Thanks guys  Jan 21/09 - DE Benchin Speed Bench: 45x8, 45x5 +doubles minis: 45x3 95x3 115x3 8x135x3 **good speed on all sets Closegrip 3-Board: 225x5 235x5 235x5 225x9 225x5 **no misses on any of these; only stopped on the last 2 sets because of misgrooving; MM-style boards are VERY tough for high reps with noone to hold the board steady hahaha. Deffinatly up from the 5x225x5 last week, so Im happy 1 Arm Machine Row: 45x5 90x5 5x135x5 Pushdown // Straight Arm Pulldown: smallx20 // 95x15 smallx20 // 105x12 smallx20 // 115x8 Shrug: 135x8 225x8 315x8 405x5 455x5 3x405x8 -all done in just over an hour lol. Pushing the pace well -none of the upper back work was really tough, but figured with the very short rest periods and supersetting I was getting enough work -getting very excited for the meet; bust ass for the next week and a half, then deload, and finally compete after a 6 month layoff haha  | |||

| Oh yeah, and Ive heard rumours that it was either raw, or just T-Rex breifs. Either way, thats straight nasty! Iain - Even reading that sounds like a lot of work  muahaha | |||

| Thanks guys Rick - I want to be 100% sure before counting a bench pr haha. Plus it only matters on the platform Iain - God bless the Katana haha. I think Ill have to open with my Rage-X though, because I have a hard time touching 40lbs heavier then my meet pr lmfao Jan 18/09 Sumo GM: 45x5 95x5 135x5 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x3 335x3 355x3 370x3 ** Felt great, but I didnt have my camera and wasnt in front of a mirror, so cut it there while I knew my form was still holding up. This is a pr Box Squat (14inch): 135x3 225x1 315x1 405x1 *mid-stance 405x1 *wide-stance 405x1 *narrow-stance - this felt weird haha, not used to narrow 405x1 *wide-stance Pulldown (v-handle): 165x5 195x5 225x5 235x5 245x5 Face Pull /// Vogelpohl Pulldown Superset: 75x8///75x8 75x8///75x12 75x8///75x12 Cable Side Bend///Seated Ab Machine Superset: 105x15///195x15 135x12///230x12 165x8///260x8 -awsome workout. Mid-back felt ok -I was planning on hitting between 5-8 singles on the box squats, but I started to feel a little niggle in my mid-back on the 4th set, so instead of chance it, just cut it there -the face pull/vogelpohl pulldown is a freaking dirty combo -mid-back felt perfect until the last set of box squats, and even then it was only a slight niggle. Woohoo!!! | |||

| Excellent work Rick, and Im loving the sumos I find it really tough to break them off the ground when pulling raw, but as soon as it starts moving its piss-easy haha | |||

| lmfao Jan 17/09 Bench: Raw warmup to 245x1 +Titan Katana: 315x2 345x2 365x2 385x1 **nothing touched 385x1 - to a 3 board 385x1 - to a 2 board 385x1 - to a 1 board **all sets touched boards and pressed VERY easily 385x1 - no touch 400x1 - easy press and EXTREMELY close to touching. Shooter thought it did, but I didnt feel it 405xmiss - touched and pressed easy but went off balance at top; wouldve had this I think 2x405xmiss - totally pooched Skull Crushers laying on floor: 50x8 5x60x6 -sick workout -the 400 was really easy to press back up, and the first 405 if I hadnt lost balance wouldve been a big pr. Ah well, Ill save it for the platform -videos will come | |||

| Cheers cfive Tan - I didnt know Rush toured around here; theyre great! We have a big annual concert festival taking place over a full week in the summer with some big bands (its called Bayfest; we get Tragically Hip, Nickleback, Aerosmith, Our Lady Peace, etc etc). Rush was rumored to come last year, but sadly no dice  Paul - Sarnia is actually a border town; without all the border patrol stuff I could be in American in 5 minutes lmao | |||
