^no he got red-lighted for it lol
Excuse my ignorance, but why is it that you have to wait for a signal to rack the weight? Has it always been that way?
You just squatted 900+ lbs., then after that you have to just sit there and wait for a command to rack the weight? Wasn't squatting it enough already? lol

All over the place with squats. Made a couple technical errors on the first set and that drained me. I either need to get my sh*t together or drop the weight a bit.
Benching was absurd. Form wasn't exactly where I wanted it but I felt so strong.

Rules are rules. You let it slide for one lifter, then another lifter complains when they get called on it.
475 should be play weight by now. Guessing you were just off.
In for learning more about RTS. I'm definitely considering doing this or Texas Method after Madcows. I'm guessing you would recommend buying the RTS Manual? Any recommendations for other books, sites, or articles?
[QUOTE=Juggernaut0;1031157333]475 should be play weight by now. Guessing you were just off.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I'll be ok ;)
You gotta realize as well that at heavier weights, things can be very dependent on form and that a couple of mistakes can be very costly.

I thought the RTS manual was a good read even if I didn't actually do the program. Definitely learned some stuff. The Cube Method was a good read as well as I liked how he ranted in there and the information was interesting. Will read again soon.
The old archives on T-Nation is what got me going in the first place. Favorite authors are probably Charles Poliquin, Dan John, and even Chad Waterbury.

Fantastic day. Bodyweight is 203 right now and I am looking to put on another 5-10 lbs.
Next deadlift workout I have to back off a bit. According to the (weight x reps x 0.0333 + weight) formula my theoretical max is 635 right now lol. First time I go 600+ with conventional I might be repping it!

Sweet deadlift PR. Hopefully the improved consistency with deadlifting will help build things up even more.

Awesome deadlift work again.
@Juggernaut, I think the reasoning behind the rack command is to make sure that the lifter has fully completed the lift and is still in control of the weight. If you take a step as soon as you get up or are about to be up then they can't say definitively that you completed the full squat. I've seen people take steps to rack the weight before fully completing a rep on squat.
Another good video and lifting.
solid deadlift work

Thanks dude. Just trying to squeeze out some linear/noob gains for a bit with somewhat of a 5/3/1 style before jumping into more volume work.
515x5 @8.5-9 last week, 545x5 @10 this week, 575 for reps next week? Or deload? I should probably deload lol.

Knowing you, you'll probably do 575 for reps haha. Instead of deloading, you could just do some volume or speed work at a bit lower percentages. Still get to grease the groove without having to take that time off with a deload.

I was thinking about 405x20, or maybe a little on the heavier side and go 495x8. Somehow I'm going to start getting some deficit stuff in too. I've never liked pure speed work either, doesn't seem like I'm lacking in that department.
That's some sexy pulling big guy
545x5 is insane

Didn't you end up performing terribly at your mock meet (relatively, of course lol) after all that? ;)
Probably not going to chase your rep PRs in the >8 range lol. I'd be thrilled with 405x20, just wait a few months when I'm pulling 605x3 :D

Pretty much. TJM was great for my conditioning, not so great for my 1RM.
