Well to be fair they're trained for different purposes, and you're correct, DF recruits heavily from Rangers and SF.

Nice job with those squats btw!

Nice job on the bench.

great work on bench and squats bro- you could only manage 275x3 in your last vid... you think 275x5 was cuz of the belt?

If i were you, I would consider lowering the weight with rows to help your left arm get up to your right arm. I did the same, and now my right arm is just as strong, if not stronger than my left arm.

275x3 wasnt my max though...it was just what I was shooting for at the time. And actually with 275x3 I had on my own weightlifting belt, for 275x3 I used this shrimpy little belt they have at the gym. The thing is though 275x5 is my true max right now, I had to push really hard to get those reps and I took a good amount of rest between each rep.

Thanks I apprecaite the advice about the db rows! How has lifting been going for you jdid?

lol, i misplaced my belt once and had to do squats without it... i asked the front desk if they had one i could borrow and when i saw what they had i said nevermind...
with your normal belt dont be suprised if you would have had 2 more reps in you...

nice benching... hopefully i can get close to that by the end of the year... damn my long arms... i guess it helps my deadlift though...

Yeah I actually havent used my belt in forever I just started using it these last two workouts. I definitely like it better than without...it just feels safer and secure. Thanks I got long arms too but they definitely help on the deadlift

Wednesday 1/5/10

Bench
235x5
255x2 PR (technical)

Weighted pushups
45x5
90x5
135x3
180x2 PR

Burpees
50 in 2:58 PR

Comments: Just an all around fantastic workout! Strength was great on bench, I've never done 255 for more than 1 rep and I did it for 2 after doing 235x5. Weighted pushups I actually felt a little weak on after not doing them for a while and doing bench before, but still managed 4 plates for 2 reps. Burpees was a huge pr, I was doing them with a buddy so maybe that helped. Last time I did them I got 3:26 for 50......

I didnt do squats and db row today because even though I was behind a workout and this is technically my 1st of the week I already got 275x5 and 100x15 for squat and db row respectively

EDIT: also, according the to 1 rm calculator I'm probably back at a 275 max! This was my old estimated strength at best so I'm very happy.

BW was 189 too with shoes
