squats & deads bw: 278
squats(w/ belt and briefs only!) 505/1 555/1 605/10 605/5
deads(w/ belt and wrist wraps only!) 405/1 500/5-2-5
abs and adductor work
***i work up in the middle of the night with only 605 for 10 reps only my mind, show how lonely am i...LOL!!(insert joey comment)but inspired by my bro brian who vid i saw of him doin 700+ for reps easy...tried to duplicate the 2nd set...didn't happen. got 5 reps. then onto deads where wearing a belt was now a factor. not using one in so long(and this is the first session where i used a belt in a month)kinda threw me off but my core has gotten stronger though...powered thru every rep on deads and squats. on a side note...the apartment situation is a done deal unless having nothing on your background check goes against ya...i'll be turning that into them tommorrow and hopefully get a move-in date...joey...get my vid ready!!

deload(supposed to be that is...) bench bw:281
speed bench w/ dbl minis 225/10x3(ALL FAST!!)
**shirted bench(58 metal viking) 405/1(2) 455/1(2) 500/1(2) 525/1(2*) 545/1(2*) 605/1(3*) 500/1(2*!)
decline bench 315/6 315/8
dips BW/3x15
brandenburg pulldowns 100/3x10
front raises 20/3x10
pushdowns 150/3x15
***i trained with randy(mr.600) tonite and yes...he is a 600-bound bencher with the shirt he's using now. he did a smooth 545. feels awesome to be training with someone who has the same long-arms as i do...LOL!! he just has to work on dropping it faster and under control. your setup looks awesome brother! he also worked up to a VERY easy 315 raw...talk about sandbagging...LOL!! he had it in him for at least 365 before goin into his shirt....but i didn't want to take him out of his comfort zone on what he can handle raw. really enjoyed training with randy tonite and hope to do more sessions in the future but with more people...either that or randy will just have to get stronger lifting off...LOL!!
anyways, i did speed work started out close-grip, medium-grip and then wide-grip. all were very fast...i was very surprised...this is the 2nd evidence that my off-chest strength has gone up big time!! i did speed bench with dbl minis and even after i was done didn't feel like it took a lot out of me...so my conditioning has mysteriously came up...wonder how that happened?
what happened next was totally randy's fault...LOL!! he wanted me to try(well lets face it...he didn't have to do much convincing) his metal viking that was too big for him at size 58. well i tried it and 405 flew up like i wasn't nothing. i was really surprised at this. none of my shirts save karin dbl denim has came close to the amount of pop i got out of this shirt. i went 455, 500, and 545 and it was the same thing. we also focused on dropping the bar straight down as supposed to the belly like i have been. i have more power bringing it straight down and that's what these * meant...that i brought it straight down and BAM! flew up like bitch weight....sorry paul...i can't even get this much pop out of the rage x!! then i had to try it...605 and brought it to a 3board(straight down) and exploded like a bomb...this shirt was fuckin amazing!! after that i did 500 and it was bitch weight and i dropped it faster...it came up even faster!! i believe i'm about hooked on this metal big time!! i see why joey has been gettin success out of this shirt!! there is no comparision with metal to inzer...this shirt didn't cut me quickly as the inzer did in the past...
after that i did some declines with 315 for 2 sets and some dips again doin 3 sets of 15...they were a bit harder this week. then did some brandenburg pulldowns which randy finally showed me as well as some front delt raises, and some pushdowns and that was it.
even though i went off program this week for a change of pace, this was a productive session still. i'll resume gillespie's routine next week with the last 3 weeks remaining. i'm also doin to take another deload before the final session.
on a side note....got the keys to my new apartment in leeds, alabama(east birmingham) so i'll be moving in on saturday and taking some stuff over during the week when i can. pretty excited that stress is done. thanx jason for the push. good thing i didn't buy too much furniture...LOL!!
