Well....I am about to clock out of work until 1/2/13....I may be in here sporadically in that time, but not too often. I would like to wish everyone in here a Merry Christmas (or any other holiday you observe) and a Happy New Year.[/QUOTE]

Such. A. Stud.
Watching the video, I definately think you had a 5th rep in you. GJDM. Pulls continue to improve.

I thought the same damn thing. NOt the stud part, I already knew that....but the 5th rep part.

Thank you sir. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas sir. Nice work on hitting 525 for 4 when you just wanted 3.
[B]ME Press[/B]
[B]10" Log Clean & Press[/B]
210 x 1
230 x 1
250 x 1
270 x 1
*This pleased me very much. 240 was my best single up to now (also the best double, but I digress). Cleans went much better as well. The split jerk was not the best form, but the staggered foot position allowed me to be in a rather stable position to lockout in. Still not bad for the first time going really heavy with a split jerk. Also, at about 27 seconds, you can see me hit myself on the chin with the log during the clean....that hurt.
[B]10" Log Strict Press[/B]
180 x 3 (3 sets)
[B]Floor Press[/B]
185 + 80c x 5
205 + 80c x 5
225 + 80c x 5
*Love these....really, really love these.
[B]Band Pressdowns[/B]
Monster Mini x 50 (2 sets)
*That sucked.
This session made me happy. I did this on 12/28/12, which was two days later than wanted, but Christmas travel got all screwed up.

[B]DE Squat[/B]
[B]Squat[/B]
275 + 90c x 2 (2 sets)
315 + 90c x 2 (2 sets)
365 + 90c x 2 (2 sets)
*First time squatting against chain. It was awesome. I really liked it. Sounded cool and is a good way to get work in if you are trying to save your hips for a ME deadlift day.
[B]Front Squats[/B]
225 x 5 (5 sets)
[B]GHR[/B]
BW x 5 (5 sets)
*Tried to focus on the better form. Went ok.
[B]Random Upper Back Stuff[/B]
light pulley work x high reps for 6 sets
Another session that was two days late. Went a bit light as I have a ME deadlift session that is my focus two days after this was performed (on 12/29/12). Not a bad session though.

Thanks Bob.
I hope your holidays are going/went well.
nice work in here. I haven't gotten to squat against a lot of chains. But I like what I've gotten to try. You get the deload without the sketchiness of walking out band tension.
Um Damn, I'm going to try and match everything you did in your pressing workout tomorrow. U done gone and went and got strong. What shows are you going to do this year?
O and floor press with chain is the ****.

I have a host of shows on the map, but the main goal is to not miss more than one event in a contest. I will select 4-5 shows based on how the events match up. The main goal is to get stronger and more proficient at the events. Next year, my goal is to qualify for and compete in Nationals.

Holy balls brah, Hit 300 lb BW already. Nice looking strong man. Congrats on your srs improvement.

[B]ME Deadlift[/B]
*from 12/31/12
[B]Deadlift[/B]
405 x 1
455 x 1
495 x 1
545 x 1
585 x 1
600 x 0
495 x 5 (with straps)
*Goal for the day was to hit a solid single with 585 (a 20 lb PR). Goal was met. Dan called for 600 cuz if I can get the bar to my knees, I can just about lock out anything. Wasn't in the cards. A few more weeks though and I may have a chance at it with a different approach.
I had a decent day training. I was very short on time as I had to get my New Years Eve party on. Goal was accomplished and 600 broke the floor. One bad thing is that I reverted to a couple of bad habits. 545 got so far forward, I had to fight it to lockout. That was dumb.
Although 600 is close, it will be a month or so before I attempt it. I am going to focus on pulling from high blocks to get the feel for the 18" pull I have coming up in a contest.

Thanks Mr Lank. I have to thank all the cows that have made the ultimate sacrifice for my addition of body mass.

Train with Dan, set PRs.

Hey now....my log press PR was all me! It was "No Dan RAW".

I like the sound of "sans Dan" for any PRs that happen at your house. hahah
6 plates!!!!
You trying to win this race to 600 or something???? :p

Sadly, I won't be able to make it down there for a while. It was nice over the holidays as it is close to my Mom's house....but it is a long trip down there and I gotta save some money after a rather expensive holiday season.

So if Morton's a medium does that make me a small? BRB, doubling up on this lunch.

<200 = lil'un.
Unless you are Casey. That is acceptable. For now.
