4est, Do you have an audio clip of that?
Meat, Nice Job on the PR. That’s crazy.[/quote]
thanks, man!! and he does but I’m sure you will have to turn your computer’s volume up to hear it. Just smack the side of your computer three times to get the volume to go up. If that doesn’t work… grunt four times and then scratch your ass.

Hey meat you are a badass, squatting mid 7’s with bleeding thighs grabbing randmon guys and throwing them on the leg press to knock out some reps, thats awesome.
that sounds like an American Express commercial…
Squatting 735…cost 15 years in the gym
New gym shorts after bleeding threw old ones… $30
throwing random guy on leg press for extra weight… Priceless

Speed and depth felt great on the squats. Since this is a 5 week cycle I’m using 60%,63,65,67,70% as my progression based off an assumed max of 440. I haven’t maxed since the end of Feb, so I figured I’m good for atleast 15 lbs over my previous PR. Arbitrary, but so long as my speed is good, I’m not too worried.
I was going to do front squats as my second movement, but just wanted something different, and remembered one of Waterbury’s complexes from his Blood on the Barbell article. He describes it as so:
"FMDH Lift: Front Squat / Military Press / Deadlift / Hang Clean
With regard to all of the total body lifts that I’ve come up with, this is my favorite since it challenges so many different muscle groups and motor patterns.
Description: Load a barbell with enough weight to military press 10 times. Start with one front squat, then perform one military press, followed by one deadlift, followed by one hang clean. The transitions between each movement flows like fine wine so be sure to use this total body lift whenever you have time, or whenever you’re short on time."
If you ever want to feel out of shape, try this complex. I’m generally not a fan of this stuff…in fact I’m still not a fan, and I won’t be doing this on a regular basis, but it is an asskicking sequence, especially after doing regular squats.

I got the belly covered! Even competing at 200 I try to look the part of a strongman (all powerlifters/strongmen are fatties remember) haha
Ive been hitting the hammer curls, gaining some bicep strength,
I dunno Ive cleaned a 200lb log before, and yesterday even the 165 clean sucked, to bad becuase my pressing felt strong yesterday.
Maybe it has to do with my lower back still being pretty sore from all the rack pulls on Tuesday? Probaly

Notes: Wasn’t too strong today. Probably because I just did mostly the exact same workout earlier in the week. Might need a true deload from the meet as well, I’ll keep my eyes open for signs of needing one.
Decided to throw in some ESW at the end. The circuit was a bit harder than expected. But I took it better than my lifting partner whose been doing meltdown training for the last few months.
Time to start dropping that bodyweight.
-Matt
Well I finally got some board press boards put together today, 1-5, is a 5 board suppossed to be very close to lockout? because for me its still about half range of motion. I knew I had long limbs, but…
I should probably make a six board.
