WSB? How to form a routine after the basic routine.

Have you since?

No. I totalled 1050 in my last comp, but that didn't include my squats because I couldn't finish those (kidneys). I needed 1053.

"but that didn't include my squats"

a 1050 without squats? or just your opener? sorry, confused...

 

[spatts]

Sorry, just the opener. The 350 opener. My second attempt was 400, thrid would've been 425. Kidneys weren't gonna have any part of it. I'll get it next time.

Damn Spatts.

Very nice. My maxes are bench 370, squat 435, dead 425. So a meesly 1230 is nothing to compete with.

Impressive Spatts. Haha you'd freak everyone at my gym out if you came by and maxed out and I bet you 20 bucks some people would never come to train there again.

Real quick question regarding this. Are you guys saying that once in a while, on DE day after your main DE move(bench or box squats), that you should attempt something like a 1RM to see where you fail, thus knowing your weak point and nailing it in the following weeks? Or did you mean something else?

That would make me sad. <---see?

I'd prefer them to train with me...to see how much damn fun I have.

So far my best comp lifts are a 365 squat, 270 bench, 430 deadlift. Tamara Grimwood, God rest her soul, set the records in my weight class back in 1995 with a 620 squat, 400 Bench, and a 550 Deadlift for a TOTAL of 1540. I've got plenty of work to do.

*BTW, her 1540 total in the 181's is higher then the IPA records for the 198 and SHW classes too. She was phenomenal.

Leatherface, yes, that's what they're saying.

You should NOT fail on DE day. If you fail on DE then you have basically turned it into a ME day, and thats a good way to burn out. When you work up...just add some weight and see how it goes. Like on Box Squats...if you add a plate and your back starts to round then you know you need to bring your erectors up.
