2011: Deadlifts, Grip and Presses

LOL. I tried an overhead squat couple workouts ago with 135.

I easily muscle snatched it, then slowly squatted down and lost my balance right around parallel and had to dump the bar.

haha
 
DEADLIFTS - Mesocycle 31 Week 4

So my training has been kinda erratic over the last couple of weeks. Too much work and other commitments. Well, things will settle down.

This past week was pretty crazy....Trained Deadlifts on Saturday. Devraj managed to hit 405x2 which is awesome. Lorelli and Gopi managed to hit Double Progression and I believe Lorelli pulled 215 and Gopi pulled 205x2. As for me...I set a New Base Weight.

On Tuesday Dev and I went for Kaizzad's BB comp. It's the first BB comp I've ever been to and to be honest, I only went for Kaizzad. If Kaizzad wasn't a bb'er I wouldn't give two shits about that entire sport. Kaizzad placed well at 2nd place in his weight class. He's making his bones and I am sure he'll get where he wants to be in the next 10 years.

In other exciting news, my boy Joe from Ground Up Strength successfully graduated to Purple Belt in his Krav Maga training. Fuckin' BADASS to say the LEAST!!!!! Check out his log here: Joe Weir Strength Journal: Training for Martial Arts - Ground Up Strength

Way to commit to your training amigo.

When you're really tired sometimes you need a day off. Sometimes you need to just go half throttle. Sometimes you just go hard period.

Keep on keepin on. Your lifts are steadily improving as time goes by man.

Beast mode coming.
