Cutting blows - The chronicles of Newbtime

[sheepyd]

Is that really a good OHP? I really dont even know whats strong on over head press....i thought it was pretty weak. Fresh I think i could overhead press 300 for a couple.

not sure what i can flat bench now, but i feel a big improvement is coming from focusing directly on my biggest weak points consistently. I'd be pretty damn happy if I were able to pull off a 440 ish paused bench before im 20 (7 months).

Well 270x5 would hopefully put you over 300, depending on technique and core strength. Which is pretty damn sick. 400lbs is kinda the freakshow OHP these days. Only a few strongmen would be capable of it I think. And heavy (242+) benchers who train it (Vinnie Dezenzo (sp?)).

615x3 was a realllyyyy good set, I dont know why but I decided to lower my bar position today and it greatly helped my strength. A high bar is no longer a good option for me... i dont know if its because my lower back strength and core strength has greatly improved, and improved beyond my quad strength... but my squat form as of late has not been good so i decided to change it a bit. Overally it felt way better and if I squatted 645 high bar on a bad day, 675 wrapless is well on its way.

[sheepyd]

Fcuk man, your low bar looks solid. Your knees were sliding forward on the first rep in your first coupla sets, but 595 and 615 were locked in and so damn fast. Nice power on the last rep of 615 man, thought it would be way slower after you came outta the hole.

[sheepyd]

(this is my actual response, ignore the commentary above).

Also ur gay, stop using fake plates and squatting high and shti.

Also steroids. Lottttts of steroids.

thanks man, the difference between this set and 610 last week is huge, and ive dropped 2.5 lbs since my last squat workout ontop of it (yes OCD) the last rep of 615 today was faster then the first of 610 with the higher bar. I have the same power out of the hole, but ALOT more midrange/lockout power....like I said, I dont know if its because my core strength and lower back strength have greatly improved.. but low(er) bar used to be way weaker, now its way stronger. but racking the bar lower then usual just seemed natural today so i gave it a shot... didnt really plan it or anything lol.

[sheepyd]

Also you make me sick.

Low bar always feels really comfortable to me.

How wide is your stance (relative to shoulder width)?

And when the hell are you gonna compete?

Incline benching was REALLY strong today, over head press not so much, probably from the deadlifts from a couple days ago.... pretty surprised at how much core and upper back is involved in putting a bar over your head.

[SecondSucks]

I actually stopped Pandora just to listen to Whitney. The things you do to my heart.... <3

[Baby_Hulk]

Yeah overhead **** can be a bitch when they're locked out... my core shakes like crazy whenever I pause one out over my head. Have been thinking of doing overhead squats to gain some core stability, but I don't have the flexibility for that yet.

Kinda crazy when you watch oly lifters lock the weights they do out over their head... their torsos are rock solid.

yea holding more weight then you can bench over your head takes enormous amounts of upper back and core strength....

Form kinda all over the place today. everything felt heavier then normal. Next workout I will double 640. I could of done that today but I just left it at that. Don't like pushing myself with heavy weights when things already feel heavy... I find I start burning out pretty quickly when I do that.

When i pulled 680 from the floor after maxing my squat at 645 a while ago..i missed a 690 block pull from the same height about a week or two later... like not even close missed... and im not getting that little bit of flexion because its a rack pull not a block pull... so I have made some pretty good progress since then... im planning to max my pull in about 4 weeks and Im shooting for atleast 710.

how steep of an incline? I dont go super steep... probably about 30-35 degrees. any more than that and its too steep imo.


Im probably good for around a 435 bench on flat.

Today didnt feel strong at all but I still wanted to see where I was at because I hadnt done a heavy single in a while. I could have squeezed out 660... and even more with a more effecient warm up... and if I was rackin the bar lower like I have been the last couple times... 675 wrapless should be in reach shortly.
