2/7/02:

DE Squats:

275 plus greens for 6 sets of 2.

Reverse Green Band deadlifts:

315x1x5, 365x1x2, 405x1x2, 455x1, 495x1, 545x1, 585x1

Felt pretty good - I started the movement with my legs, but it turns to all back pretty damn fast.

That's ok. Dave was reading an article to me about a little guy who pulls close to 900 straight legged, all back - just like me.

Hey AM and DG-

Was just wondering if you guys are doing the 1 or 2 weeks of deloading. The first two weeks of Circa about killed me, but I can tell my body has stepped it up a otch for the last two(not feeeling near as beat in the last half).

DG-are band abductions pulling the knees in or out with bands?


Thanks guys.

VDOP, we are doing two weeks of deloading. Yesterday I droped the green band and just used the blue. I did 425 and blues, and next week I'm doing 350 - 375 and blues, which better be fast. The only max work we have left is using our suits to get close to our openers.

I am still a little hesitant about working up in my suit. I feel totally comfortable in it, so I don't have much of a reason for doing it. The only reason I want to do it, is to work on squatting to the proper depth with no box.

Abduction is moving away from the body. Adduction is moving toward the body.

ME bench -last day of shirt work before meet-

Raw
135
225
275
315
Put on shirt
365
405
455
525
565
600 x 1 (PR)

Pulldowns 5 sets of 12
Front and Side raises 4 sets
Shoulder horn 3 sets - I could only use 10lbs dumbells on these today. My shoulders were fried.

600 felt good and after looking at it on tape, it seemed pretty quick. I'm stoked to get this. Now I just have to do it in the meet.

Heavy Bench Day

Felt like poo at the beginning of this day

95x6
135x4
185x4
225x3
put on shirt
275x1
315x1 with pause
345x1 with pause
365x1 with pause (15lb PR! with pause)

I'm ready for St. Louis. The scale this morning said 216, it gets up to 220 in the day, which is just perfect, because I don't want to cut any weight going into this one. I've gained near 40 pounds in 3 months, and all my lifts feel considerably better. Gaining that weight has been the best thing to happen to my lifts.

I just want to say how proud I am of all my workout partners.

Dave smoked 600 yesterday. Fast, even extension, everything was clean. (75 lbs above what he hit at the last meet.)

Chris hit 365, not easy - but very, very, clean - full pause, even extension - very good. (That's a 90 lbs increase in his bench from the last meet).

Even Phil squatted 315 the other day off the box after not being able to do 135 and light bands just about 2 months ago.

He even hit 255 for a single raw on the bench the other day - good PR for him.

As for me, well, I feel pretty good in the squat and deadlift. I feel like shit in the bench, as my shirt is so small, I couldn't get 450 to get anywhere close to touching with the shirt pulled all the way up. (That was yesterday) - I can hit a clean 365 for the meet with Dave's extremely large Karins.

So I was planning on basically bombing out of the bench - getting only a token 365 lift. However, today I talked to Karin, and she'll have me a double denim v-back - fully open - in 3 days - because she is the coolest.

So although I won't have any experience in the shirt, I should at least have something that fits.

ps - Tonight is my first attempt at full gear squats. Let's cross our fingers.

2/11/03:

FINAL ME SQUAT DAY: Full gear squat (well, no wraps, no ammonia)

Briefs, Suit, and belt.

barx5, 135x3, 185x3, 225x1, (Briefs)275x1, 315x1, (Briefs and suit bottoms)365x1, 405x1, (Briefs + Suit - no parallel)455x1, 500x1 (hit parallel - blew it up), 545 -(briefs+ suit - blew it up fast.)

Well, I am very happy with my squat. I hit 545 easy, and will probably open there (maybe 525?), I think I def have 600 in me.

Look out majorle!

Chris hit 500 easy.

Phil hit 365

Dave went up to 750 for an easy single. - Probably will open at 770.

Look out St. Louis!

Springfield Crew is ready!
