Keosawa's Powerlifting Log

[kotriz]

congrats man!

 

[CRZA]

Great pressing. Congrats!

 

[Keosawa]

Wow great benching Kyle. Great PR and awesome Smolov Jr work.

Thanks man. For most people, adding 5 lbs. on their bench after Smolov Jr. would be a disappointment, but for me, that sort of progress in under one month is pretty fantastic.

Congrats on the PR! It moved pretty fast too.

It did, but all my max attempts do. I can't grind worth shit.

Can't see the vids but great pressin, Keo!
Congrats on teh 310!

Thank you!

congrats man!

Thank you, thank you!

Great pressing. Congrats!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Congrats on the PRs man. Both in the paused Bench and the mindfuck.

 

[hatchoo]

congrats again on the paused PR and thanks for replying on the youtube comment i posted.

by the way, could you check my seated GM form? i moved my legs in front of me to eliminate any leg drive and i tried going as low as i can without the bar rolling forward. Thanks in advance.

 

[Keosawa]

Read your goddamn youtube comments, hatch. I already did!

 

[Keosawa]

Congrats on the PRs man. Both in the paused Bench and the mindfuck.

lol, thanks. My unwrapped squat is starting to feel more comfortable! My goal is to run the base cycle of Smolov three times before my April meet and see how it affects my squat. So far, I feel great on it, but I'm not pushing the progression too hard. I'm going to work into it slowly.

I was holding out to be your 100th yt subscriber but I came in at 99. Do I win a prize?

Anyway congrats on the bench pr. Always enjoy the vids and insight.

 

[miaou]

Awesome PR.

Congrats on the Bench pr. Like you said, 5lb pr's are going to be very hard to come by in such a short amount of time.

All squats were beltless and wrapless. Adductor is really cranky right now, but I'm going to try to get through the program and then maybe rest it for a week.

lol, I got my 100th later today. So, no.

Awesome PR.

Feels good, man.

Yep. I'll take what I can get. Even ten pounds in a year is great progress for me on my bench press.

 

[RACC00N]

awesome work in here...


just curious though, why such a narrow stance for your squat??

It's happened over time; it just feels natural to me, and I feel strongest with it. I used to squat with a normal stance, but again, I moved it in little by little over time and felt better with it each time I modified it.

Failed attempt at Chinese rows.

Band Pull-Aparts, three sets.

Very quickly:

Squats felt very solid after an awful 3x10 session last week; injuries are healing nicely; did a little heavy rowing; Frank Yang got me a lot of new youtube subscribers; I'm working on something cool for sherdog.

 

[Twisted Elbow**]

Yea I notice the subscribers comin in. Lol I was 99 then I look again and I see you had 164 or something.

You definetly need more subscribers. Cause your videos are very insightful.

 

[Fighting Sprite]

How did Frank get you subscribers? Was it just that joke about him and searches lead to your page?

lol, yes, it changed very quickly. I love subscribers, but I also realize that the more subscribers I have, the less likely it is that I can respond to everyone.

One of my subscribers knows him, and I think he plugged my channel somewhere just to see how many new subscribers I'd get.

 

[mdewey]

Strong squats, Kyle. I'm pleased to see continued progress.

 

[casperthegst]

Hey Keo ive been using a really wide grip on my squats lately and I have noticed I am developing what I think is bicep tendonitis in both arms. Not sure what the cause of this is sense I am using high bar, any idea? I thought it was the pressing movements that was the cause but it really flares up on squats.
