Hey, Mighty. What’s up? How are did your meet go/your hormones? What did you total, and what was your individual lifts?

I am signing up for a meet in the fall, I’ve pulled 390X2 twice the first time I could do it for a triple a few weeks ago, and this time (last friday) I smoked it and pulled it with perfect form and could probably easily do 390X4. Some people noted I had perfect deadlift form (legitimately strong people did. They were really nice. :slight_smile: ). My squat has just been volume work/frontsquats/boxsquats since I have been running Coan phillipi. And I have benched 270, and got 245X2 close grip. I am also up to 184 now at 5"8.75. [/quote]

Hey man! Meet went pretty good! I have video of the whole thing at the top of this page with all the info. Hormones are still something I’m dealing with. How about yourself?

Good job on the weight gain. You’re not a fatass now are you? I gotta make sure your deadlift doesn’t get higher than mine!

Uh, they seemed to be normal then got suddenly worse recently. I’ll go to the doctor, and push to get my hormones tested. I also have another thing (something related to my digestive system) I need to get checked out, so I will probably go this week for each.

Hah, I am still not a fat ass. I am pushing it though, I still have some abs while unrelaxed, but I plan on maintaining my weight and seeing if I can recomp over the summer (I want to work on my squat before the fall meet I have planned so I am doing that instead of cutting). I guess you could say I am becoming “full house”. lol

Oh, if your recovery can take it I recommend try coan phillipi. It has really helped hone in on my form and weakness off of the floor with my really stiff troy barbell. I pulled a double that was a PR and 5 pounds off off of max, and I think I could of gotten it for a three. This was in week four of the program.

I will be pulling 20 pounds over my previous max for a double this friday, and I think I can do it.

And yes, you should really push to stop me from out pulling you. :wink:

Hope you get your health sorted out. You’re to young for that shit! And I dunno about that deadlift routine! Maybe if I stall, but we’ll see what happens.

906

Hey Mighty…when you do your floor presses do you use the same grip as you do for your regular bench ?

907

Nice on the goals.

We start our playoffs this weekend.

Yep, close grip with the index fingers right at the smooth part. I try to make it as similar to my bench as I can.

Thanks bud! I dont really score a ton but that was my second 2 goal game this session.

How is your team doing? What about you?

909

Do you practice your floor presses with legs out flat to eliminate leg drive too ?

910

Nope, I keep my knees up which allows me to get an arch. That and they can get in the way if I keep them straight! Although it would be kind of funny if someone tripped over me…

911

Do you ride your stick after scoring or do back spins on the ice? Do you act like you have been there before or do you go cray cray.

That’s because you act like you’ve scored before in your life.

We lost our first playoff game, now it’s win or go home.

We’ll find out Friday night.

Hey, could you drop me an email at the address in my hub? I have friends moving to Dallas and they’re looking for hockey league info.

914

I was right, I got 415X2 for the deadlift. It was with shitty form though, so I am kind of displeased that I got myself worked up enough for the set that I couldn’t keep my form solid. Off to go pull 435+ in a couple weeks! :slight_smile:

Shit, Imma have to start pushing my deadlift so you dont beat me! Nah…I’ll coast for a while and let you have some glory first!

I’ve got more of a deadlift build so I guess a little longer than usual but…I think my wingspan is pretty much the same as my height. Maybe just a little longer.

Great on that front squat PR. What benefits are you getting from the front squats for your lifts? Also, I started a log up if you want to check it out.

Thanks! IMO the front squat builds my high bar, and the high bar builds my low bar. I just think in general the front squat is a pretty badass exercise so therefore I do it!
