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

At least 240-245, man. You nailed those two 525s.

Descent on bench has been feeling pretty rough lately on my left bicep/shoulder, thanks to all the swimming. The press on 265 felt easier than the descent and pause, which is usually the exact opposite. Didn't go for 285 like planned today.

Last heavy day today, begin deload. Skipping swimming on Wednesday and see if I can get a massage in before the meet to alleviate some of these nagging things.

I was being conservative, but that number you mentioned kept creeping into my head. I was taking into consideration the first two attempts. I think 250 is yours for the taking.
 
201? I dunno lol.

Just had my last meal and 25oz of arnold palmer at 6pm, I should be 199-200 going to bed. If I'm not, I'll be up early anyways to spit and sweat.

Have to setup weigh-ins and everything for the meet tomorrow, handle 4 lifters, then compete, lawdy lawd.

I hope you wake up under 200 for sure. Good luck man.

USPA, my powerlifting club is hosting the meet, so I got work to do, plus handle some of my 15 lifters.

Should be fine, I'm not worried.

Is Brandon Lilly judging?

Don't think he's even a judge or why he'd be there.

Dan Green will be in attendance with a few of his lifters.

198 weigh-in on the dot.

Saw him post on FB about judging a USPA meet, that's why I asked.

Congrats on the weighin

He say the Spartan Open?

Didn't think he was a USPA judge, maybe I'm wrong.

Wasn't worried, I was holding a piss too. Didn't take depletion seriously either, I ate at 6pm and drank 25oz tea too.

I've been going by a recent Lilly video where he said he won't cut unless he is gonna break a record of something. He said some thing like "I'd rather lift the most weight I possibly could as opposed to the most I could at this weight."

I'm gonna go get my ass kicked in the 220's in December. Granted if I thought I could win the 198's I'd drop(maybe).

I ramble. Kick ass at your comp man. I look forward to seeing how you make out.

Thanks man.

181 was the original plan since there was more competition down there, but I had the same exact thought; I won't break any records and I rather put up a big total.
 
473/501/551 all good, 1 red each on depth.

Went 264/286xx on bench, zero lockout and erector cramps.

540/584/617 smoked em all.

Thanks guise, wish I had performed on the bench and the deadlift makes me realize I need to train on the meet bars more often to get a feeling for it, I wasted an attempt on my opener. Could have gone 585/617/639...

Not sure how you got a red light for depth on that third attempt but...
Made everything look easy except for the bench. Great fcuking job! You're strong.
 
Well, your arms are crazy long and you've got nothing but time to figure out what's gonna work for you. I really frickin like that singlet, too. The high-cut back makes your back look all jacked. The jacked-ness of your back also probably helps with that, maybe a little.

EDIT: I see the judging was strict again, too. How your first two squats got any reds is beyond me. Pause was a little more reasonable though, lol.
 
I agree with Herder on the squats and the bench being a little less strict.

I remember your last comp was like a solid 3 second pause lol

Awesome work man!

I got a red on one side each attempt, which I admit is fine bc I cut it pretty close, would need to see a perfect side view to argue it.

Thanks bro, I try.

I was just watching a video where Dan talked about wide grip pauses for power off the bottom. How far out do you go from competition grip?

This well become my competition grip I am hoping, I went as wide as it took to keep my forearms vertical off the chest, which is 3-4" wider than my normal grip.

I have great speed off the chest, just need more lockout.

I plan to keep this grip and cycle between top-end lifts like floor press, reverse band, and slingshot. I'll warm up full ROM pause bench each time to 225, do AMRAP without failing, then add in the extra resistance.

90lbs weighted pull ups? C'mon man. Making us look bad. You could probably save some energy in swim class if you just flared your lats and kicked your legs like a damn manta ray.
 
Dan green online training, worth it?

I figure if anyone would know it would be you lol. Wonder what he charges (probably a boatload lol)
