Baco Bacon's No-Lollygagging Lofty Linear Gains!

[baco_bacon]

in 4 vid of you doing jumping jacks with dat dere boner

mirin that fukkin press and nice job on DLs, doubt i could get it conventional

Will be provided brb never wearing shorts ever again just because of my bet haha

Don't worry, I probably can't even hit 365x1 Sumo haha hips = SH*T

THIS! Will make me feel better about my impotency....

Well, if you say so..

Nice press and deadlift.

Looks like you have a pretty sick environment to work out in too, mirin.

Only on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays is back at Golds - which I am NOT complaining about haha

I think you could shorten the range of motion further by moving in your grip to the edges. If it rubs, narrow your stance a bit. By doing that, you'll eliminate the part where you stalled on that last rep. GJBM (good job baco man).

What do you mean by moving in my grip to the edges?

Sorry, you have me a little lost.

Also, funny you mention switching up my grip. I widened my stance today just a smidge haha

fark yea baco, strong deadlift! and that dude is a fukin beast with that press!

Dude, he was crazy... 275 for reps easy... I will never forget how explosive his 225 reps were LOL so jelly



Talked to my parents for a while tonight and they agreed to pay $65 of the $85 payment when originally I thought I'd have to pay for the entire competition. So thankful for that

Your grip looks like it is a little wider than the edges of the knurling. I'm talking about where the "grippy stuff" meets the smooth part. Nothing wrong with a slightly wider stance unless it forces you to use a wider grip. Wider grip = longer RoM. Then again, that's not the end of the world either depending on your training goals. As someone preparing for a meet, trying to maximize poundages, it's a different story, though.

Look at this for example:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=K28vgrIbtvg#t=21m29s

That's Robert Wilkerson. He's a 900+ raw squatter. That's a 605 deadlift. He has to use a very wide stance for obvious reasons. The wide stance forces a wide grip and takes hundreds of pounds off of his deadlift. This is a super exaggerated example just to make a point.

A wider than necessary grip artificially shortens the arm segment. How wide is necessary? Your arms should hang vertical from the shoulders. We are talking just an inch or two with what you're doing. It may help or it may not, but it's just something to be aware of like stance width on squats and grip width on bench.

Strong DL and press baco! You're looking damn swole too, gjdm

Huh. That makes sense. Cool video, too. I ended up watching a great portion of it haha.

I'll try that next time for sure. Who knows - it may help quite a bit

Benched 215 x 9. Was going for ten. Didn't play Ray Lewis - that's why I didn't hit it lolol
Rowed 95s x 15. More reps/more weight than last week. Good pump.
Calves
Light squats

Notes
Decent. Nick came along for the first time in a couple months and squatted 4 plates today! Was so happy for him. He made some solid gains despite sh*tty football lifting and track.


PWO Weight: 196 lbs lol strong weight gain is strong

[IzzyT]

I would say 405x5!!!! 'Grats! But it doesn't seem you're that happy about it... So.............


405x5!!! 'Grats!!

How's this for a mind****:
435x5 squat, NO RAY LEWIS
245x4 bench fail, WITH RAY LEWIS

what is this? i don't even..

is that chick benching 3 plates or are my eyes deceiving me

[Eighttroy19]

Jesus f*ck baco you got a solid 35 pounds on me! ahah What kind of numbers are you shootin for at the meet? I plan on doin a mock meet in 2 weeks tho so lets see where my maxes are at @~160lbs! I plan on entering an actual meet sometime before I turn 19, i turn 18 in 3 months.

EDIT: What kind of routine do you plan on doing after the meet? I remember you saying you were gunna do a bodybuilding style routine for a while, i plan on doin the same. Gunna go with something insanely high volume and see how that works out after 2 months of nothing over 6 reps lol I miss getting that insane pump!

[Champc98]

Strong ****ing squating brother. That depth looks fine to me.

[InfiniteExcel]

Son I am disappoint at not playing Ray Lewis!

Strong skwatz, beb

[ossizen]

Just dropping by... very solid squatting!

[parachuter]

you nervous for the meet at all?

[The Shoeless Wonder]
