Rob112^3...That means cubed guys. See what I did?

Good day and congrats. The sports about improving and you had a nice solid meet PR today and no doubt left a little on the table. Good work man!
 
I don't know why this thing isn't letting me multi quote. Thanks for all the support guys. I really appreciate it. JimBuick, I don't get enough front views to tell for sure, but I like to think I am closer. I always use the rings to line up and this was a different bar...but nice call. If you ever decide to powerlift again Im sure you could do a better total ;) Wrivest, this is my third meet. This is the year anniversary. This time a year ago I finished with 935. Now I have a 1105.

As for notes...I will say I peaked too soon. I tripled 250 on bench like 6 weeks ago, hit 400 easier on squat, and 455 dead was pretty easy...but that one I will say is likely fatigue. I was rushed first attempt and only got it bc I picked right(squat). On bench, I don't think I feel heavier weights enough, and that is bc I don't manage my stress very well. If my elbow is beat up I can't go heavy, if I leave it beat up too much I go too long without feeling weights. It was not a factor on my miss. That was all just me not being used to it(I think).

Overall I am happy bc I am stronger than last meet even on a day that I wasn't at my 100% best. I look forward to planning my training better and beating all of these numbers next time.

Thanks again guys!

EDIT: one last thing, I am actually proud of myself for making that 3rd squat after missing it. That takes....moxy I think the work is. I am also very lucky that my wife was willing to do this 12 hour day with me haha okay Im done.

Lol, right now I'm not certain I will ever even squat or deadlift again!
 
Sick 1 year progress man. Solid videos too....hitting that third squat had to take some guts after that miss.

Get that back better man! Go to a chiro and start light. That's what I did when I ****ed up last September. I started 5/3/1 with a max like 100lbs under my actual.

Lol, I can't even get down to the bar right now. Hell, 85# rows has my back messed up for the last 3 days.

Well...start really really slow and seek out some help when you get a chance. That's rough though Jim; get better man.
 
GREAT day, bud! Not a perfect day, but definitely a great one. 55lbs in PRs over a 9/9 day is pretty amazing.
 
Yeah and fast too big guy.
I would guess you were a bit gassed too, since you looked good for quite a bit more right there.

Yea that's what I thought. I was kinda surprised I missed, but I was beat. Got there at 8 and deads happened around 5:30
 
Your did a great job rob in all your vids those attempts looked very fast and smooth

Yea I probably should have went for some lighter 3rds based off of how the day was going. Although my beat up body is still surprised I didn't get that 3rd pull.

I'm learning! Haha your turn nao lol
 
Like I said about how your weights moved I think u had 12 too

I think the gym just allows me to push a bit hard then I normaly would by myself but I'm gaining confidence in myself weekly

I like how you didn't deny the horse radish/chest hair part :D
 
Deadlift a mature bluefin Tuna LOL

I bench a mature harbor seal

Squat a manatee
 
I am sore as a mother ****er today boys and boys

I heard that, chief! I had the weirdest sore spots. Pecs and bi's from my third deadlift, adductors from benching, traps, neck, spine, everything. Headache all day, too. Much different from a 9/9 day after, wouldn't you say, buddy?

Yea man, my freaking forearm started throbbing and bending about 5 degrees has me bracing my core bc my PC is shot.

I guess failing attempts sucks worse than getting them bc I am wrecked!
 
Liked it on Instagram, great work Rob.

That's a PL fave of mine. One day, 450lb deadlift. Next day, can't support the weight of your torso. And being wrecked is definitely my #1 reason to not miss weights.
 
Squats
SSB to a box at parallel(beltless)
90 x 5
140 x 5
160 x 5
180 x 5
200 x 5@8, 8.5, 8.5, 9

SSB pause/dynamic squat(beltless)
160+70ish lbs chain at top, maybe 20 at bottom
Took 7 sets to get to a 9.5 RPE
If you watch this you can see why I didn't gauge RPE's up bc I had to go by effort, not reps left. Also, very short rest, like 30 seconds tops
Invalid Link Removed

A. BSS + 40lbs chain x 8 each leg
B. GHR bw x 10
C. 8 tire flips 300-350lb tire(forget)
Did this 3 times through

Done...IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!
 
Good shït Rob! Does having a shirt that long bother you when you squat? I noticed it was getting tight around ur arse. (Zero way to say that and not sound ghey...so I just went for it)

Haha didn't even notice man
 
Good speed on the squats

That was set 2 I believe...it felt a little harder than it looked. My body was all creaky haha

Those I got from Jessie Burdick and thy are definitely a cool change of pace in speed/volume work
 
Great squats! Looked nice & fast! Yeah I like how sometimes under the bar it feels like torture & everything must be all out of whack, but look at the vid & stuff looks alright -

Luckily this was after like 70 reputations so I was in some what of a groove, but it did take some time to get comfortable lol
