How did the shoulders feel with the 205?
SLing shot on incline?
[QUOTE=Black_Spit;976205153]Pec feeling a little better. Gradually working the weights back up a little. Goal today was work up until it hurt a little (but still bearable) and then 3x6,6,8.
Incline Bench-
45x25
135x8
135x5
185x3
205x6
205x6
185x8
Add Slingshot-
275x5
225x10
225x10[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=bigwade800;975127913]Declines, go light and work on tough point, must be lower and keeping the weight stable and controlled. The bigger weights will come.[/QUOTE]
Y u no follow directions?

Only after the 3 work sets. You don't approve? I just assumed it was fine...

Over email Wade told me to ditch the Declines and try the Inclines since they seem to not bother my shoulders.
He's wary of Inclines due to shoulders, but said I seem to be responding to them.
My shoulders have been feeling good...
I have also been warming up better and doing more reps in my acclimation sets as well
oOoo...how is the Slingshot?
[QUOTE=B1GinNY82307;976220503]oOoo...how is the Slingshot?[/QUOTE]
I like it I guess. Basically today it allowed me to use the same weight on Incline (275x5) that I used before I pulled the muscle 2 weeks ago.
So that's useful. I guess you could say it has helped me train uninterrupted while the pec heals up...
It's not approval, just wondered if you did Slingshot on the incline and how the shoulders responded.
Like I said in e-mail, with Rich, the decline angle bothered his biceps, then the wide grip on incline bothered his shoulders. Putting the grip in on incline to match the decline, seemed like magic. So, it's really finding a plane of pressing that works.
If it becomes chronic, I would simply not press on the 2nd day at all for a few weeks. Do the assistance and train around the injury.

I believe this issue is from a pre-exisitng injury that keeps flaring up. I do a ton of warm-up as well and it seems to help me a great deal.
It's funny- on the Incline with the slingshot I feel nothing toward the bottom. No stretch, nothing. So yeah, it feels good bc the aggravated area doesn't get further aggravated.
That, to me, is the beauty of the thing. I did a field test for Mark with the first version and wrote a review for him. I told him more than an overload tool, we felt it was best utilized as a prehab/rehab tool. Josh and I benched pain free and Josh has just come off bicep tendon surgery. Like I told you in e-mail, if you want to bench heavy, I would recommend getting on of these.
Which one do you think for me? The red that I've tried out, the blue or the mad dog?
Stick with the red one

True story. If it isn't broken don't try to fix it.
Waiting on the report...
As am I.....
Good day today. I hit a pretty good Deadlift PR. Worked up to 555, and it wasnt too heavy or anything, but my grip was slipping. Then I went up to 565, and I thought, "ok patience" and just said it over and over bc I knew that's why my grip wasn't 100% locked in on 555. 565 was a little slower than 555 probably, but still very smooth like normal for me, and the grip was much better and the lift was just better. Unfortunately my sons iPod stopped recording on me. :(
Oh well-

By the time I had 555 on there, half the gym was looking at me like I had two heads. Including a trainer. It was kinda weird bc srs they were all staring at me. Remember I'm at a suburban YMCA @ 5:00 AM. Powerlifters ate not the normal demographic in there...
E-Statter!!!!!!!
Nice job Jeremy :)
EDIT: I need to pull 570 in 5 weeks now :D
deadlift PR!
Nice man.
Now, watch the video, there is two issues...I'm nitpicking, the bigger deal, 2-pr's, however, still room for improvement...let's discuss.

1) Right leg not locked out. I noticed it and corrected it on the 565 PR.
2) Lack of Ogre Wear Clothing?
Why take a 10 lb jump on deadlift selections? Did programming call for two heavy singles?
LOL...
You are right, at the top and it will give the hint of a hitch...just be patient. YOu've pulled the weight, don't rush, get it locked out clean.
Now, from the time you touch the bar, give me a count of how long you are down before you pull...

Basically wade just asked for a 5lb PR. Then if I felt good another was acceptable, just don't go crazy.
and...he's a head case...

Patience! I wish I had video of the second bc I was channeling wade johnson on the 565 pr repeating "patience and execution" to myself.
[QUOTE=bigwade800;976725343]and...he's a head case...[/QUOTE]
Am not.
I just have to wear the same socks to the gym every day without washing them... Does that make me a head case?

Maybe :p
You must be brave Jeremy......you like going rogue on Wade's program and you're within arm's reach of him.....I live 12 hours away and do as I'm told :o
solid pulls sir!
The big deal here is your form is ever improving and then 6 weeks after a meet, a 5 and then 15 pr in a 5 am session. It's a bigger deal that you have still very much room to improve.

Yeah....but if you pull a 5 lb PR (per plan), then pull another PR 10 lbs higher....that is doing twice the work and setting your next PR attempt higher. I am not an awesome puller, but moves like that seem to me as though they could hinder more than help.
