Hey everyone, been around here for a while. Your board sponsor ROBO and I are on a journey for that 500 bench press, hopefully this year.
Will be going for it September 10th and again in October if I fail.
September will be a bench only meet and October will be a full power.
Not much time to...
Okay looks like it's time to pick a meet, going to hit the weights hard for a few more weeks then deload (the 20th me and the misses go on vacation)
So after that I will see what's available hopefully we can smash that 500

Today his some squats
3 triples nothing crazy
Then speed bench and over head press
Gonna hit a max effort bench in 3 weeks, letting my pec heal up some and focusing on speed and overhead work

stone loads will be in my routine now to help strengthen my posterior chain, and hopefully fix up my deadlift.
They are some hard work, but pretty fun.
I did 5x5 with the light stone and then 3 with the 200lbs stone in this clip

I had fun watching people deadlift today, excited to start my next training cycle and work on the pulls which I've largely ignored. Today just pulled a token pull so my bench would count. Enjoy the nip slip.
My squat was disappointing. I took an opener that I could get on the worse possible...
Oh my peaking phase
Which means very easy workouts and very low volume
Letting my body's fatigue recover and get ready to lift on the 30th when it matters

Long video,
515 for a smooth single, crooked as hell but smooth.
Got real excited and all the shit I lecture the team on went out the window... I decided the 11lbs collars didn't fucking count and the 2.5lbs certainly didn't count...So went for 550lbs which.... Failed.
First failed lift in...
507lbs after a small pyramid... Small is relative I guess every set is above 90% of my 1rm sooo... [emoji867]
467 x4
477 x3
487 x2
507 X1
Big barrier for me, but time to dial that squat back, April 9th we test max squat on competition bar. Plenty of time to recover [emoji123]
Special thanks...
A few thoughts on warmups:
A lot of people just don't do enough. They get to the gym and just hop under the bar.
Lately I have literally trippled the amount of rehab/prehab/warmup work that I do and my lifts and conditioning haven't ever felt better. If you are so poorly conditioned that some...
