Asylum Numbers

[Hannibal]

Well we just finished up a Speed Strength Phase on dynamic day. Did our first five sets with the recommended percentage (25%), and then worked up to a 1RM with the added band tension still in place.

Hannibal:
5X2 X 133 + choked blue and greens

177X1 + choked blue and greens
221X1 + choked blue and greens
265X1 + choked blue and greens
309X1 + choked blue and greens

Project:
5X2 X 78 + choked blue

89 X 1 + choked blue
133 X 1 + choked blue
177 X 1 + choked blue

Unfortunately, Spatts' shoulder flared up on here again due to the added pressure of the bands. She gave it all she had...the mind was willing the body just wouldn't cooperate. We are going to go back to a reg band phase for the next 3 weeks. In that time hopefully we will continue to rehab her shoulder. And then we will decide whether or not a circa max phase is going to do more harm than good.

Projects knee was bothering him. He made it through his 5 working sets. And then looked strong throughout all his singles. Nice work.

I personally felt really explosive. My works sets were insanely quick. Then working up on the singles felt really good. My back started to wear out however with all the straining trying to rack and unrack the weight. 309 wasn't that bad. Probably had 331 or so in me, but only had one spotter and just wasn't sure of the lift. I REALLY hate to ere on the side of safety, but sometimes you have to.

Bittersweet...

Well it was a good and bad day at the gym today. We all hit PR's, but at a cost.

Reverse Band (Blue) Deadlifts:

Hannibal:
Previous Record: 529
Today..................551 (22lb Pr)

Spatts:
Previous Record: 408
Today..................419 (11lb PR)

Project:
Previous Record: 397
Today..................408 (11lb PR)
http://www.asylum-strength.com/videos/proj408rbdl.mpg

Like I said today was bittersweet in the gym. We all hit PR's.
Project pulled strong today. Like Spatts said the Chain Suspended GM's with the SS Bar seem to carry over well to the conventional deadlift.

I didn't feel particularly strong today, but the 551 went up relatively easily. I tried 573, but it stalled right at my knees and would not budge. That's why there's always next time.

NICE WORK

Excellent PR's guys.... How long has it been since your last Rev Band Dead day? I scanned through the previous pages and apparently missed it... Also, hasn't Spatts been doing an arched back GM instead of the Chain suspended bent over?

 

[TheProject]

It has been a while since we did reverse band deads, but I don't remember exactly how long.

I don't think spatts has done any gm's in over a month.

 

[spatts]

Yeah, I took 4 weeks off of them and changed to sumo too...back was feeling overtrained. Intended to do them yesterday, but hit max strain on the deads.
