Fuck that thread. Srsly. Zerchers FTMFW! Sumo, just what I like to see. 475 RB, niiiiice!
Thanks for the clarification greg and Ink. Good work man. Broken blood vessels, FTW!
When i get done with my contest, i’ll have to try reverse band sumo pulls, could be a fun exercise.

Just like Ink said, break it up into mini sets if you have to (you probably will unless you’re a beast) I was doing my pushups in 2’s and 3’s by the end of the second time through. It was brutal.

I was on the way down, doing the set of 15 pushups and was like “Shit, i got to 8 pretty easily. 9…10…stop. 11…stop. 12…13…14…stop. Doooown, stop. FUCK! UUUUP!!”
It’s a monster, you’ve come up with Greg. I think the upping by 2’s and 5’s is the key, rather than by 1’s or something. Nastyness.[/quote]
Can we get video of this?

Haha, not from me man, youtube can only upload 15 minutes at a time!
Convinced my brother to try the Pyramid of Pain, and he made it through the “10” set in 11 minutes, and quit. Said it’d taken 3 hours to finish it. LOL
Crazy sore in the chest and lats from that thing, and I’m going to attempt an ME Upper workout tonight. FML…
OMG, that evil pyramid scheme! That thing is nasty! Took me 45 mins to finish it. Skerred all the boys with my mayja pumpz and had me walking around like a cartoon bodybuilder. Good times!
You should become a master at that thing in the time that your knee’s busted, Masch! Wicked pumpz FTW!
In other news, I’ve discoreved the Rec Center as a big ass park near my house (5-6 miles away?) has a “fitness/weightlifting area”, so I think my wife and I are going to check it out after work today and see if it meets my picky needs. If we got the 6 month at a time rate, it’s about the same price as the other potential new gym, which is way cheaper than what I was paying. We’ll see, and I’ll try to snap some pics.
The pyramid workout sounds killer. I’ll look at trying it next week at the office gym

Yes, but it would be a boring ass video. It’d be 2 minutes of work, mixed in with 20 minutes of panting, crying, and passing out repeatedly. Now that I mention it, it would be good for the lulz, haha

That would be the most logical answer.
One thing I’m noticing with heavier weights on 2bd, is that my elbows tend to chicken wing out, and I don’t keep them tucked anymore. Anyone know how to avoid/prevent this?
Good lookin pressing man! I think those reps are harder than they should have been because your elbows are flaring a bit early. Maybe there is a tricep weakness? Just a thought, great work brotha!
Dude, I think I zerchered my tri’s by doing that pyramid twice… Cereal.

So you think it’s a tricep weakness that causes the flaring? I don’t know, but I want to address and fix that shit so I can bench like a boss. haha.
Greg, my brother (who did half the pyramid of death) said this morning “Dude, I’ve never been so sore in my whole life, than I am right now after that shit” feelsgoodman.jpeg HAHA
Still can’t believe you did that thing 2x, and finished it both times. You’re amazeballs, yes homo
Nice pressin ink. Maybe you could get a slingshot. It will teach you to tuck and you can do so at heavier weights, then when you come back to regular working sets it should be easier to keep the tuck.

Ok thanks man, I’ll look into it. Thanks.
It’s like I know to tuck on the way down, but once I get to the “Fuck this is heavy” point, the elbows just shoot out
