a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290 770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq	thtas a very unusual Movement. how do you think it carries over to your deadlift and squat?

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	July 7/09 @ Ironworks Started with a whole bunch of stretching/foam rolling.. in the words of one of my poker buddies, my back was "tight as an 8 year old's asshole" Speed Bench: 2x45x5 +doubled minis: 2x45x3 95x3 12x135x3 **setup and speed felt really good on these today; best it's felt for a while. I think a lot of it is to do with really focusing on getting my heels out and down Incline DB Bench (hole #5): 3x70x8 Shrugs - 4 sets High Band Rows // Pushdowns - 3 sets Fatman Pullups // Heavy Bag Rows - 3 sets Finished with 15 minutes of conditioning with the heavy bag - threw it different ways, shouldered it, pressed it, rowed it, ran with it etc. Just enough rest during to take a drink and think of the next thing I could do with it

I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	That squat good morning thing looks odd, a cross bread for sure

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	deffinatly a different one, but feels like it'll be good for back strength; the first part makes you push with almost all low back, then forces you to keep it tight/stable during the squat portion of the lift July 8/09 @ ironworks Tonnes of mobility/stretching/foam rolling.. stupidly sore today from those goodmornings Box Squats (14"): 45x2 45x2 45x5 +averages: 45x2 45x2 135x2 135x2 +Viking VStance (straps down): 225x2 5x275x2 5x295x2 Seated Cable Row (wide neutral grip) - 3x200x8 High Band Row - 3x2 doubled minisx15 Seated Crunch Machine - 3x240x10 Rev Pec Dec // Band Side Bend - 2 sets -decent workout; starting to turn it down a notch. 1.5 weeks out now, so just gonna hit my bench openner Saturday with some lockout work, then take it easy -chiropractor is awesome; back is sooooo much better than before I met with him. Still some pain, but only slight, and not at all on light sets

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	training looks good, how are the injuries?? Dave Tate says an excellent (more beginner) movement is to goodmorning, then squat it as it is, then straighten up.

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	Thanks man. I'm actually feeling fairly healthy right now considering how much band tension I've been using on my squats.. chiropractor is awesome! Anyone in the area - Dr.Matheson is a life saver! July 11/09 @ Ironworks Bench: up to 275xmiss.. got totally stapled haha. Ah well, now I have a goal for the first bit of this upcoming raw cycle lol 2 ply Rage-X: 365x3 1 board 385x1 1 board **probably open with this 405x1 2 board 435x1 2 board 455x1 3 board 475x1 3 board **damn tough but I got 'er 4 Board Raw: 225x10 Kettlebell Upright Row: 3x50x10 -my pr on the 3 board is 465, and exactly one month ago I missed 455 twice, so I'm pretty damn pleased with this haha -last meet Shooter and I went into it ending on a terrible workout.. we ended up getting 1 bench in between us (1 for 6 haha). This meet we both ended on a high note; let's kill it!

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	July 18/09 SSA Nationals Squat (ace pro briefs, viking squatter, convict wraps): 1st Attempt - 670 - 3 whites 2nd Attempt - 715 (10lb pr) - 3 whites 3rd Attempt - passed *squats felt REALLY heavy.. apparently I crushed my 1st attempt, but it felt like I battled it for a bit haha Bench (double rage-x): 1st Attempt - 390 (5lb pr) - 3 whites 2nd Attempt - 415 - miss 3rd Attempt - 415 - miss *f**k benching *I killed my 1st.. so much so I was already thinking ahead to a 440 3rd attempt and 460ish on a 4th haha *2nd attempt was within a centimeter, but I just suck way too much to officially bench over 400 apparently Deadlift (viking squatter) 1st Attempt - 500 - 3 whites 2nd Attempt - 560 - miss 3rd Attempt - pass *I was so tired by this point it was insane. Lowered my openner to something I can hit no problem.. good thing too haha *I tried to muster up a little bit of fire for my 2nd attempt but I was too much of a pussy hahaha Overall this was like all my other meets; mediocre. I can never seem to put it together on the platform. My bench is getting a bit better, but I'm not consistant at all. Back in the gym tomorow haha

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	Did a light bench workout yesterday but for some reason couldn't get on here when I was posting it elsewhere. 6 sets light benching, 3 sets light dumbells, and 4 sets of cable rows July 20/09 @ Ironworks Warmup - dynamic stretching, foam roll, band dislocates, 3x8 pullaparts SSB Box Squat (10" box) (only used a belt): 45x6 45x6 95x5 135x3 185x3 225x1 275x1 295x1 315x1 335x1 **last one was real tough.. felt strange struggling that hard with sub-500lbs haha **10 inches feels really low haha. Moved my stance in a bit to try and find where I'll set up for raw work BB Row (varying grips): Overhand: 185x8 205x8 2x225x5 Underhand: 225x5 275x3 High Pulls - 3x135x5 Pullthroughs - 3xaveragex12 Bent-leg Situps - 3x25x10 Finished with 20 minutes stretching and foam rolling -2 huge priorities for the next little while need to be abs and upper back

From Canadia Member 518, 410 posts SQ 320, BP 204, DL 250 774.0 kgs @ 256kgs Eq	Thanks Tom. I feel like I have a huge total pr waiting for me as soon as I manage to actually put it together on the platform July 21/09 @ Ironworks Pulldown (wide neutral handle) - up to 3x195x8 Straight Arm Pushdown // High Band Rows - 2 sets Stairmaster (3 mins hard) // Bent Over Band Row // Pullaparts -high frequency upper back with lots of variation will be my saviour
