Went and hit a 4:30 am workout with Baker this morning and go figure PR's for both of us. I got 280x1 on flat bench and even though it wasn't a PR, got 300x1 on decline and 275x4. I think I'm going to like this morning stuff.

Baker had a PR too. Which I'm sure will be posted soon.

Well... got to represent. Bad part is Baker is a Duke fan.


So anyway, yesterday was really good as far as bench went. To all that don't know, I plan on lifting in the RPS PL'ing meet in Cornelius, NC in June. TarHeel above me will be there too. So my hopes are to be in the 181 class and hit S - 375 /\ B - 315 /\ D - 435. That's a big number for me to hit. Not going to get bent out of shape if I don't get it but that's the current goal.

Hit new single and double PR yesterday on bench. 275x2 and 290x1. Still 25 pounds off on my bench goal but I have 3 months. Hoping to possibly get it. Probably going to run 5/3/1 for the next 3 months to help me get there.

I guess we all have our flaws...although that is a MAJOR flaw.

I'm not sure what kind of bar you deadlift with but I emailed the meet director and they use an Okie deadlift bar...so plan on a deadlift PR that day

I dead lift with the same bars I bench and squat with. Not sure the specifics but very little bend.

Inform me on the benefits of using a Okie bar?

Shoulder pain -- no beuno

[enexi0688]

Hit new PR of 295x1 on flat bench Monday morning. Noticing form is a touch better over the past few weeks. Looking forward to hitting deads tonight for the first time with my new Inzer. Probably bench with the belt also since I've heard it helps with core stability.

[enexi0688]

Last post was on 3/26/14? What the hell? Do we even lift anymore?

Answer is yes.... yes we do.

[enexi0688]

I think we need to revive this thread. Will have to kick Baker in the arse and get him posting again. Tonight we got to hit back and bi's and killed it. Best session I have had in a really long time. Good thing about us getting to lift together is how hard we push each other to greater heights. Tonight was no different. Will try to post a modified version of tonights workout tomorrow when I get a little more time.
