First thing I was going to say was “You’d have gotten 5 if your fucking wrap didn’t come undone” haha. Nice pressing man. I think when I get my cage (TONIGHT!) I’ll have it set up in the garage while I work on the gym flooring, and I’ll do some RB benching. Love that shit.
Greg, I like the wraps sometimes but I haven’t felt comfortable enough to wear them in a meet, not sure why. Maybe it’s the whole “I can’t feel my hands” thing or the way I wrapped them I don’t like how the bar sits on some of the wrapping. I’m sure with some practice you’d get them to work. Plus, in the 100% Raw federation, wraps can’t be longer than 18" and that means I need new ones, since the red ones from EFS are just under 24". That’s just my $0.02 on the matter.
Greg - I really like the wrist wraps I have, and would definitely recommend them. The problem on mine is the velcro is coming off, and needs to be sewed back on

Squats n Quads n 1 million degrees
So it was a tad hot in the gym today.
Warm ups
Box squats
135 x 10

bands added
135 x 5
225 x 4
315 x 3
briefs on
385 x 6 x 2 ( 2 on last set - video)
Good shit man. Question…when you put your briefs on, do you run off to the locker room or you just change up in the cage or what? Any time I’d have to run back to the locker room for something, it messes with my head.
Ink - It depends, on fridays it is usually just me in there, or me and some other men so its no big deal to slip the briefs on right there since I am wearing bike shorts underneath them…if its busier and/or there are women, I walk to the locker room, but its only a 10 second walk so its not bad
Back and Bis
Fun day. In and out pretty fast.

Sunday Funday w/quad death
Thought I would go kill myself with cardio today. Flipped the tire first, then dragged the tire. Got a video of the last drag. Hurt my quad a bit on it, you see me pulling with good form, then just kinda stop, then awkwardly drag is the rest of the way. Right above my right knee is a little swollen, but iced it and its feelin better.
Warm ups
Stretch.
Tire Flippin’
2 x 20 paces
Tire Draggin’
2 x 40 paces (a tad embarrassed of this video - action doesnt start till 1:50, was having trouble with the harness - one of the regulars saw me stutter when my right thigh started hurtin, so he came over and started cheering me on, I love my gym)

that sled drag was gnarly! How heavy is that beast? Way to fight on through. Get that quad taken care of big man.[/quote]
Thanks bud, its already feelin better after icing it, just strained it a bit I guess.
No clue how heavy it is. [/quote]
it looked heavy as shit. I’ve done tire drags with a much lighter tire (think regular car tire) but with a 40-70lb DB in there. Thats much more of a run/sprint kind of a drag but I bet that slow super heavy drag destroyed the quads? (not counting the injury obvi)

There is definitely one heck of a quad pump after dragging that thing. I should have filmed the first drag, is was beautiful haha.
Does your gym have any smaller/lighter tires? You should try sprinting while dragging a light one… or what if you alternated between the heavy drag and the lighter sprint? Whooooooooooooooooow!!! That would be killer! I think I just got a “conditioning boner”
Dude, lookout…Greg’s got a conditioning boner again!
That tire pull looked SICK dude, way to push through that shit. You make death look easy man, haha. Hey, if you want to know the weight of the tire, check out any of the writing on the side of it (if it’s still there) and google that shit. That’s what I did when I found a tractor tire on the side of the road a few years ago and put it in my backyard.
Hope the quad is better in time for the next quad death session.
greg - there are a few smaller tires, I have actually done that before
ink - Ill check that next time, and thanks
MiM - its doing much better, thanks internet mom

Heavy Bench
Gawd I am being reminded that I am pretty much starting over on bench. Frustrating. Mondays will now be heavy bench (variation) to get back into it, thursdays will be the hypertrophy day.
Hypertrophy day, eh? You thinking about showing your stuff on stage?
Regarding gearing up in the gym . . . I once just whipped my shirt off in prep for the bench shirt right in the middle of the gym. My coach was a bit surprised, I think. Of course, I did the same thing at my meet a few weeks back. No time for modesty.
