The Beast Journey to Elite!

[Jasonk282]

Yall were trying to beat us by making us dizzy from those horrible things. I thought for sure we were getting our first loss there.

Probably would have if Bell didn't get injuried. Nex week is another big game for us. We have to be the Raiders in order to have a shot at the WC.

Ben will get on page with Brown n Co...but it needs to happen very very soon.

I think you would have had a better chance without Ben against us. He was not ready

Oh I know, he clearly wasn't, as tossing 3 INTs shows.

[MatTheCur]

I'm with Mat...saw it but completely forgot to comment. Nothing like a little motivation boost to get you going. Congrats on the PRs Harry. Rolling right along. Good to see so much consistency.

See, you apologise and he doesn't even bother saying anything.

Take take take, that's all Harry's about, eh?

You should really watch this on the video, I go through a detailed description of how I want him to come out with me and then on my grunt he would let go and that only if it is pinned to my chest should he even touch it after that. What he does after that is amazing to me. He holds the bar through the whole rep. Then the second time is only marginally better after I tell him again to not touch it I think this really through off the rest of the session

That they are, lets hope the bright lights don't spook them tonight

Thanks man.
Not knocking your workouts at all but do you ever get bored doing singles like that. I know that doing deadlifts that way is exhausting so I am not clowning on the rep scheme just curious.

This week I've been doing 5x3 on front squats. and recovery is not an issue.

on the classic lifts though it's better, IMO, to stick with singles and really focus on technique for each rep.

For deadlifts especially I agree with this. I do not have experience with Olympic, but it would make sense on those as well

generally if you do multi reps it's like 2 clean, 1 jerk...or 1 clean, 2 jerks. If you do triple of the entire lift it's usually the lift, then 30-40 sec rest and another...trying to bang them out like power cleans or push press would be ill advised, IMO.

PVC Roller Full Leg work
Half Ball Just laid over it to stretch out the back
Hangs I heard about doing this to decompress the spine so I tried it out. I just hang from a chin bar and stretch bending a little side to side and front to back. It felt really good and got some very weird looks so I'll probably keep doing it

Gym Idiots
It seems today was full of idiots

Plates under Heels
So I understand some people use plates under there heels when they squat to target the quads more, and I even understand when some people do it to decide if they should get olympic shoes. This one really got me though.
Me: Why are you guys squatting with 3 10lb plates under each heel? (thats right 3)
Idiot: It targets your hamstrings better, I thought you would know that
Me: Oh that makes perfect sense carry one

Wrong Way
So this Hispanic guy that I know pretty well (Carlos) is doing sprints on the track, but going the wrong way. There are signs every few feet telling you what days to go what direction.
Me: Hablo usted Ingles?
Carlos: I speak english *******.
Me: Then why are you going the wrong ****ing way
(he laughs and then starts going in the right direction)

I have a chance to do some damage, the record for my age and weight class include: 1485 Total, 575 Squat, 390 Bench, 605 Deadlift.
