Almost got 265

[Scotsman]

So close, just a little more speed and lock out strength and you'll get 285 with that explosion out of the bottom. Keep working and pr'in.

More leg drive would have gotten that up.

Try the bands. They will build up your speed. Make sure to really watch your percentages when doing your dynamic day. Stay in your % range.

i didnt see ur video, but is that all ur chest routine consisted of??? 2 full reps, and a try at 2 maxes??? that wont do much in terms of building muscle or strength--stay away from the maxes for a month--stay around 6-8 reps on say like 225, and go for ur max in like a month--i wouldnt wana see u go down cuz ur not stimulating ur chest muscles enough, or worse get hurt maxing---good luck bro

Mega, I believe that he is training WSB. He is doing a max effort day which is done 2 days a week....one for chest and once for legs. Checkout www.elitefts.com for a more complete understanding of WSB routine.

Actually it's neither. I don't do Westside style workouts, but I do use bands every so often.

That workout - was just a max out one. I didn't show the full thing anyway


The full workout - this is a deloading workout for me
Normally I use more volume
And a lot more complexing and speed/explosive stuff
