New training partners definitely sound like they will help you tone up and hopefully not get too big.
Luls, those guys sound LEGIT. Looking forward to future updates from this point on!

NOTES: All I have to say is holy crap. Today was awesome, bands are insane. Definitely going to be feeling it tomorrow. Pretty exciting I had around 525 on my back with the bar weight plus band tension. Tuesday is ME Bench and my new wraps come tomorrow! Woot!
nice…very nice
That must be crazy as hell… very cool stuff. Assuming you need a certain type of power rack to use bands properly though?
PS: impressed by that dudes calves too, he’s a beast
spar4tee - thanks man
jake - yeah the bands were crazy, definitely takes some getting used to as you can see me on the walk out lol. we just choked the bands underneath the power rack. yeah man, im really lucky to be able to train with and around these guys. they are very cool, helpful and motivating
That looked intense, your gains are going to explode surrounded by such great training partners!
phlegms - it was brutal man. and i definitely hope so!!
Ya, I’m jealous. I live relatively close to Orlando Barbell, where Brian Schwab and his crew train. If I lived just a little bit closer, I would train there. It would be awesome to train around guys that serious, as opposed to training around elderly/feeble/weak/lazy at PF.
Congrats on your meet too, you’re killin’ it.
Thanks bwilliams! Like Ive said, this opportunity is awesome and hopefully itll pay off and show in my training and numbers!
New APT wrist wraps came in today just in time for ME Bench tomorrow! Woot!

NOTES: Overall good day. 225 set was decent. The band work felt pretty good/tough. My bench sucks. Definitely going to be sore tomorrow in the chest/tris/lats. Oh and also, talking to my training partners today, sunday was DE squat work, FML!!! LOL.
at least you didn’t miss a meet
Hey doing pin lockouts with 315 is solid. You would hit a big PR in the bench if you had a meet next week even.
Spar4tee - what happened with the meet man?
Guinness - thanks man, it is pretty big for me to have 315 in my hands in any way. I am excited to see what the future holds!

You didn’t see? Basically it started way earlier than I was prepared for on a Saturday morning and I skipped it out of pure lethargy. In hindsight, I still wanted to go, but I just wasn’t getting sleep I needed due to college and all.
How do you set up for the pins? I’ve tried those a few times and the bar would always slide when I start the press.
Good work, locking out 315 must feel great.
