its a temp. thing for now....jumpstarting the metabolism and staying within the 242 range. I've cleaned up the diet and going to keep the cardio to 2/3 times per week so that i dont get overally fat

LOL forrest gump day. Nice bro. Cardio is always a thrill.

yes like watching paint dry, grass grow or the other wonderful sayings out there for boredom.....its also nice when the treadmill breaks down mid session and you start over on a new one

[Roland]

Hey bro...was nice meeting you, hope you had fun. I know I did.

[Big Wides]

Hey bro...was nice meeting you, hope you had fun. I know I did.

nice meeting you to Roland. Had a blast


Well so far this cardio surge/cleaned up feeding (had ground chicken and almonds for lunch) I've had recently is helping I think with what I want it to do. Not getting on any scales till Saturday, cause if i'm close then I'll move forward with what I've got planned. Still trying to plan out my weights after the openers, maybe I'll shoot from the hip or go forward with a plan......

you doing all 3 lifts?

[Big Wides]

you doing all 3 lifts?

just squat and deads, having issues with my chest (old injury coming back) which is causing my lockouts to be uneven.

ahh, i'm not smart enough to back out of the bench....i'm just keeping my bench "reasonable"

[Malloy1344]

goodluck with that injury bro. May I ask what the old injury was ?

[Big Wides]

goodluck with that injury bro. May I ask what the old injury was ?

its nothing major, it just flares up from time to time. The injury was from my throwing days, its an inflamed tendon in the shoulder plus I had a slight right pec strain back in 05. I just listen to it and train accordingly, something that time has taught me to listen to my body or it will rebel.....which is not good

[Big Wides]

Squat Tech Day.....3/6

walk-outs - worked up to 550 (no belt or wraps)
leg ext - 3x12
leg curl - 3x12

walk outs are just how they sound, load up the bar unrack it, walk out like your going to squat (foot position and form) set for a 1 count then re-rack. feel this gets my body used to handle heavy weights. everything else was to get blood flow into the legs.

[Lowdown5]

Walk outs sound pretty interesting Wides.

once you get your feet set, and you act like you are going to squat the weight count for like 1 mississippi....you dont want to hurt yourself on these

chest 530 on 3/7 @ the most magical place on Earth (no its not Disney)

incline flys - 45x10, 65x8, 90x6, 100x4
steep incline db - 110x7, 125x6, 125x6
bench - 135x12, 225x8, 315x6, 365x4

thats all she wrote, short and sweet. like the steep inclines its a real test of chest strength IMO. although felt a little blah during this, still stuck through it. off tomorrow

also, as per your signing a gym membership a gym ettique course should be mandatory, but there i go again thinking in la la land.....

[eblnyc]

Winter Strength Challange:

BW - 251
Squat - 435 opener, 495 (clean), 535 (clean)
Deadlift - 465 opener, 535 (clean), 555 PR

Overall happy with today's numbers, lets me know where my strengths are and what I can do now. It was good to get out there and do this, I was told that I go to deep on my squats so I'll have to work on that. Learned a lot today on what to do and what not to do, and being conservative with the openers for me at this moment was not good

Hats off to McFly who toasted the whole field today moving mountains of weights, making them look easy. The crowd was in awe at the shear power coming from him

Back to work on Tuesday, between the past two weekends a new fire has be egnighted.....time to do work

Hey man numbers looking real good. Glad that was a good learning experience, as long as you walked away a little smarter its a definite success. You numbers a solid though congrats on your accomplishment....damn I cant wait to get back to the states to train with you guys.

[Dozer]

Awesome job bro! Keep up the good work!

[excessive endorphins]

Sick lifting bw! shit,looks like i have to step my game up with the deads! haha

[McFly]

I can't wait to see wides lift again....that cat probably can open with his 3rd attempts from this meet at the next one. dude has some nasty raw power!

BW, i gotta work on getting more of a what I'll call the "Big Wide squat stance", my narrow ballarina stance isn't going to cut it! and thanks for the deadlift tip, i think it helped on my last lift...that and the adrenaline from WAITING for them to figure out how to load the bar...LOL

[G Diesel]

Strong as fuck Wides... So proud of you my brother. You should've benched too, you would have more than held your own. We begin the next phase of the assault on Tuesday. Peace, G

[widdlewade44]

Awesome job bro, congrats! Great work and solid effort, peace.

[Big Wides]

Thank you all for your kind words and support.....i now gotta work on getting/breaking the 600 barrier for these two lifts. its going to take time and hard work to get there, I am ready to do what is necessary to achieve that next step. its going to be fun getting there.

And McFly, dont know who was going to flip out first on your last deadlift attempt, you or Big Al when they were trying to load the bar....

[Malloy1344]

Insane numbers there Bro. Awesome job at that meet. You'll be at the 600 mark in no time. Keep it goin big man.

[IRBS]

Nice work Wides, 600 is very close.

[Big Wides]

thanks guys, the tricky part now will be to find the weak areas and exploit them to make them stronger. looking to do maybe another meet either in the summer or winter. should give me time to get my strength up

[shortstack]

Nice numbers on the last few work outs. You def have the will power to get 600... I think that some kick ass pork chop Elvis sideburns along with the handlebars would help out alot.....but that's just my opinion.

Keep it up man, you make us all proud...and maybe just a little jealous. haha

First attempt in the squat my nerves got the best of me, but after that got my bearings and some fun with it. Dont know when the next time I'll do this again, but I will be back at it since it was a lot of fun with it, maybe winter of this year or early 09....

Back, 3/11/08 @ 730.....Back to work

pulldowns - 6 sets, stackx4 drop 70lbsx8 drop 70x15 on last set
underhand grip hs pulldowns - 4 sets, 3piesx9, 4piesx2 on last set
hs low rows - 4 sets, 4piesx6 on last set
behind neck pulldowns - 3setsx15-12 held for one count at bottom
pull-ups - 3, 3, 3
calf raises - 6x12
decline situps - 3x12
pulldown abs - 4x25

stayed away from anything that would upset the lower back being i pulled on sunday, wanted to get some blood into the back region. the hs pulldowns was a ball buster to get into the seat, let alone do the weight. Hit the abs pretty decent, need them stronger to lift the bigger weights......

[Lowdown5]

Good shit BW, strong!!!!

[eblnyc]

go wides go!! great shit dude..take care of that back..no injured reserve..

[Big Wides]

Good shit BW, strong!!!!

thanks LD, fire has been rekindled, and its burning real strong now. Starting to take those baby steps towards a bigger me, wherever the road takes me I'll be there trucking along, moving weights and standing next to mountains so that one day I can chop them down with the edge of my hand

go wides go!! great shit dude..take care of that back..no injured reserve..

thanks eblnyc, the back is fine, knock on wood. Didnt want to over stress the lower back so stayed more to friendly exercises to allow the muscle to rest, and when they rest they grow.....

are you stretching? ice pack for 15 min at a time? You know, right before my show I had a deep tissue massage and this friggin chick did something to my back cause I was in horrible pain for days before the show and i swelled too! I think I may have told you about this. I was so nervous cause I couldnt even bend down to touch my knees! Icing it helped and so did stretching but man the stretching was painful as hell.

I hear ya on the ab strength stuff...doing leg press today I felt my abs contracting a lot..need to hit abs hard these next months and strengthen that core and tranverse abdominus.

You and I have much work to do huh...never ends! LOL
Take care of that back Wides...and the whole stack on pd's? damn, damn, damn! LOL

should have said I was giving the low back rest since I pulled two days earlier, but yes I have been stretching, find that it keeps me limber and helps with the explosion of the floor. The work never does end but thats what makes all of this worthwhile.....Brunelleschi's Duomo in Florence was a challenge to build, lots of work went into it, but in the end it was the crowning moment of the era......we will put our work in now, face the challenges that come and like the Duomo, stand the test of time

It was a good one

[Big Wides]

Wheels, 3/13/08, 7:40pm...

Trained w/ G and Juggernaut at the infamous Globo Gym...they had balloons up marking our return....haha

Leg Extensions: 5 sets, Stack (320) x 12 on last set
Seated Leg Curls (Hamtractor): 5 sets, Stack x 12 on last set
Kneeling Unilateral Leg Curls: 3 sets x 10 reps
Leg Press: 5 sets, Dropset on last set (18 plates x 7 to 14 plates x 9 to 10 plates x 10 to 6 plates x 14 to 4 plates x 20)
Superset Seated Calf Raises w/ HS Horizontal Calf Raises: 5 sets each x 20-12 reps

Back at it with G and Juggernaut and it felt damn good. Those dropset on the leg press was a killer, had to go off into "la la" land towards the end. All that cardio has really helped my endurance on these types of things....LOL. Walked up the steps at work to my desk and each one was a killer which means we did it right last night. Chest today, might dig into ye olde brain to find something to shock it up

[Malloy1344]

Another killer leg session there Wides. Half the workout must have been unloading all those plates from the leg press!! Goodluck with standing/walking functions for the next few days.

[mchik]

that dropset seems absolutely brutal

Thanks Jim, the leg press did do the job. first leg training day in a while so you cant jump back into the loop at 100 mph. felt damn good

that dropset seems absolutely brutal

thanks mchik, dropsets not only test the muscular endurance but also mental since the shock on your body is greater than normal training.....sometimes it comes down to mind over matter.

[Toni69]

that was a killer session.I love drop set leg presses...you guys rocked it and lived to tell about it too! LOL NICE!

[Big Wides]

that was a killer session.I love drop set leg presses...you guys rocked it and lived to tell about it too! LOL NICE!

thanks Toni, i'm starting to like the drop sets with different exercises more and more lately. Don't know why but they are helping a lot with other lifts. Its weird when the whole gym looks at you when your training legs, no matter how many times we do different things, it all seems alien to them......

[excessive endorphins]

Nice work on legs,im def ready to tear mine up today!

[Lowdown5]

Great leg day, Globo Gym probably doesn't know what hit it.

[Big Wides]

Nice work on legs,im def ready to tear mine up today!

thanks bro, gotta hit them hard to grow. Majority of those out there want a large upper body but are scared to train their lower. I prefer to build up the lower body, why go walking around top heavy, you look like a cartoon character

Great leg day, Globo Gym probably doesn't know what hit it.

Thanks John, they were getting used to use three not training there for a while.....complacancy was running rampid until the three of us showed up and decided to push that bar a little higher than before

[excessive endorphins]

great point,i cant tell you how many times a day i look at my legs and go damnn they need to look better!

[eblnyc]

great work extra wides...wheels got worked..nothing but the best from you boys,always a motivating force for me to work harder..

chest 3/14....545 in an empty Globo Gym

bench - warmups, 285x9, 285x8, 345x4, 345x4, 365x1, 375x1, 385x1, 315x6 drop to 225x8 drop to 135x9
steep db incline - 95x8, 105x7, 125x5

saw someone at the gym using chains to squat, so being my meathead self went over and shot the shit with him....he's a 161lb just getting back into PL shape. today's session took a while to get into a groove however i judged it as i went along with what weights to use. was pumped as hell after the drop set, so it felt good to flush out the fibers

followed this up with 4 scoops of Torrent and 2 tablespoons of GH Stack with 20 oz water

very impressive just enough to beat the hell outa chest...

[Big Wides]

hit shoulders and arms yesterday early in the day, they were pretty tanked from the pressing on Friday so took it smartly and did some high rep stuff got a nice little pump out of them. arms consisted of supersets was pressed for time by the end of the session so pretty much my whole shoulder/tree ornament area was pumped.

Off today and cardio tomorrow, can't wait for that......ha

[Big Wides]

very impressive just enough to beat the hell outa chest...

thanks homer, dug that one out of the old memory log, i like the simplicity of training chest this way, just press and stretch

[Lowdown5]

Smart traininh, and have fun with the cardio.

[IRBS]

Nice benchin Wides!!! Always gotta touch base with a PLer when you see them!

[Toni69]

you know on friday right, this guy walks in my gym, lollipop in his mouth, not much to look at but he intrigued me for some reason. He minded his own business, didnt look at anyone, racked the bench press and did some solid warmup presses with 185. A few of the guys already training in the gym were watching him and smirking right. I knew something was up with this dude though. I think being around and into the sport as much as I am, I can just tell when someone is full of shit...like a poser lifter and when someone isnt; This dude was different. I watched him in the corner of my eye.

He gets on there, and gradually increases weight with every lift, sucking on that dam lollipop, ipod on..tuning out the world and paying attention only to his lifts.

He adds on 3 plates to each side, lies down, lifts his legs up and crosses them at the ankles, shifts his lollipop to the inside of cheek...unracks the weight and pumps out 12 reps! Like it was nothing! So, I look over at the other guys in my gym and made a smirk at them, saying yea..how you like that assholes?

They kinda make comments under their breadth and stare at him. He pumps out more bench presses, varying his weight and reps. Then he gets into skulls...135, fast and strong..I was like wooooah! I need to ask this dude what is up..cause for me, Im thinking..wo partner????

So I ask him, dude, what's up man? Where did you come from? He kinda looked at me in a daze and the guys in the gym were like...Toni shut up..you pissed him off.

I looked over my shoulder and said you shut the hell up. I turned back to the guy and he is in my face so I was like, ok...maybe I did piss him off...LOL

He told me he had his day in the limelight as a PL'r and he is getting back into it. I said getting back into it? It doesnt seem to me you ever left! We talked a bit, got a feel for one another I think...so maybe I could get something out of this. Im gonna work my way into his space if he becomes a regular at my gym! LOL

Just thought I would tell you about this...figured you would like the story.

Awesome benching bro! I just started adding dropsets to my bench routine. It's challenging, but I like the variety. How did those singles feel?

[Pizzalamp]

awesome day bro

[eblnyc]

wides you rule..great work..

[Young&Hungry]

Unleashing the pressing power of a beast as always brother, that dropset sounds brutal. Just curious how do you like the steep incline db's?

[Big Wides]

Smart traininh, and have fun with the cardio.

training smart allows many of us to prolong our endveors in training.....it was tough to throttle back but it needed to be done.....yeah the cardio should be a blast

Nice benchin Wides!!! Always gotta touch base with a PLer when you see them!

thanks IRBS, he was pretty chill and knew a great deal of knowledge. says that he also does a lot of work with kettlebells, this was the first time I've seen him there so I dont know if he is a regular

Kickin ass Wides. Your pressing strength is fantastic. How steep are you doing those inclines?

thanks Jim, if I had to guess at the incline I would say about 60-70 degrees by eyeballing it however was never really good with geometry or math for that matter

Awesome benching bro! I just started adding dropsets to my bench routine. It's challenging, but I like the variety. How did those singles feel?

Yeah I wont make them a staple, just do it every now and again to get shit going again. The singles felt pretty decent, main concern with them this week was working on getting the timing down. Played it smart with my jumps in weights, still having lockout issues on my right side that needs fixing so thats going to be a focal point from here on out, gotta get it resolved

awesome day bro

Thanks Pizza, was a good day

wides you rule..great work..

Thanks eblnyc, working hard to get big.....pulling out old tricks to meet new tricks, slowly getting there

Unleashing the pressing power of a beast as always brother, that dropset sounds brutal. Just curious how do you like the steep incline db's?

Thanks bro, the steep incline dbs I reallly like, it puts a great deal of stress on the extreme upper pec region but it also hits the front delts and tris real hard as well. I am usually sore for a while after I do them because of the shake up to my normal routine. I havent used them enough to notice any changes but I think I'll be hoping on the incline bench this week so if there are any changes in power it will be seen then

thats an awesome story Toni, walking in with a lolipop real cool about his buisness and got it done. Its great to notice that he had turned the world out around him, those who were mocking his movements and how he approached the lift, sitting there juding a book by its cover. He let his actions do his speaking for him and let those there notice that it doesnt matter what you look like physically, but what you have inside that counts when it comes to training and your mentality in this sport.

Careful about working into his space, sounds like he bites.....LOL. That would be great if you could get a regular person to either be your training partner, or have a reliable source to spot you on your heavy lifts....who knows maybe you'll be training with a lollipop in your cheek also

[Big Wides]

As I sit here dreaming of my cardio session later today (wooohooo). Was thinking about switching some things up a bit supp wise. Had this in mind and am open to suggestions:

Pak
Pump
Torrent
GH Max
Natural Sterol Complex
NOX3
Nitro or Amino 3100

I dont really like or do shakes all that often, rather eat food and trying to keep it simple, there is no need to go banannas with the goodies, in my opinion.

I love the idea of eating your meals and not drinking them. I am a huge believer in that. Yea it sucks to have to cook 6-8 meals but I feel that the benfits are so much greater if you do so. If you are looking for a sick ass Pump try throwing some Shock Therapy in there as well. Take the Shock Therapy 30 minutes before you workout, and then your Animal Pump 10 minutes after that with some gatorade. Try it- my pumps were threw the roof when I did.

[McFly]

Wides, you take your Pak once or twice a day?

I took GHmax for quite a while and it was well worth it...i just got lazy as of late with it and phased it out temporarily with my mutli-minerals and other supps (for the time being) decided to throw some new things at my body for a while and see what happens.

very simple and solid regime you are planning.

Looks solid to me. Not sure what your goals are right now, I think you are trying to get strong as balls but not fat...correct me if I got that wrong, LOL.

Anyway, here is what I have been doing for about 6-8 weeks, I call it IRBS supp experiment extraordinaire:

Pak
Real Gains (2-3 a day, I am an addict, I admit it)
Uniliver (6 tabs, 2-3 times a day)
Storm Pre-WO (ran out ST 4 weeks ago and Storm about 3 weeks ago, so I havent had a creatine supp in a while, I do like ST though, one of my favs)
Food, Food, Food

This is IRBS minimalistic supp experiment. Basically, the only big guns I have been using are Pak and RG...along with food. I am about to throw in some Nitro that I have and may throw in the GH Max and NS combo that you listed. I used that last fall and it was killer. Took about 3 weeks to get going, but solid stuff. Gotta get ST back too.

Less is more,

might have to give it a try, I used it back in the summer and I liked it but got away from it since I tend to build up a tolerance real quick to supps like ST

hmmm looks good to me-maybe some unilivers??

thought of that but they play hell with my digestive track, EAA maybe through the day to cover that

Only take 1 pak a day upon waking, I feel that with the way my diet is I cover a widespread amount of nutrients. I try not to overcomplicate what doesnt need to be, makes my brain hurt....LOL

Know we talked a bit about supps and what you use, so I'd like to hear what you have to say about the NOX3 and why you're thinking about tossing it into the stack.

I switch between NOX3 and ZMA as my pre-bed supplement. Ive been doing ZMA for quite some time now so its time to switch it up. Like with food and training, when variety is thrown in there it switches things up, hoping for a nice change from the NOX3

The House is a big fan of ZMA & NOx3 before bed. NOx3 would be good for the repair process, as it would open the passageways and circulate more blood to damaged muscle. Give it a shot, just stay away from Labrada!

[Malloy1344]

I like the supplement stack. You will like ST. It's a solid product. I'm currently using Pak,Uniliver,Torrent and a N.O product. Nice and simple. I am thinkin about getting some ZMA though.

Back on 3/18 at 730 in Disneyland since it was full of characters tonight:

Deads - barx8, 135x8, 225x5, 315x5, 405x5, 500x1, 545x1
Wide Grip Pullups - 5, 4, 4 (getting better at these)
HS High Row - 2piesx12, 3piesx12, 4piesx9, 5pies+25x2, 3piesx11
Rev. Grip Pulldown - 3x15-10

HS Horizontal Calf Raise - 6x15
Crunches - 4x30

I think thats all I did, was a good session got a lot accomplished. G did circuit training earlier in the day, I saw that and knew I had to pull big today to match his intensity.... 545 was a long pull but got it off the ground, dropped my head halfway through, going to start deading facing away from mirrors since I find I'm checking form halfway through the lift. No idea where the pullups came from but got them done. Off tomorrow, I am forcing myself to rest.

damn fine work super heavy duty wides..always kickin ass in killadelphia..

thanks eblnyc, its a survival plan we got going on here, to be bigger than those who want to take you down

wow! 545 is a damn good pull.

Thanks bro, getting there slowly

nice deads BW. I see 600 coming up soon! how high did you spring off the ground with the 545...I gotta develop the kind of explosiveness you have!!

haha.....there was a spring but it stopped mid thigh, at that point it was all brute force to lock it out. 600 would be a fantastic pull right now, working on getting there sooner than later

[Malloy1344]

Good pulling wides. I like your idea about pulling away from a mirror. I might try that as well. Can't be having and distractions when your lifting heavy weights.

[McFly]

See that's how calm and easy those lifts are for wides...while pulling 500+ pounds he can check himself out in the mirror realizing he has to adjust his hat next set and thinks he should have worn grey sweats instead of blue.

he has some BIG BIG NASTY lifts in him....you people watch!

Good pulling wides. I like your idea about pulling away from a mirror. I might try that as well. Can't be having and distractions when your lifting heavy weights.

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, if everything goes nuts then its back to pulling facing the mirror. I also did them in the middle of the floor instead of in a rack like normal since every Hanz und Franz were using them last night.

thanks for the kind words G, means a lot

545 on deads! Damn Wides! You need to rest tomorrow after a session like that!

I would normally hit up cardio today for a period of time, but saying no to that today. give the body a rest, its telling me it needs one. not going to argue with it, never works out in my favor

[Malloy1344]

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, if everything goes nuts then its back to pulling facing the mirror. I also did them in the middle of the floor instead of in a rack like normal since every Hanz und Franz were using them last night.



Were they doing hanging leg raises? Haha.

[excessive endorphins]

Thanks bro, your going to pass me soon can tell by the way you train. Was never a fan of snatch style deads, didnt like my hands being all the way out there for a pull.....but if it works stick with it

I trained it for a diff feel,im def not a fan ill tell you now.I wouldnt be able to hit 405 on that for awhile!

[mchik]

Those deads are awesome. I'm sure you needed the rest after those.

[LittleMan55]

Great pull work man! 545 is for sure a good one! Bet, the back was beat after it? I feel the pain on the monkeys using the racks had that happen a few times in the past.

Wheels, 3/20/08, 7:15pm...

Traided with G at the World Famous Globo Gym, Bucks County, PA...

Seated Leg Curls (Hamtractor): 5 sets, 285 x 10 on last set
Leg Extensions: 5 sets, 320 x 14 on last set
Kneeling Unilateral Leg Curls: 4 sets, 110 x 6 on last set
Hack Squats: 6 sets, 6 pies per side x 3 on last set
Superset of Seated Calf Raises w/ HS Horizontal Calf Raises: 5 sets each x 20-12 reps

That was the leg day, short sweet and to the point. Got a lot accomplished, the hack squat sets were all ball busters, but they are working wonders. Tried different foot placement on the calf exercises to see if that will help those lil guys grow.

Some sort of chest movement later today, might be rack presses, floor presses, inclines....it will be fun though

Great set Wides. Those Hacks are impressive. 6 pies is no joke. Whole calves will be growin in no time with the supersets like that.

[Big Wides]

Great set Wides. Those Hacks are impressive. 6 pies is no joke. Whole calves will be growin in no time with the supersets like that.

thanks Jim, the hacks for me allow a more narrow stance to preform the squat motion, so it hits different regions on my legs. The pump from the motion is insane, and yes lets hope for bigger calves

But did you eat your Corn Flakes last night? That is the question... Peace, G

Last night I did not, but they were part of my breakfast this morning....can't miss out on eating the world's most anabolic cereal

big day on inclines, did not know i had that stuff in me, I think the 340 is a PR but dont quote me on that, it felt very smooth. Tried the palms facing db press, got a good stretch however the PLer in me took over when the dbs were lowered (elbows were in a tucked position so as they came down my lats flexed couldnt get full ROM), so went to regular. did some stretching of the pecs followed by high rep stuff to flush it out.

Great day Wides, enjoy the session tomorrow.

thanks John, the 315 went up well so I figured why not go for the 340, if I got it good, if I didnt get it then I knew what needed work and how to fix it.

Thanks Mike, I've gotta keep up with your strong ass over in MN.....I've been trying to get the upper pecs built up, figured heavy flat bench works for the pecs, so heavy inclines has to help with the upper chest

Thanks bro, I feel that by the younger generation cats like ourselves going in and busting our balls each session we have will only have an even greater positive impact in this sport, not only within it but with the general population who sometimes fears those who lift heavy, eat to support their lifting, and who view life in a whole different light than those around us.

thats some heavy ass weight Wides! great job bro

thanks bro, gotta keep moving forward with the weight and reps, there are people out there warming up with this stuff.....I've gotta get there with them

Back, 3/25 at 745pm in Spandexland.....

partial deads (2"below knee) - warmups, 405x3, 495x3, 585x1, 605x0
db rows - 110x12, 125x17, 125x16
close grip pulldowns (with v-bar) - 3sets, stackx4 on last set
hs high row - 3 sets, 5pies per sidex5 on last set
Behind the Neck Pulldowns - 1 dropset

Calf Raises - 5x20
Pulldown Abs - 4x25

first time doing partials in a very long time, was a little weary about doing them since the last time i did them resulted in bad things. I know what a 605 deadlift feels like in my hands, the thing is now to get that son of a bitch moving. 125s are the highest dbs we have.....felt real good today, was soaked but felt good. Got shoulders tomorrow due to prior engagements on Saturday.....

Some people need to look in the almighty mirror before they train.....saw things tonight that I'm sure will give me nightmares

[Lowdown5]

Great session Wides, and 50 minutes of cardio, YOU DA MAN!!!

yeah boy! you'll get the 605!!!

just a thought, for what it's worth, maybe try your partials a tad higher fora few weeks so you ONLY can use your back in the movement, I am sure right now from the floor you have enough power to get it off the floor, just need to get the back use to the weight.

just my .02

I'm the opposite though, i don't have enough out of the hole, but I'm confident I have closer to 700 if i can develop some more power out from the bottom.
