BombDonald's Powerlifting Log

[BombDonald]

You doing TPRO?

Not planning on it. Raw Nationals or bust.

Pretty epic, as always my man

Haha thanks dude.

Take that vid down now. High squats are a bannable offense around here.

Just showing what I've been up to

Cot Dayuum!

I love the simplicity.

Have to admit.....I have recently tried to take a BombDonald attitude on my approach toward the barbell PLUS....I wore a hat last week in the training room.

Take Care big man.

Yeah I noticed that when creeping through your log, just a lot of basic stuff. I definitely approve lol.

Hats are a must for guys like me who have their hair slowly creeping back at a young age.

Wait, what's your current weight right now? I thought you were currently more than the 205 it says in your stats. I'm only 6 lbs. away from you if that's the case, and that makes me feel bad.

Lol I fluctuate between like 203-208 throughout the week.

damn bro... gettin a little fluffy eh?

[Sven Draconian]

maybe I'll start lifting with a hat. I think that is the key.

All the weight is going to my lats.

It most definitely is.

I noticed this too, I'm not sure what it is. Hat wearing lifters seem to be lifting much much more. Will see if it helps next time.

Hey Bomb,

If I post my video of my 573 from the last meet can you take a look at it and possibly tell me why it didn't go? The 545 seemed like it went easily but no go with 573.

[LegosInMyEgos]

max out your overhead press for lulz. you think you can do more than me?

[Juggernaut0]

Dope pulls, but yeah, that last rep was lulz. Sorry. <3

Wearing a hat while working out increases the risk for SI joint injuries by 237%

Sure thing. I already saw the 545 and that didn't look too hard, but I'll take another look at it. You should post the 573.

max out your overhead press for lulz. you think you can do more than me?

I don't remember how much you can do.

Tried to max out one day for that MISC challenge but didn't post anything about it, hit 205x1 pretty easy then missed 235 after getting it moving a little bit.

Now that I've been doing more incline bench and laterals I imagine it's gotten a little stronger, plus I'm doing kettlebell clean and jerks pretty frequently. I'll try to find a good time to max it soon.

Dope pulls, but yeah, that last rep was lulz. Sorry. <3

Definitely lulzy. Not too worried

Maybe back off on deads for a couple of weeks? Stay below 450 for a couple sets of 5. I think you're lower back would thank you.

[Tom Bro]

Last rep was definitely legit. 3 whites.

[COBBER]

Hey bro, you said in your vid that you're having SI Joint issues. I had SI Joint discomfort for around 6 months, it sucks. Tried lots of things to fix it (physio for months on end/stretching/rolling and nothing helped)...This video solved it INSTANTLY.



Hopefully this helps you as well.

[LegosInMyEgos]

all time PR is 245 me thinks but I grocely fat, like 185 lbs.

Are we gonna have a sexy party? It should be u, me, stig, darren, trettin, hamburgertrain, maybe mkal.

Gotta do something. Don't know if I could justify going that light though. We'll see.

Thanks. Actually saw that video a long time ago when I was first dealing with the SI injuries. Got my SI joint to pop one time and it felt awesome, but didn't seem to alleviate anything long term.

Still sometimes do it though because I like the way it makes my back feel.

So fat.

Should we all get speedos?

I'm about 50/50 for nationals right now.

That would definitely be a rough time after getting back from Russia.

dafuk brah?

LOL. We now see where you really stand with Arian.

Strong session big fella

Are those matched 5RMs?

[arian11]

Lol forgot about you brah. I guess in my mind I left you out since you are broken right meow.

[BombDonald]

I'm liking the wider stance, puts my 545 for 1 to shame.

My back is giving me problems. Squats are not effected by it whatsoever but it's killing my deadlift. I have some plans on how to move forward right now though. Not every week can have me grinding.

Thanks dude, though it seems I can barely pull 545 for 1 right now. I'd much rather have it the other way around

[Juggernaut0]

You've been doin DL's at 90% or higher a lot recently, or at least it seems like it. Backing off does seem to be in order.

Holy cow I feel like I'm going to die. This is the second Friday in a row I've had really bad cold like symptoms and ended up puking after my workout. The rest of the week I feel fine. I really think it's from my apartment being so disgusting, and that I spend extra time there on Thursday nights because I have the night off. Lease is up in 3 weeks and it looks like the old lady and I will be finding a place to live together so that should be nice. Actually getting sick from being in my apartment too long just isn't cool.

We were headed out of town to my parent's house so we stopped at another gym that our memberships worked at. The bars were a little thicker than what I'm used to but it didn't effect me too much. If I would have felt any better I would have played around with the trap bar or the farmer's walk thing they had. Overall it was a pretty awesome place.

Yeah, I need to not kill myself every time.

Cold is still bothering me but I've been downing absurd amounts of dayquil so I'm managing.

Realized today that deadlifts have been affecting my SI joint to a greater degree because of my stance being too close. I'm really not built to deadlift very well, so I can't get away with a really narrow conventional stance like some guys can. Taking a wider stance should allow me to keep my hips closer to the bar which will help take stress off the SI joint. Can't wait to try it out on Wednesday.

Bro.....

Lol, I'll be alright dude. I've known her for like 2.5 years.
