6 board?!?!?! with a reverse band!?!?!

[sickonstorm]

do you think youd be capable of hitting a 405 bench 500 squat and 600 dl raw at 200 pounds?

[cupcakekid]

6 board?!?!?! with a reverse band!?!?!

yea, pretty gay, a guy with a recovering wrist injury was doing them n i decided to see what 500 felt like in my hands.

do you think youd be capable of hitting a 405 bench 500 squat and 600 dl raw at 200 pounds?

sure

[cupcakekid]

so yea, my squat suit is still waitng to get picked up. im just too damn lazy to go get it lol. Ill probably be squatting in just my brief to a box for the next 5 weeks, try and get some good strength goin before i get into my new suit. if i can get to 460+ ill be really happy.

[bballvertical]

Here is my second log on this website. the old one just kind of died out as school affected my lifting too much. however, I have just recently joined a powerlifting team, Zen Zen barbell out of Dekalb, IL. We are the premeir drug-free team in America. Its an honor to lift with these guys. This log is pretty much a reference for me to see when i set PRs and track my training.

Now, a bit about myself. I am currently an AAPF lifter at 165 lbs. My current numbers Im basing my percentages off are:
Sq: 505 (gym pr)
Bp: 280 (raw pr at 165)
DL: 468 (meet pr)

my PBs are higher, but i need to be smart about my training.

Some other random lifts that I keep track of
Reverse band DL (blue): 560x3
Reverse band BP (3 board) 430x3
Squat reps: 420x7
Sqaut w/ bands: 235 flat weight + 465 lbs of band at top for 3 reps in briefs

I have an Ace Squat brief and an oversized Ernie Frantz squat suit. Ill be getting a new one soon. I also have some sweet knee wraps.

I will be using a Inzer Rage X double layered single ply shirt. Inzer wraps

I have a crappy belt.


My goals:
- dealift 481@165 and have the state record for single lift deadlift at the 165 lb class and 181 lb class (set last year)
- win AWPC worlds next year
