Shane's Journey to 2800

marathon squat session on tuesday.. because it took forever to get my back to loosen up... I took a little nap after work and before traaining and could barely move... its all good after I got warmed up...

box squats with the blue bands and 475 bar weight.... first thing I did was work on my walk out... got that figuered out so its easy now....

alll i did was 6 working sets with 475, between that and the warm up took 1.5 hours... so I alled it a day and went to bed

I have been away from the computer for a whileso......

I dont remember what i did last thursday so, friday me and rhino drove down to brantford for a bench press meet on saturday, where I hit a 600 lbs bench for the firt time in a competition, I was pretty happy about that

I passed on my third because I heard my shirt stretch alot and i didnt want it to blow out...

sunday we went to a friend of ours that has a monolift andsquatted, I worked up to what I thinkmy opener will be in May, I did 865 for 2 singles with no kneee wraps, the first rep was really bad, I was tipping forward and cut it high so not to fall, so I took it again and crushed it... the weight feels really good on my back so I''m pretty pumped...

tuesday the 30th
my shoulder was mangled from squatting in waterloo and I couldnt unrack the bar at all, I coul;dnt even make it up to my working weight.... i ended up using the safety squat bar from ufgyms.com and managed to get tsome speed reps in

thursday 1st
it is weird in the template it calls for 2 board wroking up to a 1rm and then 3 brd working up to a 1rm so......

2 brd, worked up to 455 and hit it easy, went to 475, and i needed a little help but was a strong lock out, so a bout 465 or 470 would have been good.... went right to 3 brd and hit 485 and went to 495 and it was a crazy grinder but i got it... sweet I will take that...
\
followed that with dips ss with shrugs for 4 sets

in other news... I will be wuitting my job on May 6th and moving to Columbus Ohio to train at WESTSIDE BARBELL... this is a huge step for me and it will take me to the next level of the powerlifting world

Thanks buddy!!!!

now Its just ironing out all the details...
I got my bench shirt alterted after benching in Brantford so I tried it out tonight, I worked up to 545 to a 1 board for a double, then 545 for 1 to the chest, It was really hard to touch but the press was super easy, if i get this shirt dialed in I should be able to hit 700 in may,...... we will see

work up with a strong and an average band on the bar... feels about 300 at the top

135x5
225x3
315x2

435 was tough... lots of grinders, but overall speed was really good

Hey Shane I was wondering I know Louie and the guys at Westside are really big on using the machine for lower back that you kind of lay on with your legs hanging down and do kind of a strait leg curl/ext. I noticed we have this at the gym I go to but no one uses it and I don't want to try it unless I know how to use it properly any chance you could do a little how to video for that machine. I have had a lot of lower back problems due to how big I was and I would really like to start using it but need to know how first

thanks
