| May 18/09 Bench: 45x5 95x5 135x5 185x5 205x5 225x6 **another bench pr; 220x6 was a big pr a few weeks ago Bench: +Doubled Minis: 3x135x3 5x115x3 Floor Press: 45x8 135x5 185x5 195x5 205x5 Pulldown (v-handle): 150x5 200x5 3x220x5 Seated Cable Row (wide neutral grip handle): 130x12 140x12 150x12 160x12 DB Overhead: 3x20x30 **supersetted w/ band rear delts 3xminix20 -awsome workout -bench has been climbing up since I started sticking with fewer movements, and trying to get more volume/reps in each workout | |||

| May 16/09 Sumo Deadlift: 135x3 135x3 +Reverse Larges (looped around pin @ eye level; total deload just above knee): 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x1 365x1 405x1 455x1 495x1 535xmiss 535x1 **switched to conventional stance, and had to really grind this lol **old pr was 565, but I think I must've choked the bands instead of looped them (adding a fair amount extra help), because I'm no weaker then I was when I hit the 565, and there was no way 535 was even going up sumo haha SSB High Box Squat: +Averages choked around 2 dumbells (sick tension): 45x3 95x3 135x3 185x2 225x1 5x245x1 Sumo Rack Pull (mid-knee, just below patella): 45x3 225x3 315x1 405x1 4x520x1 545x1 -sick amount of single lol -I've noticed that when my squat shot up I was consistantly doing lots of box squats against bands, and a fair amount of ab work; both things I've neglected lately. I won't be doing any box squats to proper depth as I don't trust the aerobics platforms any more, but I'll do an occassional high box squat, and lots of stuff against bands again -project for this spring once I get home will be to build a legit box that I can add layers to | |||

| It's a thumbless grip when benching; completly rediculous as far as I'm concerned, but having my thumb wrapped today really hurt my wrist (strained it a few days ago) so I was forced to try it | |||

| March 11/09 Bench: 2x45x8 2x95x8 3x135x8 5x155x8 185x11 + Doubled Minis: 3x45x3 3x95x3 3x115x3 Floor Press: 135x8 3x155x8 Pulldown really light 3x15, superset w/ band rear delts -took everything light cause wrist still kind of hurts -nothing was tough, and it was all done with no rest -had to use suicide grip with right hand; I would never bench like this normally! haha | |||

| Some good sessions there bro Also, you should deffinatly start video taping parts of your sessions. That has probably helped me as much or more than any other 1 influence.. it's not just so you can analyze them, but so you can have more experienced lifters look at them | |||

| Thanks dude March 7/09 - Bruce's Place Bench: 45x5 45x5 135x5 225x1 245x1 +Katana: 315x3 335x3 365x1 385xmiss 385xmiss ***Bruce and Tiger had me totally change my groove so it was tough. Last time I was down at Bruce's I missed 335 though, so this was ok hahaha Shirt off 5 Board: 275x3 315x3 4 Board: 315x3 3 board: 315xmiss Chain Suspended Lockouts (crazy high): 275x3 315x3 365x3 405x3 -need to focus on keeping elbows out for as long as possible in the shirt -we decided to squat after benching instead of the next day so Dennis could head home... this worked out great 'cause I was planning on partying, so I wouldn't want to have to drag my ass out of bed to squat haha Squat: 135x3 + Ace Pro Briefs: 225x3 315x3 405x2 495x1 545x1 -Bruce just re-iterated what Rhodes and Bott have been telling me I need to work on; keeping elbows under the bar, sitting back harder, and staying more upright -SSB work was recomended Another interesting point; don't try and punch a friend in the arm as hard as you can when you're too drunk to stand up straight. f**ked up my wrist a bit Saturday night lol. I've had it wrapped consistantly, and have iced the s**t out of it. Also used a doubled mini-band as a sling lol (amazing the things Bruce can teach you ) | |||
