Nice work dude. Wait until you start doing RB Benching, and you get well over 315 in your hands, that’s fun!
How’d those new wraps compare to the other EFS ones?
spar4tee - shit man I mustve read right over it. regarding the pin presses, i set up like im going to bench but thats the thing with them, sometimes it does slide but usually if it does, you’re not getting the weight lol
jake - thanks man, yeah it did.
ink - thanks dude, yeah I dont know whats in store! new wraps are SO NOICE, more comfortable AND way more sturdy. definitely recommend these wrapz

Rack pulls looked rough! Really enjoying this new style of training, looks like it perfectly suits your goals.
Wait, so w/ band tension you just rack pulled like 550 on your first try at them? Where abouts on your knee is the bar before the pull? That’s pretty respectable if I’m reading it right.
Banded pull throughs are effing crappy. Did you feel like you were going to fall between your own legs? LOL
Nice work man
Phlegms - thanks man, and i agree!
Jake - yeah with band tension around 550. We stood on plates so the bar was at mid knee for me. Thanks brotha
Ink - first set i fell backwards like 3 times LOL, thank you sir.

LOL, that’s why I don’t do them with bands anymore. I need some soccer cleats or something
Good stuff, I found the difference from above my knee and just below to be huge- mid-knees just awkward ;)… race to 600 below-knee rack pull? olol (hard to compare since I can’t work out if rack pulling favours or doesn’t favour sumo stance)
