No one is telling Paul to eat moar though

And no one is going to make fun of Wade for those 1/4lb plates either!

[NC_Tarheel]

Thad you can borrow my micro plates if you want 297.5.

I'll just put 5 clips on each end and call it good

LOL, that's awesome

We even have 1/4 lb plates at the gym, I shat you not

ha ha ha

1/2 pound PR's are where it's at!!!

Great job buddy. I remember my first ball hair too

You'll sprout that elusive second ball hair when you can deadlift 450

I do what I can brother

the way my benchprogresses you will end up having a 3 plate bench before i get 340. most people go inch by inch on bench. i go in millimeters

[bigwade800]

Why do you think that is?

[NC_Tarheel]

My son faked sick today (srs) and I went along with it because I have a meeting to attend tonight and I didn't feel like being rushed after work. So here goes some afternoon deadlifting....or in my case...stiff leg deadlifting...

Warm Up
Scalding Hot Shower (with Matt's mom)
Equiblock
Neoprene everywhere

Front Squat
Bar X 5
135 X 3
185 X 1
225 X 1 *pause*
275 X 1 *pause*

Trap Bar Deads
225 X 1
315 X 1
405 X 1
505 X 1

Deads
225 X 1
315 X 1
405 X 1
455 X 1
495 X 3 singles (2 min rest between sets)
*hook grip*


Set 1



Set 2



Set 3





ASSISTANCE
RDL's - 315 (3 X 6)
GHR's - 2 X 12
45 Degree Hypers - 2 X 12
Abs X 100 reps


Conditioning
15 mins Airdyne HIIT
2:00 min pedal / :30 sec all out


The weight went up but obviously the form is still not there. 315 and 405 felt fast and like I was getting the hang of it and then it just got worse from there. I'll learn from it and move on from there. I won't be pulling from the floor next week, then 3 weeks of pulling with chain and then I'll max. Declines on Saturday

[bigwade800]

I have an idea...

[Black_Spit]

495x3 singles looks familiar... Except for the shape of the guy doing them.

I'll be testing in about 14 hours.

Pepper your angus.

After that performance..I'm all ears....

The shape of the guy and the speed they were done



I'm going to throw out a number........575 or more

[bigwade800]

Steady...

[Raigs]

Steady...

Waiting for the big mans words. Otherwise nice session. I wish I could even think about doing 500 :/ One day


Nice Warm UP!

[bigwade800]

We've got to find a way to get Thad to get his butt down but, that's not enough. If you watch the vids, he leads with the fanny. NO doubt that lower back and hams are strong but, we got to keep digging in. We are trying something next week and testing it as I have a theory. We shall see. So, stay tuned.

I was joking about one of those warm up activities (I'm all out of equiblock )

I just thought that was another form of a Superman(aka a V Pill)

[mmorton]

Considering y'all are about the same age ( She's 51) it doesn't surprise me

[NC_Tarheel]

Going on the fact you need a hot shower to warmup.... (not going any more in depth in case people start getting worked up)

the only reason most of us are here is because That gets us all worked up. if you aren't gunna play along with them go away

[NC_Tarheel]

Yeah...I have that circus sideshow thing going for me.

And Ragis....shower = open pores = instant napalm upon equiblock application
