Joey, we are riding down the morning of, but we'll be weighing in early fri. Quess we'll see you one of the two days for sure.
8/8 M/E squat-deadlift
rackpull......raw (just below knee,conventional since my knee still hurts)
135x10
225x5
315x3
365x3
405x3
455x3
495x3
545x3
585x1
My plan since i haven't pulled conventional since april of 04 is to work up to 635-650 at this pin height then drop a pin & so on. Picking a target weight and bringing it closer to the floor has worked well in the past and also has worked very well for me in the bench as well so with no other choices at this time i'll give it a shot and see what happens.

8/12 Me and jonathan did Marc Bartley & Donnie Thompsons seminar they but on in columbia, had a great time learned lots to boot.I felt like i did a full meet when they got through with us. Here's what we did......
parallel box squat w/breifs using a buffalow bar w/purple,green,and blue bands attached per side.
145x5
235x5
325x2
375x2
415x1.....heavy as hell at the top with all that band tension.
speed dead lift
225x3
315x3
405x3x2 sets
rack pulls....at the knees
225x3
315x3
405x3
495x3
585x3....w/straps
675x1....w/straps
bench work
2 brds with 135 on the bar. We started with one mini and kept adding them till we got stopped. I ended up with 4 minis & a purple on each side.Then we done speed work with a fat bar & 2 sets of chains on each side for 4 sets of 3. Then ended up with some kettlebell work. Thats it cause i had nothing left.

Joey you hit the nail on the head! To many people think they know it all and it just limits their success.Stacey kettlebells look like a cannon ball w/a handle on it.You can do various exercises with them but i couldn't begin to explain them. Check out elitefts.com i think they have some exercises w/ pictures on there site.
