Nice work. I’m a few weeks away from graduating myself.
Mmatt - for me lol
Jake - nice, yeah im not graduating just yet
Bench/Deadlift - 4/28/12
Bench (flat-footed)
Attempt #1 - 245x1
Attempt #2 - 260x1 5lb PR
Attempt #3 - 275x1 20lb PR on this attempt i thought the spotter touched it even though he said it was “all you” so…
Attempt #4 - 275x1 again 20lb PR told him dont touch it unless its pinned on my chest lol
Deadlift (all conventional; first time pulling heavy straight weight conventional)
Attempt #1 - 405x1
Attempt #2 - 445xmiss at about 2" from lockout
Attempt #3 - 445xmiss again at about 2" from lockout
Attempt #4 - 425x1 60lb conventional PR
Goal going in to this was to get atleast 700lbs push/pull. Well with the 275 and 425 I hit my goal! Pretty happy with that. Learned a few things that I will note at the bottom.
NG DB Press
50/70x8
85x6
CSR
3x10
Sled Draggin
1plate fwd/bkwdx40yds each
2plates fwd/bkwdx2x40yds each
Tire Flip
Big tirex2 times…no clue how heavy this was except it was a bitch to flip lol
Notes: I am pretty happy with how today went. Bench overall went great although it was tough having nobody for a press command. I just took it til the bar was motionless on my chest and pressed. In hindsight on deadlifts I should have went from 405 to around 425 for my second instead of going straight to 445. I have now found where my sticking point is on conventional deadlifts so I will choose my max effort exercises to work on that. Things such as reverse band deadlifts, pulls against bands, rack pulls against bands, etc.
Tire Flips
#1
#2
Shit was heavy and they were hot from baking in the 100 degree heat.

le lol
Well matt i mean, you only have 1000lbs on all my lifts 
Super strong bench just like I predicted on the last page. I must be one of them there psychic people.
Finishing this semester already is crazy. I won’t be done until the end of June with my exams.
Congrats! 20lb bench PR is no joke, very very good form and arch you’ve got going, can tell it’s a knock on effect of your training style/training partners. 60lb conventional PR sounds crazy, can’t remember how much you sumo’d though?
Samoth - thanks
Jake - Best sumo is 440. Was trying to hit my best pull overall today with the 445. Got work to do.
DE Lower - 4/29/12
Box Squat against avg bands
-narrow, shoulder width stance
-12" box
175x10x2
Single Leg Hamstring Curl
2x12
Standing Band Abs
Avgx2x25
Notes: Narrow box squats were actually pretty tough. Different animal than the wide stance. This week will be decreased assistance and more rep work on ME day to have a little quasi-deload.
congrats on that deadlift PR and that 315 bench is literally just around the corner now.
Nice work bro. I don’t know how you missed that 445, you were close! Speed off the floor looks good, so it’s all about the lockout now.
LOL @ the fire department showing up as you’re getting raped by that tire. Someone probably saw you struggling and called for assistance.
Nice work bro. LOL @ “hot” in 2nd vid. I can relate.
Jacob - thanks man, yeah I actually have some confidence it will come soon now lol
Ink - thanks man, I KNOW! I was trying so hard to make it that last couple inches. ya the guy lifting off for the bench was actually a firefighter too, but yeah someone prob called for me
Spar - appreciate it man, haha yeah those things were damn hot
ME Bench - 5/1/12
Closegrip Bench (flat-footed)
-hands right next to smooth-

Notes: Good bench night. Kept it conservative on the closegrip. Definitely had more in me on both the triple and the single. Pullin on thursday!
I went into the strength and conditioning place I will be volunteering/interning at this summer to meet the guys and stuff. Had an awesome time. Turns out I’m going to be able to train there while Im home. Going to be awesome, have everything I need, including a reverse hyper! Going to change my schedule from tuesday, thursday, saturday, sunday to monday, wednesday, friday, saturday since they are closed sundays. Still going in a couple hours to pull today though but then will hit bench saturday and that’ll start the new schedule. Should be fun!
Bench is going up nicely… solid close gripping. Interning/volunteering and training at that place sounds awesome, pretty damn jealous.
