Also my training partner hit a very solid 500lb snatch grip deadlift with no belt today. That has been a goal of his for a little while now.[/quote]
Brian Chia?[/quote]
The one and only. Best training partner they make. The guy is a fiend. Trains twice a day every day. Does 1000 snatches a week, 200 pullups a day, a hundred handstand pushups a day, can deadlift over 600 at a bodyweight of 181, and is a lean sonofabitch to boot.[/quote]
He seems like a cool guy judging from his videos.

I just need to know if Brian shrugged 900# too? Add it to the card routine next time, lol [/quote]
No he doesn’t do that lol. And I don’t blame him, last time he tried heavy rack pulls he messed up something in his hip and low back and stuff. I’d feel terrible if he got injured doing my stupid shenanigans and couldn’t work on his oly lifting.
Also I wouldn’t object to adding it to the card workout haha! Rack pulling 900 is easier than doing 10 burpees imo. Dead serious.

One arm axle snatch. DUN DUN DUN.[/quote]
Oh shiiiiiit! What a great idea! Now I have actually 1 handed snatched 135, but I have never ever tried it with an axle. That will be nuts lol.
I am going to do your close grip BP hell sets and rep scheme for my next tricep day. I don’t think skull crushers and cable pull downs are doin it for me at the moment.

Careful, Beth. That there be a minor. Sorry, bro lol.
Squat:
45 10x
135 5x
225 5x
285 5x
325 5x
365 1x
385 1x I realized I hadn’t gone over like 350 in forever on squat, so I was happy to hit a heavyish single today.
Safety Squat Bar Squats:
225 5x
225 5x
225 5x I kinda don’t like these. For me this is just like doing squats with your back rounded into the fetal position. Not the best. Gotta be said.
Front Squats:
185 5x
185 5x
185 5x first time legitimately trying front squats. Weight felt easy on the legs of course, but I have a lot of work to do on these. I never did get it in a good rack position. I used the cross arm technique, but I was really just holding the weight against myself with my arms and doing what I call a “bad morning”. I’m sure you all can figure out what that would look like from the name, but it’s basically a good morning with the bar in front of you instead of on your back.
Reverse Grip Bench: training partner did bench and was goofing off with the bar using reverse grip, so I decided to seriously use reverse grip.
45 10x
135 10x
185 5x
225 5x
275 1x I did try a second, because the rep was easy, but I took the weight down much too high and missed the second rep. The groove for these is SO much lower than traditional grip benching. It was very hard to break the habit of hitting my chest where I always have. I found that I really needed to hit about 4 inches lower on reverse grip (which is literally down on my stomach). Anyway, I think I’ll play around with these some more in the future. I’m sure I can rep 275 if I get used to the form a little bit.
Also they’re scary as hell. The weight feels like it’s going to roll out of your hands directly on your face or neck.
Close Grip Bench:
275 2x
275 2x
Mixed Grip Bench: Yep.
135 20x (switched hand position mid set to keep things balanced obviously)
DB Incline:
75’s 20x
I honestly didn’t intend to do a bench workout today. This just kinda happens sometimes.
DB side raise front raise combo things:
20’s for a couple sets of 15
You know what I mean? You do a lateral raise and then bring your arms forward without letting them down and then let em down in front of you. Then you do a front raise and bring your arms back without letting them down and let em down when they are at your sides. I did those.
Ab wheel:
Couple sets of 10. Did em standing, but used a ramp on a bit of an incline to make it easier at the end of the range of motion. I’m going to progressively work toward doing them on even ground from the standing position.

That is why I got too scared to front squat anymore. Cause Christian thebedeui said you were supposed to remain totally upright and I couldn’t even come close to that.
Your back is somehow supposed to be like | <— that.

HOW IN THE HELL???[/quote]
I find I can get to a \ and still complete a rep.
If you try to stay too | sometimes you / and then __
Most important thing is to lay off the fibre before squatting, or \ , can happen
