my best set is 700 for 4. thats with a suit though. my best with wraps and a belt is 650 for 3 or 4 cant remember. usually 495 is my last warm up set totally raw. I always squat as deep as I can go. I havent squatted regularly the last few months due to circumstances beyond my control so I just getting started back. forgot how much loved them. lookin forward to getting back to where i was a few months ago.

nothing like training with a powerlifter to put your own training into perspective. My old partner, whos ranked 1 or 2 in canada now, used to put up some crazy numbers that would just leave me shaking my head. He squats 900 in comp now, at the time was doing close to 800....I remember watching him do box squats, 6 plates a side, 10 sets of 3 reps with only 60 seconds rest in between sets
That would always bring me back to earth when my head go too big

ten sets of three would correlate to 2 or 3 vomint sessions outside.. lololol a good waste of peanust butter and jelly sandwhiches.

it was crazy watching him, not only was that a whole lot of weight, but for a guy 5'7" and around 280lbs, only 60 seconds rest is nuts

needsize where about in canada are you ?? alberta?

im in mississauga toronto

.. not oakland pullin' lol

what are rack pressses?

**pullinbig** · 03-02-2004, 05:22 PM

find a rack and press on it. lololololol

no not really, rack presses are done in the power rack. set a flat bench in the rack and set the support pins so that you are only moving the bar about 4-6 inches to lockout. Tremendous tricept work and aids in the lock out on flat bench. this is however a specific exercise aimed primarily at shirted benchers.

**pullinbig** · 03-02-2004, 10:45 PM

OK here it is, assistance day at the gym for bench work

4 borad presses
315x5
335x5
355x5
5 board presses
375x5
395x5
415x5

could have gone heavier but that is where is topped today and will start 20lbs heavier next week.

rack presses, these are done by adding thirty lbs ea set until you cannot do a set of 5.

405x5
435x5

had an emergency phone call from home, so i had to cut it short and leave. dont these people know that I am not to be disturbed at the gym?

anyway back and hammies work on thursday and shirt work on saturday. all my pards are going to the Arnoold so i may not have any spotters. if that be the case i may have to lose saturdays workout. oh well. one of my pards is benching at the arnold in the 198s and going for the all time world record of 683 in the 198s. he is hopin to hit 7 and i believe he will. here's a clip of him benching

excellent posts pullinbig, needsize.

A minor point: besides the DLs, coleman goes for 10-12 reps on ALL exercises. Was unfrigginbelievable seeing the guy go for 12 reps with 200lb DBs.

Same with the front squats where I think he went 5-6 plates a side for 10 reps.

03-03-2004, 04:54 AM

Incidentally, why do PLs wear these "suits" ? Why not just try for your max in the "raw" ?
No straps, belts, wraps, suits, ......

coleman does not do 10-12 reps on all other exercises. I saw him squatting and he hit 855 for 4. wraps and a belt. he is a converted PLer. he understands the principal that strength = size. not the other way around. compound movements are the key to strength gains not tricept kick backs and isolation db curls three times per week. I ocasionally do higher rep stuff in the off season, but its more of a break than for strength building. the body can only take so much constant bombing.

they have assited and none assited divisions. the suits, wraps, belt and shirts add support to protect the lifters. of course the more gear you wear the more you can lift. a good example of this is the dbl denim bench shirts. they completely protect the shoulder from damge. and for me that is nice cause i always have shoulder probs from the years of heavy pounding. good luck
