Yeah, I was surprised with a 100 lb. PR also. This was the first time I've done GMs since I did them 5 weeks ago, and 5 weeks ago was the first time I'd done them in about 3 years. B Fold has been doing something right with me I guess . Thanks for the encouragement Night Fly. Oh, on a side note, I also set a new PR on the Super Yoke. I got 530 lbs. for 50 feet. My previous PR with that was 440 for 50 feet. I really like this whole getting stronger thing, .

Addictive, isn't it? Kinda feeds off of itself.

Wow, I want a 100lb PR! Nice work!

Ok, it's been a while since I've posted. I did work out with B Fold on Wednesday though. I did 6 sets of 2 with 249 on box squats with the green and purple bands on the bar. I also worked up to 375 for a single on speed deads while standing on a 4" box. I had a very narrow stance and that felt much better than having a wide stance on the deads. The box squats with 249 was a PR too, so I'm pretty pumped about that. I have 2 weeks to reach my 500 lb. deadlift. It may not happen, but I think my deadlift has definitely gone up nonetheless. Oh, and I had trouble with the lockout on the 375 deadlift. What do I need to do to work on a stronger lockout?

Spatts/Hannibal/Project do something with bands that I think is for helping the lockout for deads. I can't remember what it's called, but I think they "hang" the bar by bands from the top of the cage. It makes the bottom portion of the lift easier but gets harder to closer to lockout you get.

Sorry I don't have more details. Maybe one of them will answer it for you.

Good luck goin' for 5 plates. I hope to hit 4 in a week or two.

I'm thinking that if you started making it to EVERY workout session and not just once a week...your deadlift might go up a bit faster

Reverse band deadlift...great for working the lockout.
