Hopefully someday. My groin is tender and my knees old.

Those are some HUGE gains if you can hit those numbers! Awesome.
Are you doing 5/3/1 for powerlifting? Are you adding in the heavy singles? Why are you compressing the program so much? Why not just skip the deload? Questions. Questions.[/quote]
I think I was a little cautious my first meet…I’d actually benched 315 in training…if you remember my ‘gym’ set up consisted of my work gym which didnt’ have a rack, so squatting was a tad difficult…deadlift was about the only thing I pushed it on…
I keep meaning to look at the powerlifting 5/3/1 but haven’t gotten around to it. I’m making excuses, but for the past 6 weeks and up until 11/3 I volunteer about 20 hours a week to a youth soccer program. Combined with my 40 hour work week, 3 teenage boys to raise, a wife and mother in law to keep happy, daily horsracing habit and dropping 15 lbs in 6 weeks I get lazy in the gym.
I’m compressing because I’m skipping all assistance work…so…not really sore…lets me get in and out of the gym in about a half hour…by compressing I hope to get 2 ‘cycles’ of the program in plus a day to test my maxes before the 10th…I’m a bear of little brain.

Whore
Maxed out the deadlift today. Got 405 pretty quick and easy, but failed on 435…broke it off the ground, but it was nothing doing.
I think this is 365:
Yes…I have an admirer…
405…th chunky girl in the black singlet in the background is warm for my form…who can blame her??? Try not to be jealous snap…
435…I’m fat and suck…broke the floor…
Okay the guy from Auschwitz is creepy.

He kept doing like sets of 20 half pull ups with the weighted vest. Never seen him before. Probably will never see him again. That’s how it is at the ol’ office gym.
Deads looked good, get chunky girl to cheer you on, Aushwitz guy messed up your mojo. 435 will go soon

I’ve tried to get the chunkster to put on a cheerleaader costume a few times…she’s sometimes less chunky and has a great personality.

I’ll probably lose several nights of sleep over it.
You’ll hit that 435 easy on the platform. The adrenaline and all.
Looking good. Not fat!
The admirer cracked me up. He sure wasn’t shy about staring.
Have you ever tried sucking in air against your belt while standing and then dive bombing the bar, rather than trying to get tight when you are crouched down in the set up? I get all my air in first while I’m standing and don’t breath again on a single until the lift is over. If I don’t do that it costs me 20-30 pounds off my max.

To be honest, my set-up is something I haven’t spent enough time working on to find out what works best for me. Now that I’m thinking about it, I take in air and hold it when I bench and squat, so I’ll give it a try with the deads.
Page 2!?!? Really ?!?! I move to Scotland and the hype dies?!?!?
You got to post to stay relevant.

Hey…it would be cooler if it was a shot put, or hammer, but this tie is pretty darn cool:
