Harry, I remember back in the day that was standard. But those kind of gyms have now turned into basement/garage PL gyms. But when I was a teenager all the gyms had the 225 club, 315 club, etc for the big 3.
Feeling beat to hell. managed to rip up damaged laminate floor, clean the subfloor etc. Not so easy after pulling heavy Thursday, and the bench session today. Time for pizza and alcohol.
You are a man who has definitely learned how to make the gear work for you.
Hopefully I’ll get there. Not be a man. But learn how to better use the gear.
actually snapper, I am still on the low end of the curve for gear mastery. Well, for the shirt I am getting there. The rest of it requires a little more time and ducats on my part.
sick, had to bail on the bb club,
went to commerical gym did this
45 degree leg press some x some
ghr 4 x 12
ab wheel 4 x 12
then went to doc in the box and go some anitbiotics. sweating non stop, working tonight til I collapse. stoopid deadlines.
Hope you feel better soon and can quickly return to training.
you got an “Ace-in-the-hole” right ? --back up sump pump. My previous life I restored bassements after floods. Hated it!!
Great lifting here.
What kind of shirt you have ?
hey pete…
we have our competitions coming up in less than a month now. are you still planning on going push/pull homo or full on BOF?? 
also, what are you planning on opening with on bench? with you hitt’n that 700lbs + i’m guessing you will open in the low 600’s??
i have no idea what i’ll be opening with on any of my lifts. i haven’t even come close to a 1 RM lift in a very long time.
Fischer, alas, no sump.
Shirt is a standard double Fury
Meat, I will be push/pull, haven’t gotten by gearwhoring situated to skwat this meat. In reality I haven’t had any true maxes lately. Everything I hit is conservative, and the bar speed has pretty much always been fast. Have to determine those openers over the next couple weeks.
Sorry about the sweats, that’s just how man-o-pause hits us.
raw assitance night
reverse grips 135 x 10 225 x 8 275 x 5 315 x 5 365 x 5 PR
seated dumbell press 80s x 10 95s x 10 105s x 12 wasted a lot of energy getting the d bells in place
power pushdowns w/mini around shoulders 5 x 10
ropedown/extension 3 x 15 each
seated dumbell curls 5 x 10
rope hammer curls 4 x 12-15
cable laterals 5 x 12-15
feeling marginally better, worked from home yesterday and did a conference call, then proceeded to take a feverish nap where I had nightmares about cisco third party applications.

The Horror…
deads
hanging abs 4 x 12
conventional RAWWWWW pull 145 x 5 235 x 5 325 x 3 415 x 2 505 x 1 625 x 1 685 x 1 PR 705 x 0, was stupid, got cocky with how easy 685 went up, got on my toes, didn’t have my lats engaged, and was basically completely off in form. I have no fear this will go fine come 10/23.
dumbell rows 4 x 12 w/150
dumbell shrugs 3 x 15 w/130s
reverse hyper 2 x 10 w/225, need to do these more
prowler 90lb x 40yd x 10, very short rest, all done in 12 minutes, not bad for a fat dude.
Thats really fine pulling Pete, looks like you have things dialed in.
Pretty Pulling Pete
685 went up easy!!! damn… you must have upped your dosage of vitamin “T”.
Impressive PR Pete!
25 minutes elliptical today. long week, exhausted. long training cycle too. For once I am anxious for the deload.
That’s a beautiful deadlift PR. I have no doubt 705 will be nothing on meet day. That’s why it’s my favourite on meet day. It’s pure adrenaline. I live for the third pull.
btw, did your bench day on the 25th take 3 hours?
Damn!! Sounds like you’re good and ready for this meet. Nice PR Pete!
Ms. O, indeed it did take 3 hours. Today was 2:45 w/prowler. Comes with lifting with a team, of sorts, I guess.
Raw warm up 140 x 10, x 10, 230 x 5, 280 x 3, 320 x 3, 3 board 410 x 3
shirt on 500 x 3 to 3 board, 590 x 2, rep 1 to 2 board, rep 2 to 1 board, 630 x 1 to 1/2 board.
This should be a week out of the shirt for me, but being this close to the meet I wanted to get something closer to touching. My forearms ache so bad that every rep was painful. As soon as the 630 hit the 1/2 board it flew up lightening fast, mainly because I wanted to get it out of my hands.
raw 2 board 320 x 5, 370 x 3, because of a really stupid joke cut that one short, was laughing too hard. 420 x 5, PR
pulldowns 5 or 6 x 8-10
band pull aparts 3 x 20
band pushdowns 3 x 30
prowler 90lb x 40yd x 8 trips.
