Liftandswim's Log

I don't mind then for accessory movements or variant type stuff, but regardless I would look at it like a different exercise. Like I may do SL TnG. and if I was going to touch and to it would be accessory and treated as such. Part of the reason I am in the habit of writing things like "competition deadlift" if I am gonna pull from dead stops and with a belt.
 
You got it man. Nothing like taking out stress on some weights

Great workout today. Deads were flying (for me). This is what's great about being new to a sport, every day you're finding a way to improve. I'm really starting to find what works for me. I know I need to keep that damn head down though. Working on it.

Rest of the workout was a breeze. Stay strong AM.

7 on a 1's week is awesome. Great work.

That was actually 7 with my training max (shows you how quickly I've improved). With this variant, wendler calls for a final AMRAP set with your TM. Starting week 11 it'll be an AMRAP with my TM + a joker set + additional back off sets. Then week 16-20 is a peaking phase. Should be interesting. Thanks sean!
 
Nice! Don't be afraid to use straps on big rep days. I used to give Country a hard time about that, then I started doing more reps and about tore my hands apart.

Better find a damn meet for week 20, bub.

Edit: technique looks spectacular. Reps looked explosive and smooth. Week 20 you better tug on 475-500

Thanks, herder! And I'm really considering it. At least on heavy sets I know will get 6+ reps.
 
Technique looks great man! Nice job getting 7 with the training max. Got plenty more in ya
 
Real real smooth pulling LnS. It's great having a great workout after a stressful day. Congrats on the big time progress broski
 
As everyone said, looked great.

I lold at the phone moving with each rep. :lol:

Mine usually just falls over. :(
 
When I (rarely) video, I use 2.5# weights to hold the phone upright, whether on the floor for deads or on a bench/stool for bench/squats. I have to hit record prior to locking it in between the two, but that's an easy edit.

Solid workout. Bench is still on the rise, albeit very slowly. Need this week to be over, STAT. Too much stress.
 
Solid lifting there!

Nice looking set up to your workout ma man, and solid benching, too

Thanks rob, feeling strong. Got volume deads and some heavy-ish OHP in a few hours.

It's taking patience for me to stay the course. I just wanna max on deads today lol but I won't
 
Just do me a favor when you do volume deads; pump up the jam, pump it up, pump it up, now pump it.


:D
 
AM poll:

Should I just say screw it and pull 500 today? I'm warming up and feel great. Next week is a deload. And I'm only on week 9 of 20 so not like it'll affect the end results or anything. Answer quick! Lol

Got it. Right after I locked it out my grip failed so I would have got red lighted but this is the gym not competition. I'll post the vid up later. 60lb PR
