1/6/08 - Sunday - ME Lower

Squat:
135x5
185x5
225x5
275x3
315x3
335x1
365x3 (Rep PR)

The Inzer is like having Mariusz Pudzinowski and Bill Kazmaier spotting you at the same time. I have some hellacious bruises forming on the top of my hips. Next week I will squat 425, I can feel it.

Power Clean:
135x5
135x5
185x5

My form feels good on this. Haven't done them in awhile.

Deadlift:
225x3
315x3
405x1
455x1
405x1

Just wanted to do some moderate weight pulls in the Inzer belt. First off, the speed pulls against bands from a deficit have helped tremendously. The weight flew up. Secondly, the Inzer needs broken in better because it really cramped my style on these. It was riding off my back, and I had trouble sinking down far enough with my hips at the start because it was digging in.

DB Bulg SS (front foot elevated):
10x50's
12x50's
12x55's

45 Degree Back Raise:
3x12x50

Zombie Decline Sit Ups (thanks liquid!):
3x15x45 plate

Well, now I'll have to go right to 430 because you mentioned it

 

[Zerocrew1984]

haha! honestly, i think you have at least 430 if not more.

Zero - race to 500?

 

[Zerocrew1984]

Zero - race to 500?

no.! haha. arent you at 455 or or something?

 

[enright3060]

no.! haha. arent you at 455 or or something?

475

 

[Zerocrew1984]

bahahaha. i hate you.

why/how are you so strong.

 

[enright3060]

I can't deadlift for shit.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

yes, 400+ deadlifts are shit

 

[Donut62]

I can't deadlift for shit.

Have you ever tried sumo? Good squatters who pull shitty seem to have better luck with sumo.

I'll have fucked around with it a bit. It would probably work with my body type better (short arms, etc). I have had several back issues/injuries so I'm more concerned with fixing imbalances and getting my back stronger. I'll work with sumo seriously once I hit 500 on a conventional dl.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

enright, race to 500 dl?

 

[enright3060]

enright, race to 500 dl?

:icon_cry2

 

[Donut62]

Maybe you should do Zero races to 500 squat, Enright races to 500 deadlift.

 

[enright3060]

Maybe you should do Zero races to 500 squat, Enright races to 500 deadlift.

I'll take that bet.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

wheres your deadlift again? like 455 easy?

Matt W. response was not that helpful. It was obvious from his response that he was not really sure why he was doing a DE pressed like he did (except that is what Westside advocates).

I followed up, asking the signifigance of maintaining equal TUT, and he came back at me with the Law of Specificity: Train under the conditions of competition. Which, to me, reinforces my point. So, anyways, I will continue to train speed bench with a pause. I also found this very question answered at the EliteFTS Q&A a few times, and the reply was always in favor of using a pause if you lift in meets under IPF rules.

I think that make sense. There is a USAPL meet in St. Louis in March and I think I'm going to enter.

Also SSB = very hard.

I will be in a USAPL meet March 29 in Cleveland. They have a raw division so I'm good to go. I actually spent most of my afternoon zoned out at my desk and drew up a 10 week training cycle for the meet I'll start Jan 21.

Also SSB = very hard.

Pussy.
