Damn you and your fresh jam talk. Good lifting.[/quote]
I have a thing about making jam. Last week it was peach with jalapenos and scotch bonnet peppers and peach with cointreau. The peach with peppers tastes great on a bagel with cream cheese.

Deadlift
135-5
225-5
265-3
295-1 straps up
320-1 straps up/opener
The point of this progression was to cut out one set of my warm up and see how it felt. This is my work up to my opener for the meet.
Then I continued with my planned work sets
255-2x3 straps down
285-5x2 "
Walk-outs 1/4 squats singles to high pins
This was to feel heavy weight, practice my walk out with heavy weight and have Frank practice wrapping my knees
I started with 135, 225, 275
315 Frank wrapped my knees
345-straps up
365-"
385-"
405-"
These were a lot of fun. I’ve never walked out 405 never mind bent my knees with it on my back.

Another good, productive training day. This was on top of making peach/blackberry jam on Friday and painting our siding yesterday. Today we painted the front door bright red. It all looks really good.[/quote]
On top of the big weights, that was a huge volume and variety. Walking out 405 is damned impressive. Isn’t that over 3 times your BW? I remember a recent controversial PL forum thread about “if you can walk it out, you can squat it”. That’ll be awesome when , not if, you hit that number.

I remember that thread. We were laughing about that yesterday. I’m no where near advanced enough to squat what I can walk out yet. I didn’t even breathe on the last two. I was afraid if I let any air out, I’d collapse. It was pretty fun and confidence building though. You’re right that its about 3x my body weight. It was my first real taste of moving weight that feels crushing to me and gave me a taste of what I need to do to really tighten up my walk out.
A 405 walkout at your size is just mind blowing for me. Crazy. I can’t even imagine. Yeah, the whole gear thing can add a lot of stress at meets. Fitting the suit/shirt properly and timing the wraps and such. But it sounds like your BF is a good handler.

Hi Oro, walking 405lbs seems crazy to me. I kinda like that. wasn’t your handler a little worried?

He’s a super handler. In every sense of the word 
He wasn’t worried. He suggested I go heavier. I adjusted the pins very high so that even if I have to dump it, it’s about a 9" range of motion. What I found difficult wasn’t walking it out. It was walking it in. Moving forward from a wide leg squat stance is kind of precarious.

I can’t believe you can clean your own weight.
On second thought, I can believe it.
theres a lot of good lifting going on around here. Pretty inspiring.

would you have me be a “good doggie” or a “Dirty Dog”?
“Dirty dog” would be a lot more fun. But I suspect you’ve been well trained.

At our age, ‘good dog’ would be a bit too coy. ‘Dirty dog’ would be more fun.
Gonna have to hose you dogs off. Great training as always Ms O.
Sorry Eco, but isn’t it the handler’s job to do the hosing?
Great training, great stories and comments, as usual.
