Do you think that double lockout to start your bench attempt messed you up? When you unracked?
Way to get right back at it, it’s gotta suck to prep for a meet and have that crap happen. Don’t dwell, use it as motivation for October.
PG - Thanks bud, I appreciate the vote of confidence I NEED IT!
SCJ - Thanks bro, I think it may have messed with me a little, I really do however think I went to wide with the grip as I couldnt find the rings, or it could be Im just a fragile little rabbit lol. I really am going to use it as motivation and WILL redeem myself in November.
Squat - 315x3x3 315x2x2
Tons of chins, curls and cable rows…fucktastic
Because im a paper fucking Tiger with regards to Power Lifting I made the choice to obtain the services of Adam Hires to help me not be such a tampon at this sport. +Robert Batista turned me on to him and he had a tour de force showing on Sunday. I spoke with him at length yesterday and I am pretty excited about HULK HIRES TRAINING SYSTEMS! shameless plug.

Hammies are fried…I didnt even know I had hamstrings
Welcome to the HTS club, Matt!!! I’m only in week 5 and my strength levels are already improving. I just find it so much easier to make progress when I’ve got someone else doing the thinking and I’m doing the lifting.

I like hammies, I need to grow some myself.
Sorry you’re disappointed with your meet. It always seem to be the little things that can throw things off, but sounds like you are getting your groove back on, good luck.
Is it football season yet?
Dimel Deads-- had to look these up.
Will try.
At the risk of not seeing the obvious, what is a “spread eagle situp”?
Yeah I didnt know what it was either but looked it up…shit I forgot what a situp was!

Its my missing link I believe, the light weight I did with the exercises focusing on the hammies shows me that I really neglected to the point where its holding me back

I always do my Dimmel Deads from a rack set about just below knee. I am too lazy to pick it up off the floor…
Good job on the floor press!
