did chain suspended goodmornings today for an intended 5 rep max. old pr on it was 300x3, didn't fail just stopped there to avoid injury/overtraining. here's how it went
45x8
140x5
230x5
250x5
280x5
300x5 rep pr
320x5 pr
350x5 pr again
stopped there for the same reason as before, probably had some more in me but i'll save it for another day. had sean and erin watching my form and it never comprimised which i was very happy about!
pull throughs
green band 3x15
russian twist hand offs
5 kilo ball 4x16 (8 each side)
moved furniture and blocks all day so i cut it a lil short and just stretched for a little while.

planned on just doing a standard DE bench day but it turned out differently than i planned.
speed bench
45+65 in chains x5
135+65 in chains 8x3 paused first rep then touch and go for the last 2.
it all felt good mixed up grips and set ups to keep it fun.
tricep pushdowns
5x8 starting moderate and ending very heavy.
reverse pec/dec machine for rear delts
4x12 same thing
saw 2 friends walking in circles taking turns doing pullups and thought what the ? that was pretty odd! so i joined in with them and we did pull ups one right after another for 40 freakin minutes! oh it was such a deep deep burn, i swear we did over a thousand. i could feel it all the way from the upper uvulous to my lower dorsimous muscles. it was actually a lot of fun so i stopped there. good day aside from ripping a callus under the skin. i just have a pool of blood sitting in the skin on my palm now. woo

Not bad Derek looks like your always spicing things up with your training, certainly keeping things interesting.

thought i'd post up my squat video from my last meet. the legs on my suit were up by my nuts so you can see how much that helped. media.putfile.com/2006-IBP-SC-PL-Championships-34i'm first there, the man the myth the legend steve maxson is second and sean schumm is the 3rd. sean has worked with me a lot in the gym with technique and just discussing theory in general. |

D, I don't know how much you can travel for your training but hitting some of the other gym will help. Alot of people can offer advice but until you see thier body type it may be hard to get a visual. I don't know who you bench with but I have seen you a couple times and know you ain't a "Belly" bencher. Eddie Gordy does some AAU meets (Flat footed) so he may be able to help. Kyle down in Clayton and his group pretty much have the arch down to a science. You say you don't ffel well most days before you lift so are you eating enough to feed all this training? I take my hat off to you for being drug free, but with that takes a little more time to heal and a need for more nutrients.Your a hell of a nice guy and a good lifter.App. is a ways to drive but you could further your training by doing a little driving. If you want to hit AC any, you are welcome to crash @ our place if need be.

you make a lot of valid points there barry. unfortunately travel isn't a very frequent thing due to finances but i do want to visit other gyms like the ones you mentioned. i would love to come down and train with you guys even though i'm sure you would get tired of taking half the weight off so i could o. i'm hoping to do the aau push pull in august to try and get a couple other first timers out to a meet. i'm just going to deadlift for a few records while i'm there. i despise flat footed benching (as a rule), i think its rediculous and don't wish to compete that way. as far as belly benching goes, i wish! i just pick out a lower rib and go for it. most days i take in about 4,000 calories on a few occasions 5,000. the main reason for me being tired is i work at a golf course but i hardly ever mow. always out in the sun either weedeating or doing some kind of landscaping or like today moving furniture for 8.5 hours. no need to take any hats off for me being drug free, i appreciate it but it doesn't mean im any different from any other lifter. we all just move a bunch of weight! i'd like to know the addresses of all those gyms so i could figure out how to get there and know how long it would take to drive. i'm always open to suggestion and i appreciate everything not just you but everyone says on this board. thanks
