Great training BD. My lower half is tight as hell. Just something that comes with age and a sit down job. Pre-workout stretching seems to make me feel worse. I just do some dynamic stuff.[/quote]

tell me about it. yeah its been a few weeks since Ive done alot of multi rep sets on squats with any type of heavier weight. Not to mention that I havent squated in almost 10 days.


Deadlifts

ive been looking over my Logs since ive gotten back into full trainning and spotted a few trends in regards to improving the Deadlifts.

  1. Max effert 90 % plus , Ive adress this in regards using 5/3/1 . Submaximal weight just doesnt work for me. It might just be a mental thing . But I feel once I start doing over 5 reps my form just starts breaking down and leads to bad habbits.

  2. Deadlift variations such as Regular deads,deficient deads,Rack pulls from varoous heights rotated every 1 - 3 weeks.

  3. pulling heavy every other week. Obvious at a older age doing Max effert range pulls on deads every week doesnt allow for my system to recover.

  4. Speed pulls. Done at the 60 % range.

Just figured Id share with my fellow forum Members.

DUMB ASS MOM!!!

I feel the need to rant. Yesterday my wife came home and told me something that made me say ,WTF!!! Heres the deal the current Varsity Wrestling coach is going to allow 5 th graders to wrestler for yhe Jr. High program. The main reason for this is to fill certain weight classes so that the team doesnt have to take a forfite. I understand the reason but to be honest I see alot of 5 th graders getting there butts handed to them by upper classmen. My wife was dealing with one of the Football parents whoes son is a fifth grader. She( the other mom) was bragging how her boy was asked to wrestler and is going to be a stand out as a 5th grader. For the record her son is twelve and has been held back on two different times. She asked my wife what weight class are oldest wrestled at. Then this women proceded to tell my wife" No hard feeling" if her son has to wrestler are son ( while she had a smirk on here face). As if her son was some Elite athlete, which he isnt. I understand wanting to take prde in ones child ,BUT!!! First off the comment was classless and rude !I would never suggest to another parent that my child was beter then theres!!! UNTIL NOW!!! Second she came across just ignorinte having no clue what my son has achived. Since we tend not to go out of are way to brag about him. (Only when I do it here)Lets see. My son holds several school records his first year in Jr.High. He placed third in State his first year doing freestyle wrestling in his division.Me and my wife have been approch by coaches and a former state champion that they wouldnt be surprised to see my oldest at State as a Freshman. Not to mention my son has die before he quits mind set on the Mat. Christ the little Bastard got a tooth ripped out last year at a Meet and still beat a kid.Not to mention Hes stronger and has put on more lean meat on his frame.Three cheers for puberty. So needless to say this Mom is a idiot. Normaly my wife tends to be more classy then me. Id would have told her to get Fuck.But the my wife did step out of charicture and told her ." Dont you mean no hard fellings on your part" .OH SNAP :slight_smile: Lets just say it will be real interesting. Since I took the remark personal. Me being the asshole that I am ,I mention it to my Son.Lets just say he had a smile on his face and was drooling like a preditor going after prey. I sould be ashammed of myself! But in this case im not.


son getting job done last year


and again

Bulldog, it’s tough to know what to say to someone when they are completely classless. I can understand your anger and why you’d be seething about it for a while. Just smile, take a deep breath and let the proof be in the pudding when, and if, they are ever matched together.

The thing is after coaching for so long at the youth level you take it with a grain salt.Every parent get this mind set that there kid is a superstar. Do I think my own son is some Elite athlete ? Nope. Im just going by what other people tell me, who are in the know. Im pretty realistic with my son and sports. Its funny but my wife sorta said the same as you. she told me to get over it and that I need to look at the source of the remark. I just found the remark and the attitude to be classeless. The thing is im just getting feed up with all the B.S. involved with parents .Maybe I just cant relate to this parents who want to live through there kids in the first place.

Some parents turn into creatures at their children’s sporting events.

Like just tonight. I was at the state high school gymnastics meet. After the meet, I complimented a mom (whom I didn’t know but had been sitting behind me on the bleachers) on her daughter’s performance. The mother responded by attacking the judges. The bottom line is that I didn’t even know this woman’s name, let alone her daughter’s, and she should have just said “thank you” rather than launch into a bitter diatribe about the judging.

It ironic that you would say that. I ve been up since 5:30 this morning helping the wife get things together for the consession at are local youth football field. This is the last game of are youth championship. The only reason I bring this up is that we werent the original club that was the to hold it. I had just help the wife clear all the consesion equipment out Tuesday. What it is, last Sunday lets just say there was a issue at another school during are playoffs, Parents went ape shit over a few bad calls.( for the record there has been bad blood between these two programs all season) Lets just say some of parents where screaming stuff that crossed the line such as , Where going to shoot you and where going to cut your throats. So it was deccided to hold the finale games at a neutral site. Which would be us. So im now helping the wife by baking cookies on a Sunday morning to sell. Needles to say im pretty disgusted about what happen between these two schools.

I’m gonna wager that the azz-clownz yelling that crap were probably ‘par-friends’ under the age of 30, mostly unmarried, with 11-13 yr old spawn, usually by different men (children raising ‘playmates’). I have some ‘par-friends’ around these parts that I’d like to ‘educate’, but seeing how my wife hates that crap more than me, I have to be the ‘sane’ one.

‘Par-friend’ - n - The last generation or two of ‘adults’ raised by parents who wanted to be friends first, parent, oh, I don’t know…never.

This is what happens when we as a society condone babies having babies. They should be chastised, not applauded. When ‘baby-daddy’ is an accepted term, it just shows how far we have regressed as a society. Sorry for the hijack. This rant could go on forever.

First, parents who get that worked up about Jr. High sports need to be banished from polite society, so I’m in complete support of your being upset about her.

I’m all in favor of the iron fist in a velvet glove response, such as “Well, I’m sure your son will do fine, since he’s had 2 extra years to practice being a 5th grader. We’ll see you at the meet.”

Hey dont wrry about a hyjack. If people want to add things on here Im more then happy to read it. in this case its less of " Par -friend" As it is good old fashion “White trailer trash”.

Trust me I agree about the whole friend first thing > I was raised old school . My father was 38 when I was born. And was born and raised on a farm. My back side had felt the working end of a belt once when I was growing up. I try to be less harsh on my boys. I try to be less of a friend with my boys but more like a consler. But trust me they know where the line is drawn. Lets just say that Ive light up a few rear ends in my time also.

( Semi off topic) Part of the problem ive seen as a youth coach. is alot of these kids that come from single parent homes. Either one the father isnt taking a active roll with there child or the dad is a complete waste of oxygen. Maybe some might dissagree with me. But I feel that there needs to be a adult male present in a young boys or girls life. Boys more so.

Well its funny really. i mean like I was stating in my rant. My oldest is already established at the Jr.High Level . Since he wrestled last year in Jr.High and has compete and won against upper class men. While this womens son has been wrestling kids two years younger then himself. But this mom cant seem to put these things into prospective. But im in agreement about the whole needing to be banished from polite society. lets be honest at The Jr. High level isnt High School and should not be treat as it was. But your seeing this mind set as even in the younger levels. I mean come on Ive meet parents take there eight year old to a batting coach sveral hours a week. Is this for the kids benefit or there own?

As soon as it started I recognized it from “Heavy Metal”. Still one of my favorite movies.

Great training big boy. I was embarrased this weekend when some parents from my youngest’s hockey team were screaming like crazy people. These kids are 9. I don’t get it.
