Thanks. I've asked that before and never got an answer and therefore believing people to just be blowing smoke out of their arses. I'll look those up on youtube.

Big numbers man! You confident?

I'd try Dan Green's advice. Build up your quads as much as possible. You know what's working for me too? Being as explosive as possible. Up until the high 200's I'm aiming for the bar to bounce off...

What are you hoping to hit at the meet man?

Bad luck on the miss. You handled it well.

Week3
Dead lifts 135,5. 185,3. 225,3. 275,2. 315,1. 365,1. 405,1. 445,1.
Calories are low, back is feeling shitty and i still manage a decent number. No pain, no grind. Volume level wasn't much...

What Olympic lifter officially or unofficially has broken a squat world record?

I don't drink 1/2 gallons a day and i get up at least twice to pee. I'm convinced I'm dying.

I have all those symptoms! I'll add lifts going up and down like a yo yo too. I've put it all down to moving to California though. Are taking blood tests affordable? I don't have insurance but I've...

Slooooooooow ass preachers on the curl machine until you fail.

I'm just going to throw this out there too. T Bone isn't bulky! At least not what i think of as bulky. Thick and jacked on the other...

Whatever happens we won't know until it actually happens. Best just to keep living until the problem is real and then decide your course of action.

Day 3

This was going to be interesting as my back was/is still a little tight from monday. Nonetheless i went for it and just expected a light day.

95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 205x3, 225x2,...

Im doing Paul Program now. I.F. does not work well with planned sets, reps and weights i found out. Some days my energy just isnt there and if i have something set in front of me it becomes a...

New trainer comes over to a guy i know going for a 1rm attempt on the benchand declares "don't just wait to help him when he fails! Pull it off him and concentrate on the negative....."

Day two.
Bench 95/5, 135/5, 165/5, 185/3, 205/2, 225/4.
I just hammered it at 225. Stopped before i got a grinder.

Incline 6x4.
Standing db press 8x3. Funny here as my shoulder gave up...

I didn't go for 4 but compared to last week it easy so i kept going till it was a bit hard.

...

I honestly didn't know you could have em frozen off! I thought they just went away after rubbing some cream on.

Nice job. Looks like Ben Rice was at the meet too. I noticed you in the background in his video.

Hah! In some ways you have to give it to them for training when injured. And then other times you just wish they would just have a couple weeks off!

Personally i think it can be explained easier and quicker. Cooking to check wikipedia out to figure it out isn't efficient to me but i understand how that is interesting as is gaining knowledge after...
