A handfull of pr's from the last week

Love the 435 bench press video! Not only do you have a lot more in you...but the guy across the room doing bench at the same time does EVERYTHING WRONG!!! It is like a "here is how to" vs "he is how NOT TO" video...

LOL, thanks man, had a much better day and it showed.

Just an update no pr's so far this week, been a little under the weather. Good news is today I deadlifted with mixed grip and didn't feel like my wrist was going to explode. So at least I have that going for me which is nice.

Did some rep work today and got a couple of pr's. Left shoulder is killing me, I think I slept on it all fucked up or something, but anyway.

Push press 275x8 (reps pr, was planning on 10 but shoulder was giving me too much trouble, 8 was really easy though)

Close grip bench 275x15 (reps pr, hardly ever go over 8 reps so this was a bit taxing)

No vids as I was pressed for time all day and didn't bring the camera.

Bench was a disaster this week, the whole right side of my abs cramped up on my second rep at 405 so I abandoned ship. Did manage to tie my 28rep pr with 225.

Seated ab crunch 290x10
Deadlift 500x3 no belt and no straps this week so a little better than two weeks ago.

That's a lot of reps at 225...never really tried to go over 12 reps...ever...is there a reason why you did so many reps? something I should try out?

It's a burn out set I usually do one every 2-3 weeks. Very taxing on the nervous system and also pumps a tremendous amount of blood into the muscles. It's alos somewhat of an exercise in pain management. Also since some events are for total reps it's good to get used to pushing through rep barriers.

I see. Makes sense.
