Do they even lift? NomZ and Rhadam train to compete with SNS!

Thanks guys, appreciate the support.


Annotations should be on the video depending how you view it.

Best lifts were 535/331/612 for a 1477 total at 205lbs.

Thanks, I didn't do as well as I was hoping but I placed 12th of 37 overall, and had the fifth best deadlift.
 
Got some wheels there, boss! Great total. Was this USAPL? Those guys take their sweet time on the bench press.
 
I thought it was just me bc I have not competed yet lol I hope I dont have to pause that long or I'm gonna cry. Man tears of course.


Lol

No, no. My benches at the meet were a shorter pause than what my brother called for. For my unsanctioned meet, they called press as soon as the bar touched, but I didn't anticipate for fear of looking like a jackass.

Good bc my bench is weak, and I still have some technical flaws. I'm just going to get on the board and have some fun, then build from there.

good job man. impressive pull. singly ply or multi?
Click to expand...
Single, USAPL is only single ply and raw.
herderdude: Ha, thanks man. The suit makes the wheels look big.

Yes, USAPL, and yes, very long commands. It was nationals as well, so very strict, I saw many people bomb out.

Long commands don't affect me as I have so much strength off the chest, and I train up to 5second pauses in training.
rob: let me know if you want any feedback or critiques on lifts.

Anyone who has a journal here or just wants feedback, I'm glad to post or help, just let me know.
 
Absolutely! I just started a four week training cycle for a strongman comp, and I have my first full power meet two weeks after that comp. I plan on taking openers and possibly second attempts in the week after the strongman event and just going in and having some fun. I'm beginning to dabble in gear and may do a geared meet whenever I have enough experience in the stuff.

Here's my log:

Going raw now or just in recovery mode?

Want to do a raw meet unless a buddy wants to do single ply with me, and then I'll cycle that back into it my training.

Squats feel super weak in the hole, deadlifts are normal, and bench is stronger. Yes and no...

Looks like I'm still weak as hell from the meet, had to take 2 breaks to finish the rep set. Erectors right at the base feel like **** during and after. Oh well.

DB Shrug

So pumpeddddd. Caff free FXT is a nice addition to Condense, flavor is watermelon punch and got the tunnel vision focus.


Skipped the prescribed x4x25 band press down to save my elbows.
 
Cool to see you're on the Cube also, as your log is always detailed. I'm a couple weeks in on my second cycle of it.
 
I swear, the accessory lift on the Cube is always harder. I kept that in as I switched up my training, because it works.

All sets were done pretty fast with little rest, just switching the weight back and forth for each other and helping another buddy. Wasn't that bad today, everything after the reverse band squats was light.
 
Yeah I'm liking the cube. It's my first powerlifting specific program.

DE squats...bleh..my bar speed sucks with them

Fuuuuuu. Hard workout, fasted cutting wasn't helping the cause and I missed reps on a few accessory sets bc my tris were gassed. Might start some intra workout carbs. Pump was super strong, biggest I've seen my tris in a while.
 
Holy reps, Batman! That pump had to be outrageous.
 
Screw Lilly's 20 rep DB press. I did it the other day. There's a video of him repping 80s out like 50 times or something stupid lol

@Invalid Link Removed, doesn't help I did them neutral grip as well.
@Invalid Link Removed, yessir.
 
I'm telling you, rep squats are the devil.

I assume you know I'm doing 5 set of 2 reps, some people do the opposite. Rep week will be 310x8 next week, plus accessory.

I am not used to this level of reps, so it will do wonders for my strength endurance and conditioning.

Yeah, I do the opposite. Now I see what you're saying. Five sets of two is also harsh.

Someone mentioned on the Cube FB group, and Lilly agreed, to do reps when working up to that final set. Usually the weight before my final set I will rep for 8, or I just rep that 310x8x2

Ya, I do 8 reps on all the warm up sets, so I'll probably do 225x8, 275x8 before.
 
No way! RepsxSets all day!
