I haven't been on here forever. I'm still grinding. Today was my off day nothing but big eats. Yesterday was my max effort day that looked something like this.

Pin Presses (set up about 3 inches off of chest)
455-475-490(slight bump)- 495(clean)

Weighted pushups ( 3 sets of 6 1 set of 20)

Weighted dips (4 sets of 6)

Smashed some New York style pizza post workout with a Strawberry cheesequake blizzard for dessert!!

Heavy Deadlifts tomorrow. Pulling from a 5" block. Stay Tuned!!

Friday I pulled big off of 5" blocks. Hit 595-605- and 615. Pretty happy with this. I plan to pull over 600 in August.

Saturday did some strongman.. Hit a PR of 270 on the log press missed 280.

Sundays bench session. Finished with a 440 floor press. This is a 5 lb. PR for me. I should be getting pretty close to 450 in a normal bench. My next meet is July 7th. Planning to finish north of 450.

I pulled against bands today. 445x3--455x3-- and 480x2 (Number 2 was hitched, couldn't do the third. These were against 2 orange EFS bands)

Currently weighing 335. Plan to compete at 308 in my bench meet in July.

It's hard for me to update this often. I can't get on using my phone.

Thanks man. I've been chasing my 600 deadlift for a long time. Looking into a push/pull meet in late august. Hoping to be a little north of 600 by that time.

Strongman day at Under The Bar in Lima, Ohio. If you haven't checked out this gym, you need to. It's going to be one of the best in Ohio. With exception of Westside, Lexen, and the sweattshop.. this is where it's at.

Worked up to a double with 250 on the log press. Flipped the 900+ tire. Did the yoke with 540.. The yoke absolutely destroys me. Easily my weakest lift or activity besides running.

Ate at Q's in Lima afterwards. It's my favorite BBQ joint. Had a full pound of pulled pork and three jumbo wings. Besides the sauce I did really well on carbs in the first half of the day. Had a wedding tonite with a buffet!! I had to have raised the average catering cost by $6 per plate.. lol. Smashed some beef roast and mashed potatoes!!

Big bench in the AM!!

Did revers strong band raw bench today. Took 515 easily. 565 easily.. Missed 575.. Came back and got it. Decent day for me.

However, look out for Seth Hipply. This 17 year old bench beast is going to do huge things. He did reverse strongs to a 2 board for 900 pounds!!! I think it's about time for Overkill Powerlifting gear to blow the fuck up!! We are looking for Seth to go well over 700 in late July.

Deadlifted from 4" blocks today.

600-610-620. 610 and 620 had a slight hitch. the 620 is 5 pounds heavier and an inch down from my last time doing box pulls.

Finished up with some T-bar rows and lat pulls. them messed with some grip work. Still can't lift the circus dumbbells. I did pinch 2-35 lb. plates with both hands.

06-05-12, 10:04 pm
Just messed with one-armed DB presses tonite, between training my girlfriend. I cannot get the 160-165lb. circus DB to save my life. Backed it down to 130 and worked with it. I was able to get it several times. Towards the end I was really zeroing in on my form. I'm determined to get one of the circus DB's before the summer is over.

Great night squatting.

Did cambered bar with haning chains. Worked up to 415 real weight with 210 in chains for a total of 625 at the top for a double. I was very happy with this. Not too shabby for not squatting in 2 months.. lol

Huge day benching at Muscleheads in Celina, Ohio today.

Went against bands today. Hit 320-340-375 and 380 against two purple bands.
Took the bands off and hit 450 for a big milestone single.

Went to triple 405 with a pause at the bottom and got it for 2. These really irritated my shoulder, so I called it a day.

50 pounds away and I can finally be proud of my bench. This has been a dream for awhile now.

Yo, what does Under The Bar plan to do with the new space since they are clearing out that wall?

More space. Steve Schmidt brought in his strongman and grip training stuff. It's much more open now. You need to check it out.
