Ha, thanks Al! No belt, but I've got one on my wish list for Christmas. And I'm ready to load the bar. When BtB is down next week, we'll have to see what I can do.

Your deadlift form is good with a capital ood.

Thanks! I keep thinking there's something terribly wrong with it when I read T-Nation articles, but then I realize I pull more than their authors do.

So, rough day in the gym today. I've some several great days in a row, it was time for an off day I guess.

Clean, then Press for reps
Bar x 10
95 x 3
125 x 10
125 x 8
125 x 5
125 x 5 - missed the goal by 2 reps, repeat next week. On the up side, my old rep max @ 135 was 3. I think I've blown past that.

BB Row
195 x 9
195 x 6
195 x 5

And then failboat
DB Bench
50 x 5 - barely
70 x 0
Done. If I'm missing light weight, something is usually wrong and I don't need an injury right now. I may try for the second half of the session tonight or tomorrow, I may have just been pressed out after the OHP.

Still worked Brute! We all have those days like wtf! But like you said you've been smashing everything!

[BendtheBar]

Ignore it and come back strong.

Ha, very true Hunter. I'll crush it next time.

I thought I was supposed to switch to a 17 day non-linear quadratic 3-a-day split to shock my muscles into confusion or something!

No resets here, just going to repeat what I missed and progress where I can. It really wasn't that bad of a session, just disappointing. Next time I'll blow this time out of the water.

Seriously Brute, your form looks deadnuts on... Not to mention you make the 4 plates look light.

Nice clean and OHP.

And dumbells felt heavy and you called it before you hurt your neck again? That's win!
HaHa! J/K!

[ravimolasaria]

Haha, yes bad days always command complexity.
