I figure I will talk about the training stuff first, as this is probably going to get a bit long winded. I squatted with Chuck Vogelpohl, and his guys, Jerry O, Nate Strong, and Mike, who I had never met before. Seems like it will be a good group of guys to train with for sure. Here is what I did.
Foam Roller
Hips, IT Bands, Quads Back
Static Stretching
Free Squat with Mastadon
Bar x10
Bar plus 1 chain*/side x5
bar plus 2 chain*/side x3 Chains were kept on for all sets after
150x3
240x2
330x2
350x1
370x1
390x1
420x1 PR
Added a high box (2" above parallel)
600 plus chain x2 PR
*The chains were the big ass boat chains that they have at lexen. Each one is 60lbs, so the 4 chains per side was 240lbs of chain weight. The kicker was that both ends were hooked to the sleeve of the bar, so they were free hanging the whole time. They swung around like crazy. Chuck also tore down my squat form pretty good. I will talk about it more after I get the numbers out there.

Chuck showed me some stuff here that should definitely help my deadlift come August. Also, this felt a LOT heavier than the 805 from last week.
Powerpohl
Started with 2 plates, and one of the boat chains hooked to the front, at which point 7 more chains and another boat chain were added to the end of the boat chain. Surprisingly, the group shrunk a bunch to Chuck, Mike, and me. We were dragging it about 45 feet or so? I’m not really sure. The weight on this thing was absolutely ridiculous. We were dragging the whole thing backwards. I didn’t make the first trip. I came up about 10 feet short. I didn’t feel that bad about it though, as Chuck was cussing it up one side and down the other. After the first trip from all 3 of us, it was decided to take one of the plates off. We all did 3 more trips with it, and then I was done.
Chuck tore my squat down good, as far as my technique goes. I wasnt aware of this, but my chest was collapsing a bit as I came out of the bottom of the squat, even on my warmup sets. To help remedy this, we moved the bar higher on my back. This let me get my hands in closer and keep my upper back tighter. We also changed my head position. before, it was fairly neutral, and back into the bar. Now, with the higher bar, I am also noticeably looking up at the ceiling in front of me. This should help me a ton down the road, as when I miss a squat, it is 99.99% of the time forward on the way back up. it also helped me arch my back harder, and keep the bar over my hips more. This should really come in handy when it comes time to load up the suit with some stupid weight.
As far as the deadlift goes, Chuck showed me how to actually use a hook grip to pull with. It was definitely different than what I had thought was right up to this point. I ended up going up to 315 and the bands, and coming to within about 2" of locking it out before it ripped the big callous off of my finger. This should help a ton come meet time, especially after I get some time to work on it. I also learned to REALLY throw my head up and back once the bar passes the knees. This helped my lockout a ton, which, after my grip, has been the biggest problem with my deadlift. On the 455, I felt all sorts of stuff in my chest and shoulder pop and “tear”, and it hurt like a bitch. It was fine today (Sunday) though, so who knows what the hell it was. There was no bruising or swelling, and lord knows its not going to hurt my bench at all!
I am sore as shit today, and seriously dreading tomorrow. Between my hips and my back, I don’t know which one is worse. Doesn’t matter though. Nothing is torn off, and it will be good by the time next Saturday rolls around.
In relation to the video you posted in your log on EFS I saw this comment on youtube:

1 hour ago you made it on EFS

51 minutes ago ??? What? What does that mean?"
Hahaha
sorry about B-man he doesnt post much.
Pretty sore from Saturday still, but wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Did some silly bodybuilding stuff for my upper body, and keeping in line with the bodybuilding stuff, it was almost completely machine work. All kidding aside, it works well for me, as its easier on my elbow to do, especially with the abbreviated ranges of motion that I have to use.

Did this last night after work. Had a bunch of stuff to get done, so it was almost 10pm before I got started. Thats how it goes sometimes. Lots of volume bodybuilder style work. Trying to get some good quad work in, and get some blood in the muscles. Chuck had said that this would really help for saturdays, and with the numbers in general. We will see how it goes, but who am I to argue?

Anyway, Here is what happened Saturday:

I dont know what the hell to call these. There were 3 parts to it, and it was all ridiculous. I dont even remember the weights, or reps, or anything but how crazy it was.
Then I went back to Wendlers, showered, drove 3 hours back to Muncie, and did stuff. Great weekend. Hope all of you guys still have all of your toes andf fingers, but Im sure at least ONE of you is minus some digits. Thats why were friends. Sheer lunacy.
Decided to give some bench type stuff a rip. Figured since I havent done any since February, and am doing a meet next month, I should probably do something.
