Great work and congrats on the PR.
I really like dead stop bench but, as you noted, it is tough.

I try and set the bar where it would be in the path of my regular bench. The first few sets it was touching my chest just below nipple level.

Make it dips with the chain. Chicks dig dips with a chain.
Absolutely love that reverse band squat max!
You should do the nearby meet. So much fun and very motivating to have a date to train toward.
Yep, chicks dig dips with a chain. Say that three times fast. Serious tongue-twister.

Thanks Mistress Snap! (must be all the chain talk)
I dunno about the meet. I really feel like I’m hitting my stride with training and I feel like I want to ride that wave for a while. If I can add about 50lbs to each lift than I would feel a little more ready.
And now I have that damn tongue-twister stuck in my head!
Wait a second, is this meet being discussed, is that OUR future meet? Or is there another Nova Scotia meet coming up that I don’t know about?
Love the daughter working out! My 14 y/o is hit or miss, but she has really good form. Good for yoy and the daddy daughter time
Pin presses…those always killed my shoulders…but I may just try the pushups w/chain…
How’s Westside treating you…sounds like a bunch of PR’s lately?

LOL! I love it! Not sure which meet is being discussed, but I concur - Git must compete!! Do it.
Nice work in here as always, big guy! I’m with Mainy. Videos! Like of everything! Thanks!

Yeah, it’s your fault mentioning your meet. You say ‘meet’ around here and everyone gets excited. I might come and watch. When is it?

Ya know, pin presses used to aggravate my shoulder too. One of the reasons I haven’t done them much. I not sure if it because my shoulders are healthier or I am getting tighter before I press…probably both.
Westside is working out very well. I can’t say I’m working from a structured plan yet but I love the ME / DE structure. Definitely getting stronger. Eventually I’ll test my maxes to see where I am.
And I love my daddy / daughter time. She is the best.

Stop pressuring me!!!
Hai cutie-pants.
Screw that.
You should do an SPF meet.
We’ll get all kinds of out of control on BBQ and tequila and end up exchanging currency with the International Sisterhood of Pole Dancers union.

I planned on testing my maxes this week. Went to a wedding about 5 hours away over the weekend and drank my weight in bourbon (stupid open bar). Do not test maxes the week after thinking you are still in college. It is very depressing. I’m going to include the competition lifts this next round of Westside or at least do them the week before I plan on retesting.

And also, how do you do your leg curls with the bands??[/quote]
My upper back is pretty toasted right now.
I loop one end of a long band over the weight post, around a support underneath the bench and then loop the other end over the post. Gives great tension at max contraction.[/quote]
Not liking my leg curl set up with the bands, would LOVE if you would post this vid with the one Mainy requested.k thanx, ummm asap legs are in a couple days 
if you have a GHR you could loop em around the base at the front, hop on it backwards and do lying band leg curls.
the meet wont be for a while. were doing the battle of montreal on jan 14, it will be a couple months after. keep in mind that you may not be able to lift in the ipf if you lift in our meet, though

I’ll see what I can do
DE lower
Box squats
250 (67% - a little jump of 5 lbs from last week)
9 x 2
- I’m starting to get this whole “spread the floor” thing. Squats are noticeably stronger when I get it right.
Box squat patterning
bar
x 25
x 20…rest time too short. Legs locked up.
x 25…boring as shit vid.
- friggin swolz. I’ll try for 100 total reps next time.
Banded leg curl
15
10…vid for UpScale. Hope it helps. Also not very exciting.
10
thanks for the vid, but yea I cant do that cause my bench doesnt have the leg part on back.
I really want another bench anyway, believe it or not this bench does not go completely flat so to flat bench i have to put boards under it, such a pain.
