you have a comp this month joe?

Looks that way John. I think the 30th. It will be a light show, but they said it will be good to get me in the swing of things and see how a show flows. Ron may be doing it, but may be away on business.

 

[jcp2]

Attempted snatches for the first time.

A few reps at 135
a few at 145
a few at 155
165x1
175xmiss
175x1

Probably the hardest exercise to learn their is. At least that i have attempted

SS Bar box squats 8 sets of 2 wth 275 in about 4-5 minutes. Knee was really bothering me, this is left over from my fucked up leg from the stones, i may have to go see a doc.

Back attack 3x10

leg extensions. 3x20 Hoping this would help.

Monday

GM's 235, 285, 325x5, 350, 375, 400x3 first time doing these heavy in a while, these numbers are not good for me, but something to work from.

Reverse Hypers 210 2x15

left after this in discust as i was waiting for a rack for about an hour that somenoe was curling on.


Today.

Snatches, many singles working on form

155 3x3 some were good, some weren't so good.

SLDL's 365 2x8

Pendlay rows. 245 2x8

Rack pulls from very freakin high, ron wanted to do them so i did. Mainly as an upper back and trap exercise.

585x20
685x9

I can already feel my traps and upper back tightening. I am going to do these for a while, as my upper back and traps could probably use some more work.

nice rack pulls brotha.

 

[AngryMuscles]

fucking solid workout, bro. how did the snatching felt?? never tried BB snatching though..just DB.

 

[jcp2]

Wanted to do some jerks, my traps are more sore than they have ever been in my life. If anyone wants to hit their traps like they never have before, try some real heavy high rack deads. Well, got to 225 on the jerks and could barely do it as i was fried. So this is all i did today.

Strict shoulder presses standing. 135 2x8

incline dumbell 100's 15, 11

side laterals 20lbs 18, 11

hammer curls 45's 2x10

fat bar tri pushdowns 2x12

I could barely do anything and what i did do fucking killed. I got some funny looks as i was standing in the mirror in the locker room rubbing my traps, neck and shoulders down with a menthol rub.

 

[adidamps2]

I forgot to add Saturdays workout, i didn't do much. Just some axl clean and presses, didn't get a pr, missed 260. Some walking lunges, and some hands from a thck bar. Not much to write home about, it was raining here once again.
