Lot's of solid numbers there, nice work!

All I can say is yet another outstanding bunch of sessions from a real powerhouse

I like the deadlift/OHP press combo days.

And what's the new nickname? Imp?

Thank you very muck Kuyt, but I wouldn't quite call myself a powerhouse yet!

I'm going to give it a go next week BtB, see how that goes might make cleaning easier after deadlifting a much heavier weight.

And yes that would be the name, I don't know why but I like it.

2/14/12

Deadlift
475x4
475x4
475x3
425x10 (took a couple of breath in between the last two reps, kind of treated those reps like 20 rep squats)

Back was feeling great, thought about doing a few more sets with 475 but didn't want to over do it quite yet.

Rack Pulls
495x2
495x1
495x1
495x1
Skipped last set, wasn't feeling it after the 4th one.

Anderson 1/2 Squats (min or so rest in between)
385x1
385x1
385x0 (didn't budge)
385x1
385x1
385x1
385x1
385x1
385x1
385x1
385x0 (didn't budge)

Side-bends
80x9
80x9
80x8
80x7

Notes: Was feeling great coming in today, deadlifting felt light and back feels fantastic. Could have done a another few sets with deadlift and been fine, but remembered I still had rackpulls so saved them for that.

Went With chaos & pain type setup for andersons since I remembered last week having hip pains with more then one rep on these. Seems to have worked really well, kindof weird that on axle C&P I failed on the 3rd rep then the same thing on andersons.

Forgot to do the advice Mike told me about, will definitely try friday.

My pro-monster minis came in today, really can't wait to try them. They are the short bands, and should get 90 pounds at the top on both sides. I think it also said around 35 on my chest can't remember.

30 mins of sprinting, pushed myself a little harder today on sprints. Forgot I had a project due today so was up pretty late last night, only got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep so a little sore.

Huge deadlifts! 425x10 is just beastly.
