Care to elaborate?
I was pulling modified sumo for awhile a la Eddie. I’d like to see a video of how you’re doing it.

My philosophy is if I dont exceed numbers from the last one…the it was a failure of a Meet.

Champion Training Day part 3
Well I was a little delayed getting this out, Oh well better late than never. Iâ??m not going to bore the hell at everyone so I’ll just get down to it and list a few interesting bits from the seminar.
Consistency… every time you perform a lift from how you set up the lift to how you perform it.
“I believe in the Russian philosophy, you only have so many true Maxes in your life time don’t waste them in the gym” Ed Coan
I asked Coan how he develop his Bench considering his relatively long arm length, (people tend to overlook he had a fairly damn good one). His response was that he got his assistance exercise as strong as possible so that he had no weak point.
Listen to what your body is telling you.
When you make changes to your program introduce those changes one at a time. Donâ??t go hog wild and revamp everything in your program all at once.
Always try to be smart on meet attempts and try for 9 for 9 , most guys whom win Meets at the higher level normally go 7 for 9 or better.
I asked if there was any benefit for a Raw lifter to implement gear into ones training. by Mike Tuchscherer and Brian Siders felt there was benefit in the aspect of providing extra overload.
Ed Coan feels that the the current % used by most for speed work isnâ??t high enough to develop explosiveness.
Jeremy Hartman is not a fan of touch and go Dead lifting.
Mike Tuchschere is a big advocate of pause squats and pause Dead lifts.
Coan and Siders are big backers of using overhead pressing to help develop the bench.
“People read too much” Ed Coan
Reps to build the Deadlift
Jeremy Hartman resets on every rep on deads up to 20 seconds
.
Instead of speed work Coan suggested just focusing on lifting as explosively on your work sets.
Keep things as simple as possible.
Jeremy Hartman is a advocate of rotating between conventional and sumo deads in the offseason.
Coan based his Meets attempts on how he actually felt on the day of the Meet.
Ernie Frantz, Vince Anello and Larry Pacifico were all of the same mindset that oneâ??s sumo should be the same or close to ones conventional if not it was a sign of a overall body weakness ( this was not from the CTD but it was from a e mail to me from Hartman)
Well this was just a few things covered. I should go more into detail but I think most get a general idea.
thanks… through my excessive reading those are things that I hear from almost all successful lifters…
Thanks for taking the time to share with everyone your experience with Eddie and others. Wish I could have been there in person.

True I didn’t go into it thinking I was going to hear about the true mystical secrets of strength… My main goal was to have my form evaluated and get a few pointers .

Ill tell Ron
I cant imagine he will remember me but thats fine
^^ Sure he would…asked about you during the State Meet this year.
Well…Tried to Bench today, the key word being "tried’
Was going to go a little lighter then normal and concentrate on set up and engaging my upper back into the movement.
On my warm up set with 135 I noticed a slight tweak in my left rotator and a slight pulling feeling in my right bicep .
I ended up doing several sets of 10 until I played it smart and shut the whole show down .
The way I look at it Fuck ego…injuries take too damn long to recover from .
true that on the injuries. have you started your weight loss conditioning process
Very soon…going to start getting on the sadomasochistic device known as a treadmill and start cutting oyt a few things on the diet.
Good thing Im here before the crankyness starts, err umm the diet. What is it with you guys and fall diets?
Speedo season is over!
Good for you on not pushing that bench!!

Speedo…HELL, I was thinking full on Thong!!! HMMMM…just got to get some waxing done.
Actually my diet inst going to be that hard core. Just want to drop a few pounds since I feel I have reached maximum density at this point ( Fat Bastard stage) and work on a base line of conditioning.
Yeah…Played it smart on the Bench sorta made up for it today.
