Great benching, Joe. Nothing wrong with not growing up. I’m trying not to.[/quote]
My wife says your actting 17 all the time is 80% a good thing and 20% really annoying.

You should get the misses to bite it for you, more fun that way.
It looks good on paper but I’m fighting for every single rep. The three rep sets will be tough next week and even if I hit them i’m only prolonging the reset a month or so.[/quote]
My wife does have a thing for biting. Her teeth are too sharp, though. Bit my arm once and it showed for 4 days.
All that fighting is what is going to drive the gains. You have migrated from less weight with more reps to heavy weight with fewer reps. Jim would be proud.
We are all just prolonging resets. Eventually it has to happen. But I think the intention (just my take) is, like with 5x5, you keep going up until you actually fail to hit prescribed reps. Then you reset.
I think that we get so used to doing lots of reps and exceeding prescribed reps that we forget the benefits of 1-3 ball busting reps. Hell, a lot of programs never go over 3 reps.[/quote]
here’s hoping, I’ve got to make up a lot of ground on you guys.

Hey Joe,
Congratulations on 405, man. Always a nice milestone. Onwards and upwards now, brother. I’m gonna need to start training earlier in the day so if I can ever get my ass outta bed on time maybe we can throw some iron around sometime.
Keep up the good work.

Hey, bro. I figure if I was doing a true max i could pull 425 or so but it was ncie to get the 405 after that work set. just let me know and we’ll hit the iron hard.

Great job, Joe, that’s a big pull from a tough position. I hate pulling from mid shins.
I’d take a cheap PR like that any time.
What Jack said. Nice work, Joe.
Good pull. Sometime this year I will get to a point where I will have to video, I hope.

That’s the one with the capri’s that are too long or the pants that are too short. Dressing issues aside, it’s a nice pull.
I also just realised you have relatively short arms. I could see where the bar was hooking you at lockout. Mine is significantly lower

Yeah, its the biggest reason I don’t post more videos of my pulls. I have short arms, short legs and a long torso that all combine to produce somewhat embarassing deadlift and rack pull videos.
Thanks for noticing.

Well you’ll notice I wasn’t too proud to claim it.

It really pretty motivating, plus I can break down parts of a lift I need to work on by watching them.
