how did 495 feel?? heavy as shit. I preach to everyone to get a liftoff and i go and break the rule. my training partner went out of town and i didn’t trust anyone there to give me a liftoff. i won’t be doing that again.
thanks for showing me the error of my ways. I guess I’m a bit prude:)
Notes: Great working out with Modi today…even if I misloaded his 397.5lb 2 board attempt. Looking forward to future training sessions together.
I can’t express how suprised I was by 290 attempt. The most I’ve touched on any barbell bench movement in the last 3 months or so is probably 255. The elbow flare on the 290 was terrible and stalled a good few seconds before lockout, but it got up there. I weighed in at 202-203 today and the last time I’ve hit anything near that I was at around 215, so I’m certainly pleased.

Yep, that was a great lockout, even if it did look like a bodybuilder Bench rather than a PL bench.
No worries on the misload. I didn’t try hard enough on that rep anyways. Just happy to hit the 395 attempt.
I’m definitely up for training in the future. Good stuff today.[/quote]
Haha, thanks buddy.
Looking forward to future sessions…next time bring your Ipod and we’ll kill it.

Good pressing by all
Hey Modi thanks for the whore sheet though I did fell like I had to take a shower after deleting all your sleaziness.

No problem Kalle. Hopefully you can do it proud.
Remember my strategy. Whenever you are feeling down and not very whoreish, just pick an exercise you’ve never done (like my 2 boards) and everything that day will be a PR. lol.

It is. That is why I don’t even try to to it on Monday. I don’t feel like waiting a hour for a bench.

Same here. That’s why I changed the days from the standard template. You can’t buy a bench on Mondays, but you can have the rack every day![/quote]
Or, you can just bench in the power rack! No one is ever using it, you won’t have to get a spotter, AND you get to bench.

you need to do like i do… walk up to a bench and say “you don’t mind if I work in with you… do you??” after maybe a set or two, they just leave.

That’s because you bench more than 2x of what most commercial gym-goers squat.
B) 14" Rack Pulls (Pin #2) with mini-bands
135x10
225x8
315x6
365x6
365x6
365x6
C) Cybex Isolateral High Pull
2 platesx10
3 platesx8
4 platesx6
4 platesx6
4 platesx6
Speed felt good on Squats today. I didn’t use the box, just did them free style.
I tried to get creative with the rack pulls. I was in a squat rack rather than a cage today. I looped the minis around the bottom of the rack 3 times and then doubled them over the bar. There was only 6" between where I looped it and the bar, so tension increased very quickly on these. The last couple reps on each of the 365’s were pretty taxing.
Overall good lift. This is my last one for at least 10 days, unless I find a gym overseas that’s worth training at.
Elbows and knees are feeling a little tender, so a week off won’t kill me, and I’m sure I’ll get more than enough calories in next week. Although I’m not sure beer calories are exactly the best option.

Great strategy! I’ll have to remember that. I’ll do it proud although I did have to add some real lifts to it like Log and axle overhead, log and axle strict press, powerclean, etc

I saved a blank copy if anyone wants it btw[/quote]
Hey that shit is copyrighted, you can’t just distribute it as you please. And I’m still waiting for my royalty check, by the way.
Powercleans should have been on there. I have done them semi-recently…now I’ll have to go back through my training log and find out what I did.

Could you send me a copy in a PM. I’ll put this to good use after the meet as I’ll have some time to work on more traditional ME lifts. Modi, I’ll send you my $0.01 check at the end of the month. Gotta pay bills first, ya know.

Good luck with the PM, it hasn’t worked yet. I’ve only been able to send it via e-mails. But keep your damned penny…obviously this isn’t my ticket to retirement, now I’ll have to find another way to make money.
Good luck with your meet, can’t wait to read about it. I should have access to a computer while I’m in Budapest, if not, then definitely in Prague. So you guys don’t have to go a whole week this time without my charming presence.
Looking forward to future training sessions together.
