Wrist wraps bro. You have them in your avi.[/quote]
YOU DON’T GET US
even with krait wraps on I can’t bb curl, something with my ulna hurts when my wrists are supinated and extended to the side that much under heavy load. DBs are usually fine though

Yeah I know what you mean. Dude it must be bad though if EZ bar even hurts sometimes.

Are you going to create your own peaking cycle or use something like that russian power?

One does not merely hit one’s self in thy junk. I occasionally hit myself slightly, I am not sure how I hit myself/not hit himself I think it has to do with the stance/line of pull. I never seem to hit myself if I use my close conventional stance which is hip width.
“if you’re going through hell, keep going”
a callous will form
Assess your hand placement. Ballshots aren’t concomitant with snatch grips. They are gruesome enough alone!

AHAHAHA
Pfft… I use the same damn hand placement as what I would use for a real snatch. I think that is as wide/narrow as it needs to be. Middle finger on the rings of one of those chrome barbells. (not a power bar though)

Seated Behind the Neck Press:
45 10x
95 10x
135 10x
135 10x
I bought into the whole “behind the neck presses are the devil” schtick for years, and even after I didn’t think that I never bothered doing them anyway. I was conservative with them, because they did start to hurt my shoulders pretty badly. At the same time though they felt amazing if that makes sense. Like they hurt because my shoulder mobility is utter shit, but I also felt some muscle in my shoulder that I have never felt before. Seriously they hit some part of my delt that felt like it had never been used in my entire life. I’m gonna do these every Saturday.

3/25/2013

45 10x
135 5x
185 5x
225 5x
275 5x
315 3x
345 1x
385 3x This was actually really tough for me. Like very, very hard. Oh well, at least I did something. That’s still the heaviest triple I’ve ever done to actual depth on squat.
Leg Press:
5pps 10x
6pps 10x
6pps 10x
6pps 10x
Lunges:
Did 2 trips down and back across the gym with just an empty barbell on my back
Hyperextensions:
5 sets of 20
Pin Presses: Just because
Did these laying on the floor with the pins set as low as they would go in the rack.
135 2x
185 5x
225 5x
275 5x
315 3x
365 2x
405 2x Second rep was very tough.
435 failx This literally didn’t even move lol. Like it was nailed the fuck down. I’m a bit surprised actually, because my PR on this is 425, which was a while back, so I thought I’d be strong enough. What I think it was though was that second rep with 405. That just totally gassed me out.
405 1x Did another set at 405. The first rep flew up. Honestly I would say the level of ease was about equivalent to me deadlifting 315. So I was like “well I obviously have a second”. Nope. Didn’t even budge. This is a crazy exercise. It’s totally different from any other lift I’ve done in that you can smoke a rep, but be utterly spent instantly. Was a mindfuck.
Deadbench:
Had a bench set up in the rack with pins somewhere between 1 and 2 board height. Did a couple singles with 315. I actually sucked really bad at these I feel like. I’m considering doing these as an actual assistance lift. I mean the pin presses were just bullshit for the fun of it, but this exercise I feel like may actually help.
I actually am really happy with my squat today. I’m just in a foul mood about powerlifting in general. I see guys in the 198’s and shit squatting 600+ and I’m just like “wtf how?”. And like I said last time these motherfuckers have smaller upper bodies than me and they are paused benching like 385 or some bullshit. Pisses me off.
Lol yeah, rack lockouts are a special type of fun. It is like floor presses where you have to be fast to even get it started, but also requires you to grind. I like rack lockouts off the floor at the lowest (#1 pin which is about a half inch to an inch above floor press level) to #3 pin (each pin is about 2 or so inches I think) along with floor presses to build my mid-lockout area and give me the brute strength to grind at that point.
Good job sir Csulli. How much do you weigh and how tall are you?
