2x8 hanging leg raises, done without using no momentum at all, strict movement ftw

Few PR’s actually, pulled a totally raw 375 sumo deadlift (no belt), front squated an easy 225 (+20), and very strictly OHP’ed a not so easy 185. I’ve also decided my squat sucks, and shouldn’t be 10 lbs more than i can bench, so i’m going to give smolov a shot. any recommendations?
That overhead press is pretty good. Was that standing? Not many people have posted OH pressing more than their bodyweight - that I’ve seen, anyway. You still weighing 180?
Nice work.[/quote]
Thanks! Yeah it was standing, i’m actually a little closer to 185 now, i’m at like 183/184 depending on the day, so it was bodyweight! Which has been a goal of mine for a while.
No video but I squatted 245 (at 121 body weight) last night training at a new club. The guys loaded the bar and didn’t tell me what was on it. The first attempt I wasn’t in the groove. I had them rerack and had an immediate do-over. It was heavy but I can go heavier I think.
This looks good for my next meet in two weeks 
Benched 275 off a 2-board today.
haven’t squatted heavy in awhile. we’ve been getting ready for a push/pull meet so most of the squat days have been RE stuff.
decided to work up to some moderate weight on some paused squats. they actually felt very light and i felt like i could pause it for a long time. it’s good to know that the squat is still there.
600x2- paused at pins

…But when are you going to start lifting something heavy?
Squat
325x7 (+2 reps)
Anderson squat 4" below parallel
305x4,4 (+3 reps and +1 set)
my rear parts are somewhat fatigued now…
Last Sunday, I hit 260 kg (573 lbs) on squat in titan dual quad briefs & metal black wraps. First 3x body weight lift for me.

maybe next week i’ll hit a 700lb squat… just for you:)
This is an odd, non PL PR. 75 bodyweight chin ups in 15 minutes. 15 sets of 5 with 60 seconds between sets. I did sets until my final one was pretty dodgy.
bench cycle is going very well. i hit 455x3 touch and go tonight. should have had at least 4 but i let out my air at the end of the third and flattened out. i always preach to my guys to hold their breath for the entire set and then i go and screw up.
i also hit a 20lb PR for a 3 sets of 5 on the 4 board with 545.
good session and getting stronger.

thanks!! bench is finally moving.
Hit a new DL PR - 425lbs. It went up pretty smooth. I think I had a little too much time off between my heavy rack pulls and this lift. I’ll try for 435 in 3 weeks.
Here it is with a little extra footage from our Saturday training at Coach Staley’s Bed and Barbell.
Enjoy!
From our session dec 13th. just before a 2 week holiday break. Hit 545 from just over 2inches below knee. It was +120lb PR. The 545 is the second pull you see me do… the real slowwwww one.
Id only done rack pulls from here once before about 4.5 months ago before my first meet and squeeked out 425. Amazing how strength comes in waves sometimes…

I’m not a video type guy, and I’m new. Last Feb I set one true PR (Benched 350) and one pseudo PR (Deadlifted 500). I benched 350 shirted and sumoed 500 in my 20’s. I deadlifted 505 in a meet last July, I was impressed b/c it was outdoors, hot and I started to dehydrate.
Definitely not record breaking but not bad for a dude in his 40’s, with an arthritic knee, and took the last 10 years off of serious training to start a career and family.
I feel like I am will set new PR’s b/c I have been following a Sheiko routine, second time, and my lifts are becoming easier.
maine open iron bash meet? i did that one which was outdoors ha[/quote]
lol. That was quite an experience. IDK why, but I never figured out that it was going to be outside until the day before. I learned not to wear all black and maybe like Chris Popovich, to wear sunglasses when benching. I thought I was going to go blind.
No meet in the immediate future. Yesterday was the Skill eval from the 5 week Sheiko.
Last competition squat was 455, I doubled it easy yesterday, and pushed my bench PR up to 355. I’m very happy b/c my training since July was very inconsistant
