If you were doing that incline ng in lieu of log, make sure you are only touching one end of the Swissbar at a 45* to your chest (and not flat all the way down). Remember that the extra circumference of the log means it’s not as deep of a ROM as a Swiss can be.
Unless you just want it to be hard AF
Get those delts POPPING. I could use some more mass over my lateral and rear delts but I’m pretty convinced i dont know how to properly do lateral delt raises as I never seemed to get anything more than a strained trap out of them. Ive tried dbs both one arm at a time and both arms same time, cables, leaning 30 degrees toward the working side with both dbs and cables, probably more contorted positions that I dont even recall right now, lower reps, higher reps. Basically have just said to hell with them unless i have zero time constraints on a weekend and at that point i only do them because theyre on my program and my ocd wants me to finish all the listed exercises so as long as I have the time.What you should always get rid of CGP before side raises!!!
I kid I kid!!! Although I love me some side raises now. I can't wait to see what my shoulders look like when I get leaner. I think I might even have visible medial delts from the front now.
Jordan took this off his channel for some reason but have you tried this?Get those delts POPPING.
