Holy shit, way to stick that one out! Really impressive
Thanks guys. I was pretty happy about gutting that last rep out.

2 ct Pause bench

1x295 @9.5
5x3x225 —> 2 ct, 4 ct, then 6 ct pause
The extended pauses sucked. A lot.
Deadlift
1x405 @8
1x435 @9
Not happy with the pulls, but also not disappointed seeing as I really haven’t pulled that much in recent weeks.
Monday 6/25/12
BB curls - bar x a bunch
Band pull aparts - a lot
Saturday 6/30/12
4" Block pull
2x405 @8.5
1x415 @9
0x425
1x425 @10
7x365 @8.5
These block pulls suck. They are harder to break off the floor and seem to make my back work more. Both of which should be to my benefit.
Oly squat
8x3x275
Kept the squats lightish. Had an annoying calf cramp and I need to get used to squatting after pulling. Just need to be patient.

2 ct Pause bench
3x270 @9
2x275 @9
1x280 @9
0x285 —> right shoulder felt weird in the bottom
These were decent sans the wonky shoulder on the miss with 285.
Military press
4x8x135
bursting shoulders x 95
Wow. I hate/suck at high reps. Got a decent shoulder pump.
Wednesday 7/4/12
Quick session. Wasn’t planning on training today, but decided I was in need of quick study break.
2 ct Pause Oly squat
2x315 @8
1x335 @8.5
1x355 @9
1x365@9.5
Not too bad. Wasn’t feeling very supple. But I’m happy with getting 365. I just needed to get an idea of where my pause squat is.
Deadlift
5x3x335
Great pause squat there, definitely 'mirin the form.
Friday 7/6/12
Bench press
10x1x275
5x5x225 —> these were much harder than they should’ve been
3x20x135
Right shoulder was a little bothered, especially if I got lazy and didn’t stay tight. Which, surprise surprise, made the lift harder. With some patience and consistency I hope to do a single or two more each session.
Wednesday 7/11/12
Squat
1x345
1x375
0x405
The weight never felt heavy. Definitely felt lighter than I remember. I shouldn’t be too disappointed since I haven’t low bar squatted in forever and I feel as if I haven’t touched a weight in God knows how long. High bar definitely feels more comfortable in terms of finding that sweet spot for the bar.
I got a reverse hyper from Rip’s gym. One step closer to world domination!

I really really should make it up to Wichita Falls.
How come you can strict press 405 but not squat it?
Yes, I will forever be jealous.
I heard Faben once strict pressed VY Canis Majoris…then he tweaked something and all of this training is an extended deload in the interest of rehab.

2x335 @10 —> PR I can recall miserably failing to get 1x335

10x225
Bench press
1x255 —> felt like 405, not that I actually know how it feels to bench 405
3x6x225
Bench felt awful, so decided I should at least get in a little amount of decent work.

Sounds amazing.

The SSB squats from yesterday had my quads, glutes and upper back sore.

These should help with getting my back stronger.

T-bar row
5x10x135
Military press
5x10x95
Overall a nice albeit a painful choice. Triceps, upper back, and shoulders were feeling rather pumptastic. Hopefully I’ll get a bit more accustomed to the higher reps.
Sunday 7/22/12
Oly squat
2x1x325
9x295 —> meh
8x295 —> felt ‘better’ than the previous set
I think working up/warming up a little bit more prior to the scheduled rep set should get me in a more primed state.
Snatch grip DL
10x135
10x225

The snatch grip really sucks.
