Nice workout today. The 355 went just like the 345 did last week so that is a good sign and like most of you know anything I do with this comp grip is pretty much a PR b/c I usually do middle finger on ring. The only problem I had was using my lats. I have been having a ton of trouble with this lately and my lat use has been pretty much non existant

The floor presses were a lot harder than I remember. All heavy sets were done thumbless and felt awkard as hell. However, I changed my grip to thumbs wrapped around the bench and the 225 felt very solid. Will have to stick to that grip on floor presses from now on. I really need to work this again next week b/c my stablizers were weak as hell.

Other than that great fucking workout

Thanks bro that is what i'm hoping. To be honest right now i'm starting to think I might try to get down to 220 and compete in that weight class instead of 242's

[Q-BaLL]

yeah i think 220 would be your best bet..i wanna compete but my Dl is pathetic at my weight..

im hopeing to get down to 240 and see how i feel then maybe ill think about competeing

I was just looking at some meet results in monster muscle mags and in bench the 220 actually benched more weight than the guys in the 242's found that to be pretty odd. I was looking in the junior division also ages 20-24. So hell who knows

Great workout today. I had no lifting partner yet my speed bench was fast as hell. No matter where my hands were the bar was just flying. I had a few reps left in my on the db bench but felt no need to go to failure. By the time I got to lat pulls I was exhausted so I just settled for 2sets and called it a day

[Matt76]

dang i wish i was that age again

Some kid today was like telling me how I might not be able to make it in PL b/c i'd have to be able to handle 500+lbs so it could touch in my shirt. I was like bro I got nothing but time and energy not worried about it one bit. He was like well just don't be dissappointed. It was like he was trying to act like I wasn't doing well for my age and expierence level
