Well doctors said today I could of died if I hadn’t come in to see them today. Apparently I have accute pneumonia and a respiratory infection. And what did I just do after getting two shots, 45 minutes on a ventilator for breathing treatment, and 4 prescriptions later? At the gym tearin it up, hit a 30 lb PR on bench: 255 for 6. Fuck you pneumonia.[/quote]

This is awesome.

205x6 bench with 40lbs of chains, short term goal of 275 bench by Christmas, and of course 315 asap.

Cambered Bar Box Squats- 550+120lbs of chain. PR because I’ve never done this exercise before… then I had a PR shit in my pants.

You funny motherfucker lol

Thought i was going lower then i was-damn. Feel free to critique my form, I usually have a narrower stance which feels less stable but i can hit depth easier. This time I had my feet as far out in the rack as i could go.

Hit a new squat PR yesterday, 127kg (280lbs) for 10 reps. The old record was 124.5kg (274lbs) for 10.
I’m currently in my second cycle of 531. I have my sights set on 405 x 1 DL next week (531 week).

Well I have just started really trying to powerlift since august. My best bench is 315. My best squat is 455 and deadlift is 495. My non powerlifting move is my leg press which I got 1240.5 for two

PR on band tension for speed work, quaded lights… try it. It sucks:

raw conventional deadlifts, recently hit 140kgx21, 180kgx14.

Nice deads, I had a nice set today also.

450x12 at a BW of 215lbs. I want to max out soon as I think I could break 600 but I keep putting it off because my deadlift training has been going so well I don’t want to change anything up.

good job on the deads bro, 600 is definately a possibility. My max pull is 600, and I beleive my 12 rep PR is 440. just a tip though, you may want to dedicate a few weeks to peaking out that strength, as higher reps dont necessarily have direct carryover to a max lift. work on some heavy five reps sets, and 3 rep sets. also, your last DL session before maxing out Id recomend doing a few singles at 90-95%

first of all yes, you were a bit above depth. If u are trying to widen your stance but having difficulty hitting depth, work on your hamstring and adductor flexibility. Also, if u are simply having difficulty gauging depth, video some of your warm up sets and watch them before your heavy sets so you can see if u are hitting depth, also it helps establish an idea of what depth feels like with your modified stance.

PR from yesterday 385 x 8 squat (+10lbs 8 rep PR)
