blow outs were blood, not snots. right now thanks to my sinus rinse i have an almost perma nose bleed.

Dixie, mine is the Metal Pro Deadlifter. mostly single ply, but double in some spots. Modified with straps it is awesome. Otherwise I would go with their King. So far no real carryover, but that will be coming:) [/quote]

Nice. I will see what Metal has got in single ply.

Benched full ROM today with monster minis reversed, shoulder felt great. Give it a few more weeks and I can pick up where I left off with your plan again.

technically I think my suit and the King are single ply, just not IPF approved. Email Jesse Rogers on whether they are allowed in SPF single ply.

Congrats on the shoulder feeling better, and great job working through the injury. I don’t know how many ‘used tas’ I run into/know who think their whole lifting life is railroaded due to a small injury. Then there are friends who tear shit to the bone, and are back at it in 3 weeks. determination/craziness is a necessity for success

Nice work Pete

867

Snapper, heard on some of the boards great things re: the Velocity. Lots of carryover for conventional some very respected lifters were saying.

Bulldog, thanks. Still semi injured, so happy to do what I did. Really need to be getting some good rep work in the mid 600s over the next few weeks to get my pull ‘to the next level’.

868

deload, intentional or not

squat to box 145 x 10, 195 plus green bands x 2, 315 + green bands x 2, 415 + green bands x 2, 465 + greenies x 1, 505 straight weight x 1.

Every set felt like shit. Bar felt bad on back, and pain shooting down sides of both legs.

I have always thought ‘ergonomically correct workspaces’ were for pussies. I am rethinking this. After nine hours in meetings, plus and hour in rush hour to gym, I felt like a fucking cripple. Called it a night for squatting with the 505, then did the following:

reverse hyper 5 x 10
ghr 3 x 10
leg raise 3 x 10
band leg curl 3 x some

I might have been better off doing this before squatting.

I think I have run band tension for 5 weeks or so, to the box, plus pulled heavy Monday. I have to rethink things a little, maybe not throw out everything but I do need to schedule deloads. When I did this, which was quite a while ago, I progressed much better than I am currently. I hate deload weeks mentally so might just cherry pick one session a week, over a four week rotation, to deload. Consider this that week for squatting.

Also, being a desk jockey definitely is not helping me at all. Tuesday I worked from home, all day in shorts, my Sambas, t-shirt. Multiple trips each hour moving around. Sitting on a stool at a high work station (kitchen counter) when doing computer work. Felt like shampion all day and night. Next day went into work and two hours later after sitting in a shity chair felt broken down. Dress shoes, chairs, etc do not help with mobility and being able to function at the level I wanto to.

But the paychecks are sure nice. Will figure out.

869

nice work- crippled or not.

I do notice that even your de type days are still huge

no -one likes to deload, its kind of a kill jo a needed evil

im not suggesting you go to work in birkenstocks and sit on an inflatable ball
but your kind of like a big guy to be sitting on a 49$ chair from staples

can you sneak in some black on black chucks or vans?

Kevin, I actually texted my wife today to go bet me a ball so I can be ‘that guy’. Swore I would never do that. Footware wise, tomorrow is casual, I usually don’t do this but I will sport my Sambas, maybe with a sweet long sleeve Fred Perry or Addidas shirt. See how that feels.

871

Sitting all day is miserable, I did that one summer as an intern, hated it.

Hit a bench PR tonight, thanks for all the shoulder rehab instruction and the tips, shoulder felt great almost all the way through, and even when it felt a little ish, there was no pain. Sincerely, thanks.

872

20 minutes stepper
20 minutes treadmill
foam roll, stretch

talked to trainer buddy, he is going to put me through the paces of active stretching next week

873

Silly as it sounds, what causes me pain is driving my car for long periods. It really exacerbates my chronic hammie/psoas pain. I do so much driving with shuttling kids all over the place. Sometimes it’s four hours a day.

You should do anything you can to make your workspace more comfortable.

874

875

Dude great training here. holy cow not set up correctly and still hit 700.

876

pulling

lots and lots of stretching, leg swings, etc.

GMs, sans belt worked up to 405 x 5. Decided to can it there, considered these as a ‘warm up’

Rack pulls 1 pin with thick old squat bar, against quadded minis, up to 585 x 3. 40lbs over last week

thicker bar worked the fug out of my grip.

leg press 5 x 20 w/860
shrugs 5 x 15 w/405

decline sits 4 x 20
pull throughs 4 x 15

neck 3 x some
ghr 3 x some
calves 3 x some

used to think pull throughs were worthless, but with all the pain/impingement I have been having in my hips I think I might get a little bit of benefit from them now. feeling them there anyway

877

solid work.

I am always stunned here and in meats log-

when I get a good grasp of what other work goes into
pulling pressing squating big numbers.

I think if I good morning 185 x 5 I would fall over.

Interesting you mention this because I just dumped these from my program. Just never felt like I was getting much bang for my buck in terms of accessory work.

Big rack pulls there Pete.
