raw bench
135x10 225x6 315x3
405x12-3-3-3(21 reps!)
***today was a great session. done a ton of reps as sort of a back off week for me on raw bench. the band popups are awesome. give them a try. it at least makes the smith machine fuckin useful for powerlifters. i was asked a ton of question as i was training at different gym, worlds in tuscaloosa. dave had some family issues to deal with so i hope things are ok with them. anyways, i did the machine tricep press the way frankl demonstrated with the grip on the curve. the bent over shrug laterals was done with a shrug at the beginning and holding it and goin into a lateral raise. defintely put more stress on the traps as well as the rear delts. i attempted 20 reps with 225 on shoulder press in one shot but only got 15. still not bad.
**today was deadlift day with matt and mason. boy are my hands ate up!! everything else is fine. matt pulled strong too. mason i believe is back gettin stronger again. it was fun gettin stares again at the aquatic center. though it took a few sets before matt removed the tampon out of his ass and pulled. LOL!! sunday we hope to have some more lifters than normal. lookin foward to it...did i mention how bad my hands hurts...
Beast... The amount of weight you move is incredible. It's awesome to see someone move that kinda weight day in a day out.
I was just curious what kinda mg/wk of Test you're running and how long you've been on?? Do you come off at all or do you blast and cruise?

***tonite was a good session. my setup felt more solid more than normal. matt is still rehabbing his shoulder/pec/rotator cuff issue with reverse bands with trent who made his return to BMBB. he's more motivated than before to get back to where he was a year ago. dave had another badass benchin session. he "muscled" up 605 and 625 off 3-boards. i say that cause he's still learning technique. he did a 525 2-board first time and it was easy for him so he can do more on those. he's comin along quickly on the bench and now we are goin to work on his squat until he can squat with us in january at least right now he can learn how to squat right. matt seems to be doin a bit better..the pec is doin better so it could be a few more weeks before he is back to benchin again. jon was MIA tonite so he will be squattin with us on tuesday. as for me, 705 for 3 was purely tricep work for sure! those smith machine popups are a keeper!

695x1(w/briefs)
805x2 805x2(w/ briefs and suit straps up)
***tonite was a good squat session. we needed to have some fun and did some reverse band squats with green bands. jon did 565 on reverse band front squats. missed 605. matt got 705 on reverse band squats raw and i burred 805 for 2 sets of 2 on squats. gettin a lot more used to the suit more and more. it was productive though we probably need a deload this point since the weight felt heavy on matt and jon.
***tonite was a great session. trained with dave and trent. dave got 280 for 18 reps and then did 315 for 10 after that. 380 was easy enough...16 reps was in the tank. trent is still in the building process from a year layoff. we went to seated shoulder presses where dave did 255 for 4 reps and i did 270 for 9 reps. we continued with rest of the session hammering out some shrugs, kroc rows, and popups. we focused a bit more tech work on dave tonite so he can learn to hold the weight out and he did that a lot more effectively. lookin foward to sunday...

**today was a great deadlift session. jon did 460 for 10 reps and they were his best i've seen him. matt did the same with 6 sets of 3. he wanted to give up but we kept pushing him. mason pulled with us today and his pulling has gotten a lot stronger. did 460 for 6 reps. i did ok...530 for 10. brought the bar closer to me and doin an "adam" on deadlifts...seems to work. everyone is lookin foward to the spf alabama meet in january.
you can simply youtube "kroc rows" and you will find them...they are interesting to watch. i'm doin a meet now in january for financial reasons. fuck. gives me more time to bust ass...how's training?

reverse band bench w/ rage x off 3-boards
515x1 605x1 695x1 785x1 875x1
***had a good bench session tonite. dave couldn't make it out cause of car issues, matt did some reverse band work. good news is, he's gettin better and jon is intent on keepin it that way. jon did 785 off 3-boards too...had he grooved it the way he had done the other sets, 785 would of been smoke show. trent did some reverse band raw work and made big improvement this week. jon had me go up to 875 off 3-boards and it was easy. reverse bands though so no big deal. the aim is to do it without them. i went back to my rage x to see how it felt for bein on the shelf for a year. it felt like it had magic still but the shoulders on it are pulled apart so the shirt doesn't say on my shoulders like it needs to. would like to get that repaired at some point since the shirt is still usuable to some degree.
It's goin but not as Id like but my t levels were sitting at 188 before I jumped back on test here 3 weeks ago or so. i gotta a nice increase in strength from my prop week 2 but going up in weight to quick has got my back knotting up a little and my psyiatic nerve not feelin so great. f it though i shuld be in full swin soon and feeling better.
Did you ever start your tren?
Whats your take on Inzers lever belt? I'm
not to sure I like it.
Props on your last 3 board press at 875 that some shit right there, looks like your bench is coming around more for ya.

***tonite was an awesome session. we had a new guy come squat with us. he's 180ish or so and easily got his squat form down. he went up to 425 w/o a belt which is impressive. trent did the same and his muscle memory is coming back big time. jon did front squats off the 531 program and got 375 for 7 reps easy but ran out of breath while holding the bar near his neck. matt had mason's briefs and did 745 for a single. he said it was about the same as his old briefs. i went up to 745 for a single without the suit and tried for a triple with 845 but no go. will get it next week...its awesome we are gettin this many members quickly. we have another one joinin us for squats next week. we are goin to work on some type of system of lifting...
a rotation would be nice,

***today was good session. 405 for 11 on raw bench and 290 for 9 was good. i misgrooved one of the reps on with 405 and would of gotten 12. the 290 for 9 was better than the 275 for 7 i did last week so that's an improvement. jon did 345 for 14 on bench and 220 for 12 on seated military presses. matt is on his "last" day of recovery right now so sunday will be the day to see how things are healed up.
I spoke to soon man I gave the lever another chance on box squats tuesday and got it really tight and it is so sweet I love it too, can't wait to DL with it saturday.
How low do you bring your JM Press? I see some bring to chin and others still up high.

Can't wait to see what happens when the tren comes in the picture, talk about bending the bar your gonna be flyin high.
Keep it up bigdog your gonna make your goal of cracking 2500 I can see it.

***today was shitty session...had a shitty day all round but what can say...it was fuckin friday the 13th! anyways, defintely goin to back down the numbers a bit on deads and work on hip and hammy work too. matt did awesome dispite not finishing his pulls. 585 for 1 and 490 for 4 sets of 3. jon did 490 for 7 reps i believe. great work. but i did learn a valuable lesson today though. most of this year i have been listening to everyone but my partners. since august i've been listening to those who mattered to me and my training which includes jon and matt. just because someone is a pro lifter or ranked #1 doesn't mean they know it all about lifting. listen to those who give a shit and don't put stock into someone because of their status. they may give you some ideas but everyone is goin to be different and your training partners and support are the most important factor to look at. though now i feel like mr.t in rocky 3..
those at the top aren't as hungry as the ones gettin there,

***tonite was a good session. it was just me and matt tonite. matt had his first session in his shirt using heavy. he's on the comback trail. i did 675 for 1 and did it again for 3 reps because i fucktard that first set. then i attempted 685 full range and hit it ok. me and matt talked about the lesson we learned over the weekend and now listening to the "team" matters the most. so we have a new direction at bama barbell. things are goin to change a bit cause we are goin to the next level. BEFORE ANYONE ASKS, burgett rows are taking a bar and using bands anchored on the top of the rack and doin like a standing pulldowns but to the stomach area. our lats are toasted. defintely a keeper...
***tonite was kinda like a speed session working on low box height which from what jon has told me and matt, its below where we normally squat. matt had some gear issues and went back into his metal briefs and got some strong sets with 585. we watched the "never enough" which helped us a lot on squat form. my hips was fried which i assume i'm squattin right. jon hips were fried too. makes sense though since my hips were shaking like a chicken last week. so deadlifting friday should be alot of fun. went to some ssb box squats afterwards for some reps raw to get some volume in and we were done.
***tonite was good session. benchin felt lite. 425 for 8 reps was fast. jon did 365 for 9. matt did some speed benchin with 225. it looked like his benchin is finally back again. shoulder presses was some good work. i did 305 for 8 reps and jon did 240 for 9. so far 531 seems to be workin ok. finished up with some JM presses and superset with laterals and pec deck. deadlift is up tommorrow and my hips seem to be ok...
