Oh,yes, forgot you injured your foot, my fault. Would be awesome to see you bench 315 with no leg drive.
true, smolov seems to work like magic sometimes.

Well I'm hoping to do SJ without leg drive and then test my max in 5 weeks with leg drive, I'm crossing my fingers that by then I'll be healed up enough to do that

Training notes:
Had some bad days lately. I think i need to relax a bit, and do more stuff I find fun in training, so ill keep that in mind for later programming.
Im not training for a world record, so I need to set my standards slightly lower and not become so overly dissapointed when progress stops or slows down. Sadly, i've reached a point in training now, where my lifts will slow down and progress will be slower, so I need to fix my mentality towards training to accommodate that.
Consistency and dedication is key. Never give up.



UEFA Euro 2012 starts soon, anyone as excited as this girl :icon_lol:

I find the CRZA-kotriz "pic wars" nothing short of epic.

Also congrats on the beltless PR. How far away is that from your belted one?

 

[CRZA]

pic wars, nah man, we're a team

Thanks, Ive done a 180x5 with belt, so I guess thats 20kg, but the belted one was alot harder than the beltless one, probably could of gotten 5kg more.
I usually squat with a belt, but I lowered my max for 531 for powerlifting and I figured I try it beltless to make it more challanging.

speaking of pictures, kate upton needs more love

awesome

Bench Press
First of all Im a shmohawk, I thought I did 97.5 x 6x6 last time and didnt check, so I did 102.5 6x6 today and It turns out I did 92.5 x 6x6 last time
bar x 10
40 x 5
60 x 5
80 x 5
102.5 6x6
Fairly heavy at times. I notice my triceps fatigue fairly fast and that on the last rep my right hand comes up faster than lift. Should add some extra unilateral triceps work to my summer list.
