hey hoss…i’m jealous of your BW dips too…and i’ve been doing hanging clean and press in my wrkouts, (u didn’t notice…
i don’t know if there is such a thing, but i try for strict form @ 60 lbs. the ‘hang’ means your starting position is bent over holding BB at your knees. also, when i get the weight up to my shoulders, i bring my arms parallel to the ground and push straight up, it targets your tri’s extra good at that point (or at least i can feel the burn extra good there) it is a great move-i highly recommend it.
and that video was impressive, albeit a little scary…

I had no idea what a hanging clean and press was until just now. Honestly, I’m not sure I can press 60# yet. I know I can press 50#, though.
if you don’t have a dip belt you could give these a try. with these you can put a plate or two on your lap. after doing these for awhile, repping bw should be easy.

Nice pulling there, and I agree with the dog, the bear, and the spider said. If you can squat 100 for three you can absolutely do 105 for one.[/quote]
Indeed, this is my mission for this week. Thanks for the encouragement!
If pushmepullme can show off her deadlift bruises, so can I. The view as I put my feet up on my coffee table. Apparently, I’m not the most coordinated lifter on the planet, and sometimes during my speed work my knees and shins don’t get out of the way quite in time.

Heh, Kimba it’s not coordination that’s the problem. I have a couple of those, too. I get them mostly on my shins, though. It’s like emo gone wrong.

I plead guilty to getting a little…carried away. :)[/quote]
bleeding lets out the weakness.
mom was aghast the first time she saw my shins this summer after a deadlift day… all, “HOW can you let that happen to yourself! doesnt that hurt!?” shes cute. like the calluses on my hands… i’ve earned every single one of them, and i like showing em off.
Ah, me too.
It’s weird, but I’m proud of my calluses & bruises. Moms hate 'em, lifters appreciate 'em.
“I am a shieldmaiden and my hand is ungentle.” (forgive the extreme nerdiness, it’s Tolkien.)
Anyhoo, you’re doing something right, Kimba.

My boyfriend didn’t want me to wear a skirt when I first started deadlifting because he was afraid people would accuse him of beating me.
Eventually it stops happening, but it’s fun to show off while it is [/quote]
Back squats to 4 risers plus a step
Bar 1 x 10 warmup
75# 1 x 10
90# 1 x 10
105# 1 x 10 <—take THAT you bitch-bar
110# 1 x 5 <–PR +5# to legal depth
65# 1 x 20
I don’t know what my fucking problem was last week, but today 105# felt easy. Form felt good too, maybe some knee cave but it totally did. not. suck. Form on 110# was also decent. YEAH!
Bench Press
70# 1 x 10, 1 x 7 (failed on 8)
65# 1 x 6 (failed on 7)
Eh.
Lunges holding 10# plates
1 x 30 each leg
Seated Overhead Press
Bar 1 x 10, 1 x 6 (failed on 7)
Again. Eh. Did one rep better on the second set than the last time I tried this after bench.
Leg Press
3 x 15 reps, don’t remember the weight.
HS Overhead pulls (independent handles)
some for some
Bicep curls
12.5# 10 or so
Lots of ab work
I was so excited about the squats. Definitely made my day!

Thanks Bobbi! I am almost at my short-term goal of clawing my way back up to my previous (cheated depth) PR of 120#. After I get there, I’ll have to re-evaluate my strategy. Maybe put my squat and bench on 5/3/1 and commit fully to that program.
EDITED TO ADD: I went back in this log to discover that my former cheated-depth squat PR was actually 125 for 5 reps. So I’m 15# away from getting back to where I thought I was months ago.
