OK, so I wish I had my video camera (which I got ready, then left on the kitchen table). Not to vid the PR’s but to vid the fails.
The 365 came down nice and I had a good push, just couldn’t get thru my sticky point which is about 3-4" off my chest. Spotter brought it up with light fingers (according to him), so I think I have it in me.
The 350 fail was bad setup (IMO). I brought the bar down too fast and just kind of bounced it. I started to lose it to the left and back. Bad set up, bad bar path.
Waited 5 minutes and tried it again (successfully). Good lift off, stayed real tight, brought the bar down slow, touch/pause and explode. Spotter said I all but stopped at my stick point but fought through it and got the rep. He said once I fought through the stick point, it popped right up.
TODO: Work on that pec/tri transition 3-4 inches off my chest (ie. stick point).
I’ll take the 350 for now, but going to try another max after Christmas, before New Years.
I’ll probably have the next 2-3 days off from heavy because of work travel. Need to eat. I actually lost a few pounds here recently.
Alright! big PRs for the hyoooge dude
and nice second effort on the 350, I’m a wimp and stop trying after I fail.
How in the fuck do you do RDL’s for 455? I mean the 340 bench is impressive and all but 455 RDL’s for god’s sake?
Nice work.
Woo Hoo!! Huge PRs! isn’t that a big jump in weight?
Great, great work…

I think it’s leverage. It’s all I can do to deadlift 455 off the floor, but if I start standing with the weight from a rack (with straps), I can handle it fine. I really have to work on picking weight up from the floor.

I would call those SLDL’s then. Just saying. Still great weight. Stretch reflex is a wonderful thing sometimes. Great lifting all around BTW.

You doing cardio twice a day? Is the first bit just for warming up?

Depends on the day and what’s on the schedule.
Sundays I take my kid to Sunday School which is 1/4 mile from one of the gyms I go to. I go walk treadmill and foam roll while I’m waiting (versus driving some miles back home just to go get her again).
Then, after we come back, I eat then go really work out if I’m not taking off that day.
Other days if I have some time or a slow work morning scheduled, I’ll go walk treadmill.
It’s not really cardio for cardio’s sake, but to keep my legs moving to keep my hip from locking up. The more I walk the better I feel-- or, I guess I should say if I don’t walk often my hip tends to lock up.
