The Texas-Rio connection: Carlos goes TM

[Carlos Daniel]

is that rep/sets or set/reps

those wraps must help a lot then?

reps/sets

Wraps hurt but definitely work. Oh, and Friday I'll try my squat suit. I have not idea how it will go.

Oh, my knee sleeves don't work at all - as in help. They keep my joints warm though and that's all I want.

Yes, but that much was expected.

Friday-Bright red blowfish-faced day

General impression: It was hard training. Hard.

Box Squat (a little above parallel, maybe a couple of inches)

455x2x2 (with suit, straps down)
365x2 (wraps only)
385x2 (wraps only)

I'm not writing down some of the warmups, those are the top sets for the squat with the suit. Now I know why powerlifters are infertile. It's not because of steroid use, it's because the fucking squat suit mashes up your testicles. I did end up putting the straps up but my right nut started burning so I had to take the straps down. I was fairly drained by the time I did my set with just the wraps, I could probably have done 385x5 if it weren't for the suited squats.

Bench 255x3

I should have been able to do more, but my elbows were kinda sore from squatting.

Deadlift 385x3

After all the squatting and two weeks without deadlifting, I'm quite happy with this.

Random arm stuff, triceps pushdowns and curls.

455 what the f....

455 what the f....

Oh, crap, I'm sorry, this was a box squat about a couple of inches above parallel. I'll correct it.

Was about to say, hahaha that's some massive overnight gains right there!

I wouldn't be surprised if after a couple of months getting to know the suit better I get 455 deep. It's just that the thing was fucking hurting my right nut in a way that my balls should NEVER hurt. I'll try 405 or something without the box next week.

Yeah, looking at those numbers I really fell like a completely novice. Lifting in a commercial gym where most of the guys are more concerned about the spinning class, I over estimate how strong I really am. Damn, whenever I make a trip to Rio we'll meet for a workout!!
Squat suit squeezing your balls??!! uheuheue that's funny!!
