Don't feel bad my decent is wrong because I smack the top of my kneecaps and the are generally bruised by the time I leave. I heard those versa grips are nice, only reason I don't use any straps is I have this girly figure and puny forearms...need more beefcake. I should come hang out with you, I'd gain no problem I think

I think I'm gonna give it a few weeks and try for more. At some point your forearms just can't keep up. I go as long as I can without the grips but mid 300 pounds I always need them. I don't want my grip to slow my back gains. Versa grips are insane it's seriously cheating. Thanks man if your ever by stl I'll take you up on that

Haha yea we all have lifts we just don't like, I think bcuz it took me long to get a decent form so I was just uncomfortable going heavy (once my boss and I did a training session and he had me do 50-40-30-20-10 DL with sprints in between sets) after that I hated deadlifts

Oh hell Katie that's crazy! Deadlifting and giant amounts of reps are never a good idea, to easy to get hurt or puke:D Try some nice simple 5x5's for a while then work it into a 3x3.

There it is, lay it on me Albert. Not the best view for a form check but how does it look?

It went up nice:thumb: but I need a side view to ck your form a bit better. The hips thing will happen to most on max effort pulls same with some back rounding, no need to ruin a good PR with form Nazi talk:hug: You look like your pinching a loaf before the video starts:thumb:

Good to hear, haven't had a max mind set in a while I had to get hyped up. Definitely felt good to move that weight. Now my squat needs to hit 4 plates and I'll be happy. Usually back is arched back. didn't feel like I rounded over but definitely felt flat. If i ever feel myself arch over I just stop lol. Cool to weigh 244 and do over double my weight. Only lift I can do that.

Older guy at the gym had me laughing and shaking my head yeaterday. This guy is prob in his late 50s/early 60s & he proceeds to load 2 45s on the bench bar. I'm like "wtf is he doing, trying to die?" He then proceeds to move the weight approximately 6 inches toward his chest then back up. I guess that's his ROM for a rep. :roflmao: He does 10 like this, gets up, grabs 2 25s and loads them up. 185 on the bar now. He unracks, moves the bar up and down a few times then almost drops the weight on himself. I go to help and he says he got it! I said "maybe you should take 100 pounds off and do a full press before you get hurt." He looked right at me and said serious as all hell, "That's not even my max." :spit:
I laughed the whole way home.

No I do pop my hips up first, only after I gash my shin open like I did with the 455 lol. And thanks but I had on my versa grips lol. After I rake my shin a few times I find myself trying to keep the bar off of my legs and end up using my lower back a bit more than I probably should.

Oh yea should have mentioned I pulled my 450 with no wraps. Just a belt

You mean real weightlifters? :rofl:

Adding 10 pounds on snatch for a trained athlete is no joke.
Click to expand...

Ya, I mean you guys/gals count in 2.5-15 pound plates and us dumb powerlifters just hoard all the 45's:stirthepot:

And yes a 10 pound snatch is no joke... You better be on your A game.

A.
10x5 OHP @115, 60 sec rest between sets, but between rounds 1,2,3 and 8,9,10 I did rows: 3x10 wide grip row @135 and 3x10 supinated grip row @135

B.
5 rounds:
10 sandbag to shoulder, 100lbs
200 ft farmer carry, 115 lbs per hand. Got new carry handles. Did not disappoint.
20 KB swings @ 80lbs (that pig has some gravity in her)
200 ft sled pull

Start each movement at the top of the minute. If you didn't finish your work, no rest for you. Less reps sounds like it's easier here, but you had to tear the thing's head off to get anything done, otherwise you sit there, hands on knees, staring at the sand bag for 30 seconds before you know it.

C.
Sleeve tightening accessories:
3x8 kroc row, 75's, Did it at 5111 tempo since grip was gonzo and there wasn't enough chalk in the building to get my act together with anything heavier:joker:
3x8 dips

If I miss a snatch, it's still out front half of the time.

Having said that, I'll chase that thing off the platform to catch it. It may not be three whites at a meet, but it's good enough for the girls I go out with. :roflmao:

Been hitting a lot of volume lately. We will see how strength goes. Current best is 455 DL, 355 Squat, however in the past few weeks I hit 405x5 DL and 275x3 sets of 10 reps squat. I am sore. Always
