deja vu: walked into Monday squats feeling like shit due to Sunday’s yard work. Kept allergies in check this time, but my hams, glutes and low back were drum tight from weeding. ah well, sux to be auld
nicely discovered when moving the cambered bar our of the mono and putting the yoke bar in that the bar I have been using for the last few weeks is an 85 lb bar, not 65 lb as I had assumed. confirmed also with bar owner
yoke bar box squat worked up to 495 + 180 in chains x 3.
wore my uber loose Metal briefs, which are now trashed and so big that I don’t know if I am getting anything out of them, so happy with this since my squat has been kind of hit or miss due to training environment. looking forward to going back to old Thursday squat schedule soon, when I can squat with a straight bar again
raw back off set 445 x 12, some kind of PR
lower back felt fubar’d at that point
rev hyper 4 x 10
cable abs 4 x 8
leg ext 3 x 10
calves 3 x 10
prowler 90lb x 40yrd x 8
20 year old kid pushing the prowler with me nearly died. old dude wins

Hows the rehab coming along?
It looks like if your wrists are neutral you can bench correct?
So…if and when you bench can you really try to screw your elbows close or go to a closer grip?[/quote]
Neutral not any pain unless I go really heavy at this point, hence the high volume stuff. And yeah, I will be really tucking, which is the way I usually benched accept for the day I got injured, go figure.

That’s solid pulling, Pete, great PR. [/quote]
Thanks Jack, I feel like this was more a mental breakthrough than anything else. Finally think I know how to approach that bar to truly pull what I can.

Thanks. Finally learned to not fuck myself by getting all psyched, popping ammonia, and then getting in a horrible position, which has happened to me every time I have tried to pull over 700 raw over the last couple of years.

I have never used ammonia or nose tork simply due to the fact that if I did I’d be standing in a puddle of blood shooting out of my nose, lol.

you mean like this? this is after 715 geared, lol:
It’s nice that you get hurt and find out that you can now pull 705 lbs raw, usually when I get hurt I learn that an ice cream carton on my lap is much more convenient than a bowl.
