There is always a way to stay positive in a bad situation.

Deadlifting tomorrow.

Going to be planing out my training for the next 2 months and see how much strength I can get back . I feel if I can squat 500 , deadlift 500 and bench 350 + I will do alright in the 100% RAW event at the end of July.

Not sure if I'm going to be doing a program that I've done or just make something up . I do know that 1/2 , 1/4 and 1/8 squats / dead and bench will be a staple in my training for the next while

[Talo]

Squatted today . Missed a 385 ( below par ) . This is horrible . I won't be catching short Dave any time soon.

Rack pulls yesterday - 420 with chains for 3 .


Boooooo!

If this keeps up I might actually catch up with you guys. woo hoo.

[Talo]

I welcome the competition .

Bench today - 275 x 2

basically took the week to see where I stand so I can plan out my program.

My major issue is not having the 25's and 10's for smaller jumps. I can make due but still.

Weight 105kg's - need to drop 5kg's to make weight.

Deadlifts

warmup was 4 sets of 5 partials @ 265

full dead
2x4@265
5x1@425

too big of jumps ! But I do what I can.

Chin ups 3x10 ( in between deads )

bent over rows
3x10@205

quick workout , trying to get some kind of conditioning in while my strength comes back.

[Talo]

Floor press with reverse greens

2x10@205
2x3@365
1@425
3x5@425 added purple bands
Purple bands really helped take the weight off !

Banded face pulls 3x20
Banded tricep pushdowns 4x20
Overhead tricep ext - bar only.*

I was just looking at the Canadian Records for 100% RAW for the 100kg class . The total is almost 1100lbs. I can and will beat this , hopefully smash it

[tiramisu]

Only 1100 @ 220 pounds? That doesn't make much sense. 4,5,6 should be very doable for a strong guy in this class. An elite lifter can probably push that number closer to 2000.
Get your name on the list while you can, it won't take many serious lifters to put that number somewhere intimidating.

I agree. I don't PL but I could easily beat that. Granted I am in well over 220lbs but still...
