DL Day

Today was DL day. I've been training for this day for some time now, ever sence the meet in Duluth I realized everyone and their brother can pull 600lbs. So, it is now my goal to pull 600 lbs. Anyway worked up to 545 for two singles. The second one was kinda a double knee bend. Then I popped an amonia cap and gave it my all for 585. I got up to about my knees but that was it. Good times though. After that did some front squats 5x5 first time in years worked up to 245, then some GMs 3x8 at 135. Then some glute ham raises paired with bench hops. Quick and dirty today. Tonight is the opening night of kickball playoffs, I'm about to go get me some!

I have got to keep doing this...

So, a lot has changed since I last wrote up here. I did the USAPL meet in the end of June I totaled 1362 raw. a 507 squat a 349 bench and a 407 gift of a dead lift. I'm really digging this powerlifting stuff. I've given a few trys on geared lifting and I like it. In fact I have a squat suit, a bench shirt, and some knee wraps on the way, so I'm pumped.

I hit the 600 squat mark last week, the bar rolled up about 2 inches on my back so it was really uncomfortable.
I've done a lot of rack pulls in the past month, tomorrow I'll attempt to hit 585 raw from the floor this should be good.
Yesterday I hit 495 for a triple off a 14 inch box and I benched 365 for a 1 + 1 with 15 sec. in bewteen. That was huge I've never been able to do that and it popped off my chest. I'm in the process of writing my next 11 weeks up to my next meet. October 31st I'm planing on doing it equipped so I've got a lot of work to do.
