Barut's Death Squad (Squat Contest)

[fat_wilhelm]

With low-bar, PL style squats, which I rarely do anymore, I place my hands as narrow as possible to help create the "shelf" for the bar to rest on.

With high bar oly squats, I just walk up and put my hands where everything feels most comfortable. I'd say it ends up pretty close to Lusst's grip w/ pinkies near the rings.

 

[Barut]

Workout:
I woke up and the crack of noon and ate a drumstick icecream cone. I am such a champion.

140 x 8
230 x 5
320 x 3
370 x 1
410 x 1 - 10 lbs PR
410 x 1

I still had 10-20 lbs in the tank.

I always feel like my workouts look pathetic when I post them. It seemed like a good amount of volume at the time.

nice PR, Bort.

...and these are?

You let your arms down your sides as you do the sit up. It's easier to load sit-ups this way...for me anyway.

Makes you look like a zombie rising from the grave...guess that's where they get the name.

It still does to me.

Nice squat, but you're cheating. Isn't this based on all time PR? Your PR post-layoff shouldn't count as your starting point, as I know you hit better than 400 before you took your break. If it does, then I'm adding Tayon to my team under his current max. Then, you'll all be fukt.

What the fuck are you doing? Get it together.

 

[Ascendant]

No, that was too nice.

B0rt: LEAD THIS FUCKING TEAM!

 

[Barut]

That's just like your opinion man.

I guess anyday where you double your 1RM is a good day. I was kicking myself in the ass for not doing 450x2, I had another 5-10 pounds in me. The belt was throwing my form off a little, all this time without it made me a little rusty. SLDL where a bitch, I was exhausted from squatting.

 

[Lusst]

+40lb PR...for two reps?!

SRSLY?

 

[Donut62]

+40 PR for 2 reps. My starting max was 445. My old 2RM was 405.

Damn nice squatting, Donut.

 

[RedNeckJiuJitsu]

Good work, Dnut.

 

[Barut]

Nice work Donut. Did you eat a drumstick icecream cone pre-workout?

 

[Donut62]

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Today was not a great day. My legs are all beat up from MT last night. I have a huge bruise on the back of my leg that I think affected me more mentally than physically. I felt weak at 275 and barely hit 315. Next time I will show improvement.

 

[Barut]

Nice work.
