***fuckin felt awesome to move some real weight like its my bitch. 800 felt lite and without knee wraps too. i usually go without knee wraps until i'm close to a meet cause i know i will bury depth with them. i go about 2 inches above parallel but these were reps. no worries there. on a side note, my partners(both 242s) were fuckin comparing their backs and traps last nite. this shit was funny to see. on has traps and the other has shoulders. so you can easily see who won out on this one. though there was said flexing going on but hard to see on camera. nice competitive spirt these two have and nice to have at a barbell club. would be nice for me to go head to head with another super in training....but shit is what it is...

I love following this log beast, it's been very interesting to see how you heavyweights like to get down in the weight room. The only thing that sucks is I don't even wanna post my numbers anymore, lol.

? for ya. Do you ever train on a below parrallel box and is it very helpful for more power out of the hole and for building strength in the hammy's. Also do you do any grip work and what's your take on wrist straps for Dl's?

That was some funny shit about your partners flexing in the mirror and what not.

i used to train off a box but was causing issues hittin depth so we train without the box. that shit has been soo much better cause i'm hittin depth or close to it more and more.

i used to do grip work(extreme grip work) like bending nails. i should go back to that cause holding weight in my hands was never a problem. yea...i bent some fuckin nails...like 100 in one sitting.

***tonite i just had to get some weight in my fuckin hands cause with all the benchin issues as of late, i was about to go insane. did some reverse bands and worked up to a PR of 765 for 3(at the bottom was 565). the weight didn't feel heavy to my surprise. maybe it was the pslin, powerfull, and perfect carb i was on before i lifted. then a fuckin hairy human being that called himself a lifter came up to me and told me i was using too much weight on the bar and can't do that. i think i was about to snap his ass in two. no fuckin wonder people in this city have low fuckin standards and prefer to be normal. my god! sorry. well i had to back the weight down for a set of 675 for 5 and then took off the lights and used just the minis and did 405 for 12, 500 for 5 and 500 for 3. somewhere in there i kindly asked a skinny douchebag to help me hold the bar in place. i might as well be speakin a different fuckin language cause he didn't understand and he said he was with a "client". i so wanted to break his ass as well! anyways, i did some ICG presses which is a combination of jm press/close-grip bench. this was awesome. not many movements can pre-exhaust my strong-ass triceps. awesome shit. moved onto dips and pushdowns and shoulders and was done. did 120s for 2 sets of 5. i think i might have scared a few people when i did those. oh well, tommorrow is dead day...oh and i almost forgot...when i did the 765 i was goin for the 4th rep when the plates fell off. awesome shit! terrorizing the gym...

***got up early this morning to hit a session with some old school powerlifters. the session was definitely old school for sure. hammering out back with 4 movements which i haven't done in a while and then did rack deads and hit 880 for 3 easy. finished up with some hammers, legs, and abs and i was done. best damn session i had in a while. last nite i was really motivated by a fellow super, seth coker. he was really enthusiastic about powerlifting which got me talkin a good bit and then this morning got to talkin with another powerlifter who has done the sport longer than i have and still love it. goes to show ya, we are a different breed from the rest...the gym i trained at was defintely hardcore for gym. it was the only one i hadn't gone to. reason being was they don't do guest passes or fees. WHAT?!? yea i said the same. i would love to train there but the membership is about $50 a month....but i do like the look of old equipment and nuthin but plates and bars around. they even had a old school squat rack for squats and push presses. badass..i love it. i hope i can go back there soon.

***tonite was a good session. benchin felt the strongest its been in a while. back in that katana again. may have to touch base with ken about a shirt...though i'm still waiting on the phenom. jon had a good nite. 705 3-board was a PR for him and was lowering the bar down faster when he went to wide grip. matt had an off night pretty much. his pec felt fine just was off was all. we had a new guy train with us, dave. he's 19 at 223 and had two bodybuilding contests and won the mr. teen alabama and wanted to do powerlifting because want to be strong and doesn't care about being on stage. benched with us tonite and got 500 off 3-board and missed 545 but wasn't a strength issue. he muscled up the 500 off 3-board but a little more time and technique he can get a 400+ raw and 500+ shirted bench. hell, he almost got 545 off 3-board. it was a great nite except for matt but he will get back on track. back to gettin strong now

[TheMilkMan]

I'm just amazed by the kind of weight you train with. Honestly, you're log is awesome and it makes me want to be the strongest guy in the gym. I'm even thinking about shooting for 275lbs in the near future to be certain the strength comes.

[Dlove]

I agree these numbers are insaine. I looked at the bar today when I had 225 on bench and thought of your 7 and change shirt press. I dont even think anyone else in my gym would have weight to use if you were training in there beast.

Im guessin you train with some EliteFTS guys not unless theres a whole breed of dudes outside of that arena that are hittin 2500 I'm not aware of.

Hey, I was wondering what the suicide board press is? I tried checkin youtube but all that came up was benching accidents, lol

yea...i'm part of the breed that elitefts doesn't know about. its fine. they don't know me and don't know what i'm fuckin capable of. i'm just the beast in the shadows that no one knows comin...that's fine by me. i like comin over the competitions shoulders and saying "surprise motherfucker!"

sorry...suicides are done starting with 4boards for 5 reps and then goin to 3boards for 5 reps and then goin to 2boards for 5 reps and so forth without rest. you hit failure(or should) when attempting the 5 reps full range.

only did one set cause matt blew the bands on his 2nd.

***i think the issue with the hips bein too wide maybe resolved. i was able to get depth easier with the metal squatter. it was awesome. killed 785 and muscled up 835 when i fell out of the groove for a slight second at the bottom. done without knee wraps as usual so 900 is possible. we are startin the coan dead program friday. but raw bench with dave on thursday and for a raw bench stuff we are goin to use minis to help with speed.

squats are comin up,

Thanks for the bad ass words of encouragement. I think at this point though I need to aim for attainable goals. I have never been the strongest guy in the gym because I always trained for BBing and aesthetics rather than being strong. I'm rehabbing an injury in my lower back right now and the only thing I can think about is getting that all healed up and then working on being as strong as possible. I'm going to take everything in stride and start small. I will be getting stronger though. There is no doubt about that.

LOL!! when i started this bench cycle before i did 350 for 17 reps so me hittin 345 for 23 was a huge jump. we took the bands off for the restabilization to take effect. we killed shoulders and triceps and was done. hittin deads/back with matt and jon tommorrow...however, i gave dave some learning material and a challenge that his eager to take on too...

***tonite was a great session. me and dave benched together while jon and matt would bench after us. kinda like benchin in shifts. anyways, dave, our new guy, got on the board tonite. killed 545 and 565 off 3-board and missed 605 at lockout. it was fuckin impressive on how easy he did 565. he made it look a lot easier than 545. he tried the rage x tonite too. it was awesome. dave got fired up a bit and wanted more weight on the bar. he told me afterwards that 605 or 565 didn't feel heavy. again, it was an awesome nite for him. jon had some issues with cramping that was probably related to being dehydrated. he was doin well and i see him hittin 725 next time. matt issues with his shoulder/pec continues. he was doin better than last week but still issues with the front delt on the left side. he's takin a month and doin some full-range raw work nuthin higher than 225. see what happens. its an odd issue to say the least and a lot of experienced lifters i've come across are clueless and even confused as to what happen so i'm all ears.
