Did you have ANY idea how we were going to respond to this one . . . ?[/quote]
That’s not what I meant…[/quote]
I know. : )
Anyway, at least your wife supports you and that’s good. You have so much raw strength, just get the form good enough to pass the judges and you’ll do fine.
^^^ If anything I will see if not trying not to be emotionally worked up in training has benefit me during the Meet when I will have to actually turn up the aggression.
Warm up: A shit load…
MPress: bar x 20…OK, my shoulders weren’t feeling right.Played it smart and went to plan 9
Close grip bench: worked up to 2 x 3 x 290 plus 80 lbs chains…surprisingly this didnt bother my shoulders.
seat db presses: 4 x 10 x some weight
Pull downs: 4 x 8 x some weight
Shrugs: 3 x 15 x 315
Arm curls (EZ bar): 3 x 8 x some weight
Bench sit ups: 3 x 20
Well that about it. Ive got one more week of heavy stuff. After that im going into a semi deload period for a few weeks just to maintain. Give my broken down carcass time to rebound for the Meet. Between doing that and not messing around with dropping weight I should come in fresh and ready to go on the platform.
9/24/11
Warm up: yep
Squat : bar x 10
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3
340 x 2
390 x 1
445 x 5…only got 4, I can say it was more of a mental thing then physical.
Speed deads: 4 singles with 315 plus 80 lbs of chains
4 singles with 315…Bar speed was slowing so I removed the chains.
GHR: 3 x 10…did two sets with band assisted,one with out. I’m kind of surprised by that.
Side bends: 3 x 8 x 80
Standing band crunches: 2 x 25
Well considering that when I do sessions two days in a row normally the second suffers. In this case it did a little but not as bad as I thought. Of course I should have held off until tomorrow. Oh well.
U better smash 500 at the meet 445x4 is heavy work
Good lifting sick dog
How many weeks of deload do you think you need? I did one and was in great shape for the meet.
Dear God . . . 445 squats for reps, and could have done more . . . 315 deads with chains and you did those FOR SPEED . . . and this wasn’t even your best day. Your biggest problem at the meet is convincing people you never competed before. Seriously.
hold up you never competed?
??? Wait a minute. Cavalier
There has been a miss understanding some where down the line. This isn’t my first Meet. Just my first one in over a year.
Ooh, so sorry, got confused on that. How many have you done?

Cant argue on that one. Considering I did 470 X 3 last week with some left in the tank. There’s no physical reason I should easily blow 500 plus out of the water. If not then it will be a mental thing and not physical.

8 th I think…
To answer your one question, I’m going to end up backing off for about three weeks.
think I’ll shut up for a while.
You better perform I am bringing a friend with me and I have been talking you up like your Stan Effereding to him.

No pressure… really I am bringing a friend and his girl to the meet but I have not been talking up up any more than a 400 Bench a 500 squat and a 600 deadlift… those are all obtainable right

500 plus squat…Yep as long as I don’t psyche myself out and choke.
400 bench…more then likely as long as the planets are align in the proper position
600 dead…Not a chance in HELL… This go around its not even a blimp on the Radar.
9/26/11
warm up: you bet ya.
bench bar x 20
95 x 10
135 x 5
225 x 5
265 x 3
310 x 2
350 X 1…(opener) paused it and pressed it easy. The hardest part was lowering it because my bicep was killing me.
band pull aparts: 3 x 20
Screw it!!!
Change of plans. I’m going ahead and starting to tapper back. My left bicep and shoulder has been screaming murder most of the day. Like I stated before at this point I’m not going to get any stronger between now and the Meet. So my goal right now is maintain what strength I have and allow my body to bounce back since its starting to send me warning signals that its not happy with me at this point.It would be nice going into a Meet not being totally beat up or just totally wasted for a change of pace.
On another note…
I just purchased the Juggernaut Training E -book from Elitefts.
After looking it over I can say that it has peaked my interest.
Are you having a doctor or chiro look at it?
