jeezus that is some serious reps on bench. superbeast. srs.

and after hitting those pullups... damn. myron' strength and work capacity!

ease into the o lifts proper... haven't cleaned i think in at least 2 years!!! or maybe just once as the PRs are real low and i reset them all a few years ago after learning proper technique... going to be interesting...

and keep forgetting this is the vid i base my olympic good mornings on -

Snatches- 55 is so easy and 60 is so hard... my hips stop popping and i cant drop...certainly a mental barrier after all the form work so far this year...

wow cleaning the weight was easy... getting bounce in bottom i didn't have any and the jerk felt weird but light with the 60kg... haha 3rd set with 60 on the 2nd clean i dropped under bar and it was still going up and i nailed my chin - owe!!! dammit easy 70 and non dropping 80... oh well good base...

Good work Scott

[nwskier]

We need to ski again! come to Jackson so I can kick some ass cause there is no way i'm beating you on any lifts unless it's maybe BB rows! (yes, huge discount on hotel rooms and maybe some comp tix in exchange for some gym sessions- you got my email (no homo) )

impossible not to be motivated by the ridiculous numbers you are tossing around

haha... deload for me this time -

5x30 minute sessions, instead of normal 4x1 hour 5 minute sessions, also avoiding heavy low rep work and loading the spine too heavy...

Very nice.

oh god this summers plans are still up in the air and it really is a sore point with myself!!!

haha... i will be buying some new skis for next winter - narrowed it down to ON3P Billy goats, Atomic Automatics, Momement Bibby Pros.... in that order of preference... getting the ON3P in Britain may be the biggest problem...

thanks... upper body is fine right now but stalled... lower body needs a massive bump!!!

no PR...

[RyouBakua]

no PR...

eh?

[scott_donald]

eh?

its a PR... never done that with heavier weight for those reps...

[RyouBakua]

its a PR... never done that with heavier weight for those reps...

i know youre pretty strong, so im guess youve just never tried

[im2manly]

congrats on the PR. Paused FS blow man, but are a great exercise for core and quads.

[2 D]

Your back squats are light years ahead of your front squats (no hate). Is it because of all the assistance work you do for rugby such as running/GHRs etc. that your posterior seems much stronger than your quads?

Just curious because there appears to be a discrepancy between your vertical pulling compared to your horizontal pulling. I'm assuming because there is less emphasis on this from your perspective more than anything.

haven't seen much horizontal pulling, but a large portion of it is technique.

thanks...

i love them... as said never really done them and i need to work on pause work and having heavier weight on my back...

Atg Overhead squat

30x15(66lbs)

i actually think looking at that they are very comparable... the 12 rep PR is open on both front and back!!!

as far as my posterior vs quads... i think i am very balanced or would hope i am - always tried to remain so in order to not be injury prone...

now as far as the pulling - if you are meaning rows verses pull-ups -

Pullups
20x21
30x15
40x12
40x10
50x8
50x6
BWx32

Chinese DB rows
50x5
42.5x10
52.5x12
42.5x15

BB rows
100x25
120x20
120x18
127.5x15
125x12
142.5x10
140x8
150x5
165x3
170x2

these are all my current PRs... straight from my sheet... so again seems pretty balanced to me...

haven't seen much horizontal pulling, but a large portion of it is technique.

just strength really...

i know youre pretty strong, so im guess youve just never tried

yep... 3 rep PR was the only one i had before but again it is low too...

remember my squats as a whole are poor with injuries and complete change of technique a few years back...

[da2ricky]

Nice work on the legs. ATG paused front squats.... no thanks

What is a chinese row???

[scott_donald]
