5 reps with 5lbs under my best bench from my previous meet today. Getting really excited for bench now, hope to bench 20lbs more than last meet.

[YourGunShowTix]

i had a pretty solid meet this weekend. Went 8/9 and totaled 1587 at 220. Full meet write up in the video section.

Biggest shock to me was the lack of a deadlift bar. I assumed we were going to pull on a texas dl bar. Instead it was an eleiko bar.

Someone commented on Eric L's video saying he might be the strongest in the country, then he replied "My raw total without wraps is higher than anyone's raw total with wraps in the entire country." Blew my mind that I never even thought about this. With all the bullshiit trashy things that have come out of their team, there's still no one in North America that even comes close to him with wraps. And without wraps there's no one in the world that can touch him.

I think hes competing soon without wraps again. So he might even increase that number. He is, without question, one of the greatest lifters right now.

iirc he's going to be doing the UPA National Champs the 16/17th of April in sleeves.

Just enjoy the show man

Yeah, that sounds right. Cool


Also, Ohio Power Bar is pretty much the best for the money, right?

OHP 20kg version. Still love the bar! Bar has taken a lot of abuse (not intentionally trying to break it but I'm not gonna be gentle when I deadlift) with a fair amount of 500+ missed squats on safety bars and it's still straight!

2400 no wraps would make him an immortal.

The fuk you missing reps for mane

The fuk you missing reps for mane

I sometimes have an issue with how I get out of the hole. I don't always raise my shoulders with my hips. Bar then pitches forward.

I have realized a lot of it I'm sure is coming from the setup. Somedays I can unrack 495 and don't feel a thing. Then unrack 465 and it feels like a tank. The days I failed it was on those "heavier" days.

Cheater squat training, heaviest I've ever gone in the suit. Really need to stop being cheap and get more metal plates.

I'd just really like to see him put up a monster total in a meet where his "team" aren't the spotters, loaders and judges.

If it feels heavy as fuk then don't push it. If it feels light then take it. Missing reps and inconsistent setup is a quick way to stagnation.

Also- quads, abs, glutes. Train those all directly and often.

She's getting there, couple inches maybe. Have you gone straps up at all yet? Usually if the straps are a bit loose it makes it easier to handle, so long as the legs and hips are nice and tight. Also I've found that having the belt higher in the front prevents it from binding up and makes it easier to get down.

Personally I don't like straps down training, feels fuked up, I just do heavy raw+ cheater wraps and then go full suit straps up as the time comes.

[dang111]

Was about an inch away from leaving the gym needing dental work today. Lost 425 on bench pretty quickly. If I hadn't turned my head it probably would've hit me. Thank god for strong spotters lol.

Stay safe brah. Ive had guys dump the bar basically at lockout, there's almost nothing the spotters can do in a split second. Make sure your face savers are in place and set properly, those things save lives.

Wrist wraps belts and knee wraps are bad enough dread to think about suits plus we are limited on selection unless you risk import tax from Murcia

Thanks for the pointers. Definetly a lesson for me to learn. It hasn't been a lot but i do admit, when I miss a high end squat it takes a couple weeks to recover.

Once this meet is over with I have to get surgery which will take me out of lifting for a month. I do need to make unracking a priority and actually stick to putting the bar back if I unrack/walkout improperly.

Dude these wraps are no more expensive that in the US

suits: same thing if not cheaper: http://www.pullum-sports.co.uk/cloth.../prod_103.html

[InItForFitness]

finally pulled over 700 in a meet, so happy right now... did 326kg on my 3rd attempt and missed 335kg(740) at lockout on my 4th @220

planned to sandbag my squats and leave more energy on bench&deadlift which definitely would've helped with that last attempt, but I had another pretty strong guy in my group so I had to look out for my total as well

Forever mirin IG lifts.
Makin me feel pathetic as fuark :/

My girl's neck has gotten pretty strong/swoled up since we got together...but I'm not sure you'd be interested in her training protocol...
