Training at Eastside Gym in Tulsa Second Week of Jan????

[AnimalMass1]

Hey Guys,

We were wondering about coming out and training at Eastside Gym with you all for a ME Squat or DE squat session. (Maybe Me day, and we can do rack pulls or something and then play with strongman stuff.)

The second week of January would be optimal, really anywhere from the 6th-11th. Any weekday would be just as good as Saturday for me, but the 11th might be easier for everybody else.

Anyway, let's get something set up!


(Also, Dave how does the 6th look for me coming up? I guess I could also do Monday, the 30th. If we did ME Squat day on Monday, and we squatted, and then on Saturday at Eastside, we could pull - I think we could handle that. What do you think?) - I'm really impartial. And hell, after working bench next week, if my tendonitis has healed up, I could come up on a ME bench day in KC instead. Then all would be solved.)

I think I may have guests....if not I'd love to come. Hopefully project and hannibal will join me.

I'd love to get together and train in Tulsa. I start my Circa Max phase on the 10th, but if we were going to be in Tulsa on the 11th, I could start it then. If we do it earlier in the week, I'd be down for some ME stuff.

Rack pulls just happen to be my least favorite thing ever, but if that's what we're doing it's all good.

Matt, Jan 6th looks good to me. If your arms heal and you want to come up and train on a bench day that's cool too. Just let me know.

Sounds like a good plan to me-Keep me informed.

I do my D.E. squats every saturday at Eastside, so any saturday would be fine with me. Just let me know when everyone plans to be here.

I have guests the weekend of the 3rd, but the 11th works great for me...and DE squats sound great. I think we start circa max that weekend too.

OK - the 11th it is then!


DE Squat Day, Speed Pulls (which will turn into a competition), and playing around with strongman stuff

Sounds like my kind of day...

Some thoughts on training...

For those of you (which are all of us from the Springfield Crew) who plan on running a circa-maximal phase going into the February meet in St. Louis, the 11th WILL be week one of that phase.

So we all need to do a little planning before we training together on DE Squats that day.

Week One of CircaMax (if you go by the guidlines) is 47% + CM Band. Typically I could care less what we do for weight, but I know the majority of us stay pretty strict with this cycle.

So we kinda need to figure out where everyone will be, and what bands and weight to use.

I will use 275 or so and blues+pinks.
Chris will use 225 plus blues+pinks. (Not quite a 500 squatter, but should be at St. Louis so we give him the benefit of the doubt
)
I think Dave will use around 405 plus blues+greens (Dave will have to verify this though.)

Not sure what the rest of you use. I believe you all (Okie, VDOP, Benchmonster, Screwball, and Hannibal) all squat in the 550-650 range? - So the 5 of us should be able to all squat together, and just add or take away a few pounds here or there.

Anyway, I just couldn't be more bored, so I thought I would throw something at everyone to think about.

Yo Matt, I plan on using 370 with blue and greens. If this ends up being too light, I'll just add weight from there.
