Excellent work on the 495 DL, is that a PR?

Hey, what happened to the “Race to 500 DL” thread?[/quote]

i pulled a 500 at my last meet, and a 505 last month, so i’m slacking a little

don’t recall seeing that thread

Finally, a decent shoulder session:

Squat:
135 x 5
170 x 5
210 x 5
255 x 5

Z Press:
45 x 10
70 x 5
90 x 5
105 x 5
145 x 3
155 x 3
165 x 3

Bradford Press (in the Z press position):
70 x 20 x 2
70 x 14
70 x 12

Arnold’s:
45 x 10 x 5

Had to look up Z presses, a lot of shoulder volume, no wonder you have boulder shoulders!

Squat:

70 x 5
135 x 5
170 x 5
210 x 5
255 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5
340 x 5
360 x 10

You make that weight look so easy. Very envious. I broke down and ordered a pair of Rogue Do-Wins last night. If they do not instantly increase my squat and DL, I blame you!

Nice pulling and good squating

lots of volume too.

nice work

the 500 dl thread just kind of ran out of steam

so, to recap last week:

  • revival at church
  • fall break for the kid that cannot drive
  • allergies causing exertion headaches like i’ve never had before…

last week was a bust; let’s start over:

Squat:

135 x 5
170 x 5
210 x 5
255 x 5
315 x 5
340 x 5
360 x 5

i had more left in the legs and back on the 360, but pressure was building in me noggin. i’ve been netti-pottin’ like a danged fool, but may have to turn to science.

Was wondering where you went. Yes allergies have been horrible this week, hope the cold weather coming tonight will clear it out.

my exertion headaches were solved at the chiro. just a thought

That is some fine squatting.

335 x 5

(80 x 5) x 5

This week’s shout-outs:
1 - Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, I love so much I want to take you out behind the middle school and get you pregnant. That Advil Congestion Relief is awesome stuff

2 - Lil Power, thanks for keep-the-elbows-in tip from my last bench video. Doing that also activated my lats and gave me that pull-the-bar-apart motion that Tate talks about

3 - Anthony Mychal, that Dumbbell floor press article Thursday was on time; I’ve been looking for something that hits my chest and triceps w/o killing my shoulders. Thanks.

I made a shout out ! cool…now when you come over again and we can hand out to you…you will be pressing over 400!
