405 2x Crazy easy. That was the fastest 405 has ever moved for me. Honestly felt like I could have done 6 or something lol. That was really good for my confidence and state of mind.

Fucking finally.
Much, much better today. I’d say everything is on track for some PRs come meet day, no need to overthink anything at this point. Just load up on pre-workout samples at the Arnold to use next weekend.

I’ve come to the conclusion that over thinking, can be a huge detrement to strength training. Good work C

Thanks. Na not technically a PR, but if I had wanted to go for an all out set it definitely would have been. I have only hit 405 for a double once before and it was like 10x harder than it was this time.

325 1x nailed it; this will be my second attempt
275 1x
275 2x couple form backdown sets for fun
Well that rounds out an awesome final week of meet prep. Really nice considering how crap everything was feeling for the last month or so, but this week I hit everything I wanted on all 3 lifts. Feeling much more confident going into the meet.
Gonna go to the Arnold this weekend, take it easy next week, and I’ll let you all know how the meet goes.

315:

Everyone lying to you brotha, your just so damn top heavy your ass tilts up wards with force output on horizontal pressing, solution squat more![/quote]
Actually, you might have a point there - he doesn’t have an ass. Get some glutes man. I recommend sumo deads and sumo block pulls.
I haven’t seen someone wearing Mizuno’s in a looonnnggg time.
Bringing it back Berg. I think I have a mizuno baseball mit. Shit went hard in da paint.

I’ve still got my 9 spike Mizuno baseball cleats.
I didn’t know they made shoes…
Kill it Chrisssssssssssssss!
Hope you’re having a good time!
WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
Good benches man.
How did you fix your butt coming up?
Would you call those sink and presses or just a regular pause?

Thanks!
I actually set my back like always, but instead of setting my feet then I literally pick my feet up and then set them back down. That seems to set my butt/hips/arch in such a way that I can stay down much easier. I then try to slide my feet out as far as possible. My groin mobility is very insufficient, so it’s a bit tough to get as wide as I want.
It’s still a bit of a sink on my press, but not quite as much as before. That’s just kinda how I do pauses.
So there hasn’t been any training lately. I’m just deloading until the meet on Saturday.
In the mean time, enjoy these highlight pictures from the Arnold last weekend!
