Handle it!
Do it man! You’re strong as fark and would do well!
I got a matter that needs resolved before i can commit. Then its just a matter of finding the closest one and preparing.
Any timeline on that matter?
Not really. I got court on the 12th but thats far from when its going resolve the matter
****. Well, the bright side is you just get to keep getting stronger before you even start prepping for a meet lol!
Just walk into the courtroom look over at the DA, and yell "HE'S GOT A BOMB", as he opens his briefcase. And then run like hell. Everything will turn out fine
Thats a good one too
I had thirds too. It was homemade ice cream cake. Delicious!
Well most court date are about a month and a half apart. Shouldn't interfere too much.
Yeah theres just never anyone at the gym when i go and dont have any friends that lift lol when there is someone there i always ask for a handoff when trying for a PR
turning into a beast!
Yep lol when im going real heavy ill ask one of them for a spot and a hand off. I make sure to tell them though dont touch the bar unless it starts going back down. Cause when they spot each other the spotter always has a full grip on the bar
Yeah this is a serious problem among younger guys. Some older less mature guys as well... I remember learning some humility in the 9th grade because my training group had me thinking I could bench 265 for 3 reps then I go to the high school meet and could barely get 225 up for one rep!!! I had been hitting 225x5 in training the whole time being told "It's all you man! You got this!" all the while they were lifting a good portion for me. I was literally pissed off and embarrassed because I really thought I could do 265 and then barely got my opener @ 225...
Those young guys at my gym scare me, bopping around just flailing the weights...
Thanks man, more to come. I plan on hitting 405 bench this year along with 500 squat and 600 deadThose young guys at my gym scare me, bopping around just flailing the weights...
Congrats on all your recent success, Chris!
What’s your best recent pull?
555
That was a really tough jump for me but you are closest to that goal so it seems very doable. 405-500 on squat - now that took more than learning to squat and getting to 405! lol But everyone advances differently. Stay healthy and hungry and it will come!
Yeah ever since i hit 405 both times progress came real slow on squat. Deadlift gets slow for me after 500 but its been progressing steadily so im hoping for 600 this year
DB work really helps my BB incline. Hex presses are a godsend.
For me, there is only one thing to build my incline bench - doing heavy incline bench. I just have to grind through a couple strength waves for a good 8 weeks at a time. This does pay out on overhead pressing and seems to help flat bench from a muscle perspective.
Have to agree with the Hex Presses! When you have a bad shoulder and can't do any presses with a straight bar.
Yeah that was my problem. I could never touch bar to chest cause it hurt my shoulder. After a while of doing incline db press i came back to incline bb and can go heavier than usual and touch the bar to chest. Stoked
Deads off plates helped me tremendously
The weight up on plates like a block pull or standing on the plates for deficit deads?
Deficits built mine up. Where do you slow down with the weight that is more important for your progress. Is it harder to break from the floor, or to get it past your knees and get your hips pushed through? If breaking the floor deficits will probably help more. If the upper half of the lift then block or rack pulls are a great way to strengthen those sticking points.
Its usually getting above the knees. I dont really fail that often on deads but when i do thats where it is
If it moves good to just above knees and then you battle, it could be poor positioning - that was my issue for a long time. If you start in a crappy position you will end in one.
I found if I could get it 4 inches off the ground I could almost always finish the lift. Getting my wedge in tighter allowed me to get more power off of the ground and kept the bar closer to my body which helps with leverage too as you already know.
Yup
Alright ill start working more on deficit deads. Actually alot of my work pulled from 1" deficit cause of this mat i stand on. But not when im going for PR's.
