WhiteKimbo's making a comeback log

[Black_Spit]

I love the fact that its now the Ogre Compound or Ogre Training Facilities.

One day Reactive Wave will be synonomous with Ogre in the same way Westside = Conjugate.

[bigwade800]

Julia actually started that. I need to go see how she actually has it inputted in to Facebook. She will post herself doing something at the Ogre Compound.

I don't know about the RWM ever being well known. It's only actually part of the method and only named because SHR Carl made me.

People are seeing results and I need to buckle down and write it all out. Then maybe I can have an e-book, too.,..

[bigwade800]

It is listed at the Ogre Compound so, you should be able to tag yourself there...

BTW, I'm going to run a holiday special on the ogre stuff and any of you, like you Kimbo that wants something special, let's get it together. I need to get some more stock really soon.

[WhiteKimbo]

Worked on openers today and it turned out to be a Disappointing day after a really great week of lifting for me. Probably my best week minus today. I was out of gas today, which is unfortunate. This is the day that means the most to me because I suck at pulling. I killed legs on Tuesday and it came back to haunt me today i think. Really no excuses. I'm not strong enough on deads to work through an off day.

[bigwade800]

You were out of gas, nothing more. I should have put the brakes on after the opener. What you aren't mentioning is the IT Band issue...newborn, Christmas and after the great week, I'm not going to allow you to beat yourself up. I made the mistake of letting it go after the opener, especially with the way the week has been.

So, you pulled the opener, it's solid, we will regroup till the meet and you'll pr there.

I'll ask again, what is your meet pr?

[WhiteKimbo]

Zero.

I'm not happy but not gonna whine like a beeatch. Ill pull 500 by may by hook or by crook.

425 was a pr until last month. So now it's an off day weight and an opener. Still a win in some strange way.

[bigwade800]

Matt is a great example. The first time he pulled 400, it never left the floor. Then he broke it from the floor, and today, after a pr front squat, a pr trap pull, he pulls 405 to the knees twice, we load 400 and he pulls it.

I remember when you looked at me like I was crazy when I'd have you do the same thing...

today was only another session and given all that has been going on, I feel good about everything.

For as worn out as I felt I had an excellent day. 365 left me feeling like I def had more in the tank. Coach shut me down and am glad he did. Been worn out lately and having a coach like wade is a great asset. I would have gone up till I failed and been pissed. Lol. Still got several weeks before the meet so there is room to get stronger before then.

[Black_Spit]

I saw the 365 video and it was strong. Is that an all time PR for you?

[bigwade800]

It is

after seeing the 3 attempts today, I may be rethinking what we will do.

Tomorrow,he wraps.

[WhiteKimbo]

I saw the 365 video and it was strong. Is that an all time PR for you?

YES. Never paused that much.

[bigwade800]

400 before you know

In May...400

[WhiteKimbo]

It's ambitious, but very doable considering how I felt today. But, I could always have a deads day like Friday on bench and be like wtf. Lol

[bigwade800]

read my quote, BRA...

"Never tell me what you won't do, show me that you can't"-said by, ME

I'll go further. Failure, like Friday, is not the worst thing. Failure with little to no effort is pathetic. If you can't, then you have a team of people and a coach that will help you get on the pathway so you have the opportunity to achieve your goal and if nothing else, get a step closer. If you can't, then it is incumbent on me as your coach to see to it that you will and that you can.

Well said as always BRAH.

I REMEMBER that quote, as it was said by you to me on my first deads session at the compound. I remember a few more expletives than it currently contains though.

[bigwade800]

It clearly has more impact live with the color metaphors and impassioned expletives...

Coach had me in wraps for the first time today and I think it went pretty good. I just have to get used to the wraps which I don't think will be an issue. We are in meet mode now so I will have time to do so. 470 felt great and was a 5 pound pr for me. I felt like yesterday after bench, that there is more in the tank for a bigger squat. Ill let coach call the numbers and make the decisions. I went a bit too hard on squats last week so it was good that he tempered me today. I'm a go to till I fail kinda guy, not the smartest way to be I reckon.

Happy new year Charlie Brown.

[bigwade800]

The only issues were the set up with the wraps. Threw your groove off. A few sessions and that'll fix. Keep thinking and visualizing 500. Then, May, no less than 520.

[WhiteKimbo]

I'm with you on the 500. I'm focused 100% on that number. In may, 540.

So what was the verdict at the doc yesterday?

I saw your opener Dl video. Should be a confidence booster to be able to smoke your opener when you're sick.

Tested negative for flu and strep. Just a cold. A $hitty one.

Opener was ok. Feeling sorry for myself on this quest for a mighty deadlift. Felt like we were turning the corner. Now everything seems off, but I'm sick and bein a pussy right now so ill find fault in anything.Lol
