Asylum Numbers

[Hannibal]

Yeah, Hannibal bought the cut-rate plates that were missing a pound or two, so we have to do math all the time.

The upshot is, he has it all memorized, so we just let him deal with it.

Thanks btw...for the record, I got 309 for 2, then 320 for 1, then 331 for 1. After 309 beat me twice, I was glad to get under there and nail it.

Hey, cut-rate plates will make you just as strong.

And you are right, though...don't know why we have the boards. I carry around all those numbers in my head. I wasn't out there when you did the 331, and I thought you said you got a double. That's what next time is for.

i hardly ever do these close grip lockouts. the position is very strange to me. i have done them off the pins or at least tried to do them, but each time it just feels wrong. i presume i could be doing something wrong. it's just not a movement we do very often if at all.

FEELIN STUPID...I KNOW I AM

Well it was a good/bad day at the Asylum. We were doing Chain Suspended SS Bar GM's. No previous records.

Chain Suspended SS Bar GM's.

Hannibal:
Today............351 X 2

Project
Today............351 X 1

Unfortunately, Spatts back was FUBAR after the first or second warm up set. So she was not able to continue. We have to figure a way to fix it.

Project and I had a very good Death Match. It took everything I had to get one more rep than him. I tried 373, 3 or 4 times...but could not get it to budge. I feel like that bar was going to cut my head off. But it was a GREAT Battle.

NICE WORK

Yeah...I was laid out on my back on the gym floor...about to hyperventilate...looked up at Project and said "put some more weight on the f/n bar."

Earlier I had asked him if he was going again...and without blinking an eye he said,"I'm going till I can't go any more."

That's the way ME Day should be. Without pushing one another, we both would have topped out around 300 probably.

thats pretty damn intense.

how high was the bar to start. also did you fix the problem of the bar putting alot of pressure on your neck.

The bar was suspended at 36"

And I emailed Bob Youngs about the bar position. He says there really is no way around it. The only thing you can do is try to get your head up as fast as possible so it doesn't put pressure on the vertebrae. It was ALOT better today. Was still a little sore from Sunday...went a little crazy on Seated Power Cleans...so the GM's were NOT comfortable.

Tonight was a hell of a lot of fun for me, at least. I've not been able to get into a serious death match with Hannibal to this point, and I enjoyed the competition.

After I got 221, we threw more weight on, and I think my comment was, "what the hell, I'm feeling stupid." I think I heard a ,"f***, I've got to go again" come out of Hannibal at one point.

I broke 373 loose, and I swear I was about to pass out. Spatts sat there watching us go back and forth, and I can't imagine what it must've looked like to her.

Yeah...that was when I was half passed out on the floor. There was NO WAY I was going to let you beat me. They would have had to drag me out of there on a stretcher before I gave up.

Thats what competition is all about...gotta love it.
