What's up guys. Today was the start of my deload week.

What I did was two things.

1) I went with my 5rm that I ended my last week with and took 50%, 60% & 70% as my working weight.

2) Instead of doing 5x5 I just did 3x5 to cut back a little bit.

Nothing fancy and we all hate deloads but I know it's the smart approach. Here's a look at my workout from this morning.

12/10/12

Squat
135x5
165x5
190x5

Bench
105x5
125x5
145x5

DB bench
50x10
50x10
50x10
50x10

Kroc rows
60x10
70x10
80x18

*I dropped the Pendlay rows and went with Kroc rows instead.

DB shrugs
50x10
50x10
50x10

I remember not too long ago when that deload bench set wasn't TOO far from your actual 5 rep max. Killing it.

Just got a chance to watch those vids....SOLID





How about next time you go for 1RM on squats and deads you don't hit a 5 rep PR on the previous set so we can see what you've really got???? Showoff!!!!


Awesome work buddy

I really like Kroc rows a lot.

I'm definitely not going to do 5 reps with my top set then go for a 1rm next time. Me showing off? Never

Look what arrived on my front door tonight.








The problem is I can't get the belt through the hook on the end as seen in the third pic. Any advice? This is my first powerlifting belt btw.

Nice looking piece of cow bro!

Roll that bitch up back and forth while your sittin around. It'll break in faster. I think it's just too stiff right now

Nice elite belt. Which one is that?

You need to break it in. The article below is for the economy one, but should work for this too:

[Anthony21]

@Bird great advice bro and ill def do that.

@Ken its the P2 power belt. Thanks for the article. Ill start rolling it as often as I can.

[jasolhe]

i wish someone would have told me this advice before spending 80 bucks on the brand new belt i have sitting at home, its 3 times as fukn stiff as yours and i don't have the time to break it in

buy one used on ebay and send the new one back

Nice purchase Ant. I just bought a Forever Lever by Inzer and will use these tips. I've been rolling it up the last week or two but I haven't been nearly as diligent as I need to be. It's still so stiff to the point where it is barely usable.

[xRequiem]

i saw you were considering dropping OHP for incline. Bill Starr intentionally put the OHP in the routine for powerlifting/strength purposes. OHP does help your bench, as far as incline is concerned he put it in there for athelets in general.

I guess it comes down to just using it over and over and at some point it finally breaks in haha.

Thanks for the info Req. I'm going to keep the OHP in cause I like the lift and still want to work at getting my numbers up in it.

Awesome belt, Ant! My gym provides one which is cool..but if I change I might have get one too. It's a lifesaver at maxing out sets..

[moshvr]

Nice purchase man

[ktj4l]

LOL @ parking your car on the rolled up belt. Sh!t just got real!

Very nice belt, Ant. Congrats!
