pullinbigs training log.

Mister 69 is right! Especially those adductors! You probably need to
do some speed stuff to get past that point.

top end work. i have good speed off my chest. i focussed on low end work this training cycle and neglected my top end work. glad it happened though. good learning experience.

 

[pullinbig]

Oh, and whats that trick that you developed to get a bigger arch?
(takes out notebook and pen).

im trying it out, its not my idea at all. but anyway instead of having my weight on my butt and traps ill have it on my traps and feet. my ass will be barely on the bench. its very uncomforatble but worked yesterday with light raw stuff. it also helps to keep shoulders shrugged back. i have a tendoncy to relax them which lengthens the stroke as you know.

we'll see what happens with it. i have to work on groin flexabilty as well to have a wider base. 2 more shirted benches till the next meet. its a charity event nonsanctioned meet so ill deffinately try it there. dont have another full power meet planned til january.

[mister69]

got that 700 pull real nice! i remember you got it last time but you said you cramped up right?

 

[pullinbig]

i have missed it several times over the last couple of years but nailed it tonight. the tips travis showed me made a big diference. i was beginning to think id never pull 7 but after today, 7 plus a bunch more on the way hopefully. it absolutely flew off the floor, never slowed down.

I apprecaite all your help peebs
tackle 700 hundo first then get to 8

 

[pullinbig]

i did 7 with bands but had no idea what it was.

the purple+green+135 is around 7 at lockout, acording to this chart. i have to check some measurements to be sure but its close.

good luck bubba. 1848 qualifies you for the seniors.
