hot tub and rye whiskey. You’ll be good as new…
OK… I don’t like this… he has not been on here for a bit, unlike him. Gonna go and see if I can find him…
Ok… found him… he is lurking about, and he has some interesting goals in mind for his future… I am not gonna spoil it, but it will be fun to watch. And yes, it will involve some manscaping!!!
MM to become an underwear model?

Oh no! Not…THAT!
hey guys… thanks for all the concern. my internet got fried during a thunderstorm friday night. i’ve been “borrowing” my neighbors wireless sigal until it’s fixed. needless to say, the signal is weak and goes in and out. as for my injury, i attempted to pull sumo this past weekend and it was a no go. tonight i pulled conventional with mild discomfort. it was actually a good time to do some experimenting. i have a bad habit of letting my mind wonder when i’m getting ready for a pull. tonight i set up and dive bombed the bar. it worked really good. there’s only two problems- when you dive bomb you take the chance of grabbing the bar off center and not setting your grip. i had both happen on different sets but i can tell with some practice, i’ll pull some decent numbers this way with a conventional setup.
also… i’ve decided to drop some bodyfat. i’ve been watching my diet as well as adding in more hypertrophy training for the past two weeks. it feels great!!! i may even do a bodybuilding show in the future… but don’t get me wrong. i’m a powerlifter FIRST. i just wanna be a healthier one that’s not afraid to take his shirt off.
anyway… this is what i did tonight.
conventional deadlift- divebomb style.
135x10
225x6
315x6
405x6
495x4
585x2
635x1- this felt very light but i didn’t get my left hand set and it slipped out of my hand at lockout. i’ll be practicing this style and will use it at the World’s.
seated cable rows
some x some
seated overhead press
0x10
135x10
225x6
315x8 + 2 rep PR
standing alternating dumbell curs- see i told you… i’m doing some bodybuilding training. haven’t done these in many moons. i was suprised at how light the 80’s felt. i guess this powerlifting stuff has made me stronger.
40’s x 6
60’s x 6
80’s x 6
superset cable wrist curls and standing calf raises
some x some x 5
bodyweight at 270…
Nice work…
bar speed was good,
OH press looked awesome.
still strong as hell- I found doing speed work yesterday- that Its hard to line up the grip,
a little hypertrophy or fat loss is probably good- would you stay at the same weight class?

Nice lifting Boss! What weight class you gonna compete at in the Worlds?
We need some 100 lb plates at my gym. Can only get 500 lbs on the trap bar… piss me off…
Nice work MM. I have major military press envy going on.

i’m guess’n i’ll be a 259 for the Worlds… or may still be in the 275’s. not worried about it really.
yeah… we have 4 thank God.
Absolutely awesome OH press, Meat. The DLs were as well, but I am desensitized from watching you pull 600+ all of the time…lol. Just a walk in the park…

Dang that is some good benchin’ Meat. So far no strenth loss w/bodyweight dropping it would appear.
Meatwinkle, how tall are you?

nope…i’m really hoping that i’ll be able to replace some of the fat with new mass since i’m doing all the high rep crap. i think i caught a glimpse at a top ab this morning when the light hit it just right. but then it ran away and hid.

Hah, I have the lighting in my bathroom just right so that right now, in the morning, before eating anything, and after sweating a little bit, I have the faintest outline of my top two rows of abs. Of course, as soon as I step in the shower and my body sucks up that moisture they disappear, but it made me happy for a minute.

Dang. I’m impressed, you are going to have to change your log in name.
i pulled a hip flexor two weeks ago. tonight was a testing out night to see if it was just a minor pull or something more. luckily it was just a minor pull. i can still feel it a little so i shut it down early. next week i’ll bump the squat up to 635.
