ME Lower

Sumo Deads
worked up to 565 for a very easy, horrible form rep. I've never done these heavy before, missed 605 mid shin, the bar was about 3 inches too far away from my body, should be a HUGE pr next time I do these, lol.

Box Squats + blue bands

Speedy Deads-squats felt harder then they should, so I stayed at 315, in order to feel faster, not sure if it worked
315X10X1

Reverse Hypers
5 sets, 4 of them at 260 I believe, I continue to learn this machine, since I have recieved it, my lower back has pretty much been a steady cramp of blood.

GHR
bwX5X10

Abs...a bunch of stuff

Also did 20 pullups throughout workout. I will now do 20 pullups each workout, not sequential....yet, but I will always do 20. After much discusion with Pmart, we have decided this is the simplest way to increase lat strength, without adding a day in the gym. We shall see how it works.

In 2008 I actually decided, I should be able to rip off 20 pullups whenever I want. I started with 10 sets of 2 three days a week. Then 9X3, 8X4, 7X5, 6X6, 5X7, then I started doing 4X10 for a couple weeks. At this point I could do 20 pullups pretty much whenever I wanted. What happened you ask?.....Two things, first off I stopped doing them so often..."stupid".....secondly, I gained 60 lbs. Contrary to common opinion, pullups are MUCH harder when you're 300 lbs then 240....I know it is still just bodyweight and don't be fat and lazy...you're right...but it is still much more weight.

I will remedy this though, and soon be doing weighted pullups with ease:)

We had a great group today. five training events, was really nice to be able to move quickly with so many loaders/spotters/lifters. I hope everyone can keep coming out!

Rack Deads from 16" (my dead has always been more difficult in this position, 3 inches higher or lower and I do well, but this is a bad spot for me, thus us training it:)
triples up to 515, then singles at 605, a miss at 715, then came back and hit 645

Farmers, just getting used to the movement again
up to 320 for 30'

Keg carriesX several sets, didn't write these down

Keg loads
we spent a bunch of time teaching how to load, and I'm not sure what those reps were. But then hit some single with the big keg to 63", followed by 5 doubles really quick.

After this did some reverse hypers, then abs. Fun day.

Training 2/2

Me Upper

Reverse Band (blues) Bench Press
worked up to 455X1
Added 2 board
465X1
Miss at 475 off the board

I am excited this movement worked out pretty well. It takes the stress off my shoulder at the bottom, but still alows me to work with heavy weights. Bands were taking 130 off at the chest, and nothing at lockout.

Triceps Pushdowns
Bard+2 bluesX20/15/then 10 sets of 10
