Sean's Powerlifting Journey

rob112 said:
I stopped reading there. Why take advice from colossus? Lol Makes sense on his ability to hold that bench. Sean, do you know his totals?

He has no total. He's not a powerlifter. He's just a big dude that benches big so someone threw him into a bench only meet and he took the world record, pretty much

Wow. I was just trying to look it up. Apparently he is a pro arm wrestler too. Craziness.
 
I would never arm wrestle Eric, lmao.
 
Arm wrestling isn't very smart. All that pressure to the RC is bad news.

There was a pro bodybuilder who tore his RC- arm wrestling a few Weeks out from a show.

Can't remember the name. But moral of the story don't do it.
 
Victor Martinez broke his arm in 2 places arm wrestling last year. It doesn't take much. I was out of training for 5 months because of an arm wrestling injury. Damn arm has never been the same since.
 
Benching 700+ may or may not be smart for RC health, either, but he does it! Lol

He appears to devote a good deal of energy into prehabbing his RC, at least judging by how it's explicitly laid out in his workout plan. Hell, even I log my warmups but don't log my RC work.

I like how you write reps and sets now. ;)


PS you think this looks solid for depth?? I suck at the pausing my youtube videos and snapping a good pic, but you always do it and I gave it a shot. My all black attire makes it difficult for my eyes to judge. :(

Not USAPL depth, but it would pass in most feds.

Hip crease below the knee, right? Looks deep enough to me.

It drive me crazy writing sets x reps that whole last cycle lol

Where I'm imagining your hip crease, I'd say you're a couple inches below parallel. Lookin solid bud.
 
I think it looks good too. Looks like your leg is angled downward putting the crease below the knee.


That's a lot of pulling Sean. Bet your gonna feel good tomorrow haha

I'd white light it.
 
But I mean, when you're describing your workout to someone, you don't say I did a 505 deadlift for 8 reps for 4 sets, right? You say for 4 sets of 8. It's short and quick!
 
Thanks guys, I can't trust anyone I lift with because none of them compete. Just getting that little bit of nervousness 2 weeks out. :D

AHAHAHA...!
Well here's a kick for you kiddo. You are lifting quite a bit more than I was at your age, so, you do the mafff....!

10% inspiration 90% perspiration, but of course big deads are as mental, or, as one dude I know puts it.
Deadlift voodoo


BTW, (no authority but) I thought that squat looked as deep as 80%+ of the ones passed I have seen.

You're below parallel (hip crease bellow knee) so good.
 
I tried to rep everyone who gave feedback on the pic............but I apparently have given out too much so I didn't get to everyone. :sad:
 
Sets x reps...
 
How'd you like that Cube Boss work? It's funny, heavy day is the easy day on pulls.
 
Weight x reps x sets.

Anything else is anarchy, in support of Obamacare, and against freedom, bacon, puppies and boobies.

Period.

Never thought about it that way...Interdasting

I don't describe it that way, but I'm old and weird.

I'll say "I pulled 500 for 2 reps, 3 sets."

Because I'm weird.

It's queen, to make a funny.
 
I always get confused with that too. But if you think about it you have the weight, then how many time you did it (reps) makes sense to follow next. The third number is just if you do multiple sets of the same number of reps. Which hardly ever happens to me.
 
Sean1332 said:
I liked it man. I'm not looking forward to hittin reps again lol

I need to bust out the scale so I can figure out band tension on pulls
Click to expand...

You feel like you need bands? I just up the weight on my block pulls. I rotate the blocks, too. I found out I'm pretty good at 4" up, but I suck 6" up. So 6 it is.

Nope. They were just there and easier to put on than kickin the crap out of those collars, and I just felt like it. I'll up the weight here on out like I have in the past most likely. I like chains better than bands anyways. That was my 3rd time ever using bands.

I've always sucked off the blocks conventional anyways. Sumo, was better.

I gotta say, my hips feel great. Conventional may be sticking around for good.....until I change my mind
 
Now that you're squatting pretty wide, it might behoove you to pull conventional. I mean, you did pull 525 conventional in a meet. It's not like you suck at it.
 
You can always switch back to sumo leading to a meet if you're stronger that way. That's how Coan says he did it.

Right, and I've never pulled over 500 sumo. Conventional will stick. Squat is what I truelly care about, and sumo began to effect my squat mobility and gave me a nasty impingment.

I don't plan on going too much wider with squat. I feel pretty comfortable where I'm at. I just want to be able to drive my knees out harder like I used to, before sumo ruined that.

I've eatin like a boss today. I felt great during my session because of it. Prowler tomorrow with side bends and cable rotations.

I like that. I'll see where I'm at around week 6. Maybe I'll even give Coans stance a try. His narrow stance sumo frog leg whatever.

I also received some advice from a guy at my gym. He says he knows people that actually practice cutting weight so that way they know what to do come meet week. He said if I want to do it again, do it at the end of this lifting cycle. That way I won't be stressed, I can tweak and experiment with it, and won't be as worried come meet week.
