LOL, no. It is hot as fuck in my gym last night, and my glasses were sliding down my nose.
SO I pushed them up.
VT - Nice meet numbers. Damn.
CB - Quit showing off with the shrugs and pull from a couple feet lower. This is a deadlift race, not who has the nicest yoke in their pretty blue shirt. j/k
I’ll be back next week sometime for the pulls. Ripped an adductor apart following the meet. I suck.

Beans, you video’ed the shrugs but not the deads???
Also, on the shrugs keep your arms LOCKED when you unrack them. My biceps screamed bloody murder at me watching that. Nice shruggin though. 
11/2/11: Deads. Start of the 3 week. Felt pretty good going into this one for a change, and managed one sorta PR and one 5LB cheap one.
VIDEO:
Warmups as always.
Clean & jerks inspired by the overhead challenge thread.
111X5
161X3
201X2
251X1
271X1
291X0, Rest periods were too short, and my technique/tightness went to total shit. Lost it at the bottom. Took a rest, pulled my head out of my ass and tried it again.
291X1 PR sort of. My feet and catch were still all over the place, but I got it up. I’ve cleaned a little bit more than this before but have not clean and pressed it. Eh, I’ll take it.
Deads:
70% 345X3
80% 395X3
90% 445X5. These all felt heavy as fuck. The cleans/Jerks really became a lot more than a warmup and it affected my performance here. I won’t do those heavy very often. Probably only once per cycle. I also kind of wanted to push my auxillaries a bit, so stopping at 5 here made sense.
Pull ups/chins:
BDW X8
+50X3
+75X1
+100X1
+130X1 5LB PRish. Was close, but my chin just cleared the bar. Closer to that 150LB DB.
Leg press/blast strap fallouts combo set:
Leg press SomeX20, blast strap fallouts BDW X10
3 sets of that with little rest. Felt good.
Done.
Also,
Bug, nice work on the PR.
VT, way to SFW at the meet. Kickass.
Good work all around folks. This thread does not dissapoint.

There was some boner dicking around in the rack next to me. He woudl have ended up in the vid, and I’m new enough there and he isn’t, that I’m not looking to cause any trouble.
Oh beans, btw, I work out at a BSC in Boston now. Is that anywhere close to you? We should catch a session one of these days.

No worries, just friendly ball busting anyway. I do understand your concern though. I go out of my way to try and make sure I don’t video others but it doesn’t always work.

Assuming you are at the one on Boyalston (sp) my office is about 10-20mins away depending on traffic.
Next week in a no go for me, I’ll be in Florida for work most of the week, and at meetings the rest…
But hell yeah man, I’m down to smash some fucking weights.

Don’t you mean 10-60 mins, depending on traffic?
Somewhat unrelated, but a mouse fart in Cambridge could gridlock both 93 and 95.
following for the motivation (JHC you’re a bunch of strong fuckers) and unintentional lols.
I’ll play! Current PR is 515 sumo, gonna test conventional on wednesday. Looking for 545, pulled 502 at a meet 3 months ago and I’ve added at least 50lbs to my squat so there’s no reason my deadlift shouldnt follow suit somewhat. Will post results
Came by to see how everyone’s doing and not seeing a lot of updates. I’ll be pulling tonight. Deficit work probably to around 405. Next week I’ll be hitting a 470 double. Then I’ll be doing two weeks of band pulls followed by PR week for hopefully an easy 520 PR, my last one of the year.
I plan on hitting my deadlift hard now that strongman Nats is over. 600 should go quick
Not a standard dl but proud of this lift and thought I’d share as it was HEAVY and I am pretty sure i am the only sub 600lb deadlifter that got a rep on it lol
Good stuff Kalle! That’s always looked like a ton of fun to me.
Deadlift Day:
Deadlifts on 2" Platform
135 Conv x 5
225 Conv x 5
315 Conv x 3
365 Conv x 3
405 Conv x 1 (PR on Conventional in general, let alone off platform)
405 Conv x 1
435 Sumo x 2
Safety bar box squats trying to work on form and speed
55 x 5
145 x 5
145 + orange bands x 5
145 + orange bands x 5
145 + orange bands x 5
1-Arm DB Rows
110 x 10 each side
120 x 10 each side
135 x 10 each side (used this bar I think is mostly for farmer’s walk… it was kinda awkward because of the length I couldn’t go quite as high as I would with a DB because one end would be touching my hamstring at the top. Still felt good and got more weight than the DBs go up to)
Bicep Work
Here is my deadlift stuff for tonight.
Deadlift training:
Deads:1355,1355,2253 working sets3153,3653,4059(vid, rep pr, did have a few left in the tank), 4551,4751(vid)

11/9/11 Deads. Start of my 1’s week. Had a much damned better deadlifting day than last week. Amazing how that happened when I didn’t max out on powercleans and press first, lol.

Leg press:
some for 3X20. Swolgasm achieved.

yessssss
fresh hardcore goodness before I head to the gym tomorrow
