I’ve done the fries in the frosty before, but never the burger. I’ll give it a shot. It’s all going to the same place anyway, right?

Dude, I said that my gay ass Wendy’s doesn’t serve breakfast.
I’ll have to drive 40 minutes to get that.
Unless you meant dip a burger into the Frosty? Eh Major, you first =D[/quote]
I meant the fries + Frosty. Shit, ANYTHING in a frosty is going to be WINNING!

Next class up is 220, right?
Ink I bet you could easily fill it out, and keep visible abs. Maybe not teh hawt abz, but strong abs. Just have to make sure you’re killin it in the gym on a regular basis. And your strength will surely go up a shitload.
Haven’t you guys read the internet before? If you want the wimmenz, you must have TEH HAWT ABZ. Run-of-the-mill hawt abz just don’t cut it.

Saturday 3/26
BW= 256.6
-sled drag 2 plates x 6 trips rain
-sled hip flexor drag 25# x 1 trip each leg
-mini band hip abduction 3x20
-green band TKE 3x20
-stretches: IT band, groin, hip flexors
-BW box squats x some
-rev hypers 230 x some stretches; low back feeling tight, wanted to loosen it up.
-Safety bar (65#) DE box squat against green bands
bar x10, 115x5, 155x3, 205x2, 245x2
suit on straps down, belt on
295x2, 335x 10x2
One of my better sets:
2nd rep in this set you can see how I barely sat back. Also, this is too slow.
Technique sucked, speed sucked, overall a sucky squat session. Was trying to correct some technique issues but ended up all over the place. Optimist view: it’ll be easy to get better from this session.
-Big cambered bar (60#) 38" suspended Good Morning against purple bands
barx5, 150x2x5
belt on, wrap on R wrist
205x4x5

-rev hyper 230x3x10

Every session can’t be your best. At least you have the right attitude.
So did you find a Wendy’s on the way to your gym? I must admit that the thought of putting hamburgers into a Frosty makes my skin crawl, but beef in general does that to me. To each his own. People think that my habit of eating kale by the gallon bag, raw, is gross. I also have a habit of eating while I drive. Get some funny looks when people see me eating leafy green raw stuff at a traffic light. Best ever is eating hard boiled eggs while flying down the highway. The challenge of peeling eggs at 80 mph is irresistible. Satisfies my ADD tendencies too.
Hope that your wrist is continuing to feel stronger.
I’ll assume not since he’s not too pleased with his squat session.
Looks good to me MM, and like Veg said, every session can’t be your best.
You got your meet goals in the bag, an off day is allowed and expected.
GMs with bands sound so brutal… sure to send me catapulting to the floor.
Nikki- Youze right. No Wendy’s. Must’ve been the reason my session sucked. GMs against bands are pretty sucky, but the chains keep you from getting crushed by the bar.
Veg- I have no issues with kale other than it takes up more room than its calories should. I also eat while driving but I’m pretty sure that if I tried to peel a hard boiled egg while going 80 I would crash and die. I am a big fan of eating green peppers raw with some pepper jack cheese.
Wrist is feeling better. Uncomfortable when it’s forced into extension, which is why I used the wrap on the cambered bar GMs.
Haha, 308 DF, shit man! There was a guy at the meet this weekend who was in the 308 class (weighed 280) and his opening bench was more than my 3rd DL… sadface.jpeg
Major, good to hear the wrist is feeling stronger. Keep killing it!
LWI!
Thanks ink. Looking forward to going beast mode at my meet like you did.
Monday 3/28

Wait, what? Over 260, hells yeah! Just to be sure, I had a pee and weighed again without my sweats.

Coach’s advice: make small jumps when going up on bench. I want to test the wrist, but not go too high that I reinjure it. At the first hint of pain I’ll cut it off. These small jumps today felt good on the wrist. My bench feels weak and slow but the wrist felt good.
-Pendlay rows AKA BB bent rows with a pause on the floor after each rep
bar x10, 95x10, 135x10, 155x5, 185x5, 225x5x5
Felt like I could’ve gone heavier, but I just wanted some volume and a good weight to start a 3 week cycle with. Next week I’ll go heavier.
-Purple band tri ext. facing away 4x25
-rev hyper 180x3x10
So for DE benching, you basically rep it as fast as you can, without getting sloppy. Looked good. I’d agree that smaller jumps on bench are better than taking big jumps (like you would for squats and deads).
You will kick ass at that meet, yes you will.
wrist feeling good after benching = winning!

DE bench is 8 sets of triples, as fast as possible while remaining tight and with good form. Want to hit the same spot on the chest with every rep, keep the lats tight. For DE the idea isn’t to go heavy, I think Westside says to use around 50% of max. The idea is to be fast and technically sound.
Small jumps are probably a good idea for anyone on bench, but especially for me because I have two recent injuries that affect my form. L shoulder separation a couple years ago, and my R wrist recently have cause my bench numbers to lag compared to squat/DL. I’m content with taking it easy on bench anyway. Not my favorite lift to do.
Suspended chain cambered bar good mornings against purple bands. One of the longest exercise names ever. But one of the things I miss most about conjugate training is getting all of the toys out!

Got it, thanks man.
Shit, with your squat and deadlift numbers, if your bench WASN’T lagging behind, I’d hate you!
