^LOL
Also im not sure what i said is correct, re arms/legs/toro lengths.
I remember Lance saying that long legs and short torso harm the squat form , create forward lean etc , making it harder in other words. But for deadlift it was just a chat in here , about mutumbo's huge deadlift.
As for RDL/DL , i was the only one that voted RDL and i am changing it too. I did 1x286 after not regular DLing for 3 years and with my left quad injured, while the 8x253 RDL PR was achieved after a couple of months of weekly progressive overloading.

Edit:
My explanation about hands/torso lengths:
In regular deadlifts, for a given back position , the longer hands and shorter torso you have, the higher 'squat position' your legs will be in the deadlift start, it's like turning the DL to 'half' DL ( in an analogy with squats/half squats ). It is the same ROM but the starting body setup is more advantageous to produce strength.
For RDLs, longer hands reduce the ROM since the end of the movement is standard ( below knee ) while the starting point is lower with long hands.
Nothing to back those thoughts up though, just pulling them out of my hairy ass!

Bodyweight@session : ~187,  , season low
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : Left quad, FML!

JUMP SNATCHES:
3@55 ( same )
3@66 ( same )
3@77 ( same )
3@88 ( same )
3@99 ( same )
-Feels like i am getting better with solid technique. 55 and 66 is rather a waste now. Reevaluation film soon.
-99 still not so good but better than last time.

SQUATS:
5@176 lbs , full
-176 was awesome, stepped out of the cage and it seems that the mental block of hitting the safety bars restrained my ROM, ATG was easy.
-On the bad side , quad started hurting after first set , couldn't even walk right so i stopped.

DEADLIFTS:
3@132
3@176
3@220
3@264
1@286 , 1RM 
-Last time i deadlifted was 3 years ago , PR was 4x268.
-Could go for a heavier set too but decided not to push it yet.

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x15@209 lbs ( +11 lbs )
1x15@209 lbs ( same )
1x15@209 lbs ( same )

SHOULDERS SEATED OHP , Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):
93,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ):
10 + 7 + 4 , total = 21reps ( -9 reps )
-Run out of juice , AM + light breakfast to blame.

WIDE GRIP LAT PULLDOWNS, Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):
Skipped , out of juice.

-Been eating light lately as shown from season low BW. Gotta plan those workouts with more filled tanks.
-Quad keeps coming back, gonna skip squats for a while , 1 or 2 weeks , replace them with DLs and RDLs and see what happens.

Bodyweight@session : ~190,5
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : left quad?


Explosive lower workout.

HANG POWER CLEANS:
3@88 lbs ( same )
3@110 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@121 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@132 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@137,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
-Nice , increased load with solid technique.
-Upper forearms getting sore again , i guess part of the 'new' pull. Film to re-evaluate soon.

EXPLOSIVE PARALLEL BOX SQUATS :

3@198 lbs ( -22 lbs )
3@220 lbs ( -11 lbs )
3@242 lbs ( same )
3@264 lbs ( +33 lbs ) , ties 3RM 
-Quad aching a bit at concentric start but much less. Should be at ~95%
-Changed to lighter starting point and 22lbs increments to cover a wider %1RM percentage span.
-3RM not explosive , last rep grinder. Not bad for a 3RM PR tie.

BENCH PRESS , Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):
115,5lbs ( same ) :
9 + 7 + 5 , total = 21reps ( same )

SEATED MACHINE ROWS , Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):

5 May 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~192
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : Apparently injured left quad.

JUMP SNATCHES:
3@55 ( same )
3@66 ( same )
3@77 ( same )
3@88 ( same )
3@99 ( same )
-Same loads again for technique adjustments. Up to 88 very good. 99 was suddenly very bad.

SQUATS:
5@176 lbs , full
5@198 lbs , parallel
5@220 lbs half
5@220 lbs half
5@220 lbs half
-FML , quad pain again although i rested for 4 days. Pain appears in the full squat ROM , mostly on concentric.
-Was much better than last time though , no pain in half squats. Could load more but decided not to push it.

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x15@198 lbs ( same )
1x15@209 lbs ( +11 lbs )
1x15@209 lbs ( +11 lbs )
-All good here. 15x209 is season PR at this machine.

Don't know what's wrong with quad, probably some light pull during last week's dunking.
Will add some stretching and recovery stuff ( submax sprints ) in my schedule, take it easy and see how it goes.

^Well , 9 consecutive dropstep tomahawks seemed beasty to me.
He is 6'6'' so supposing a reach between 8'6'' and 9'' and also supposing he gets ~15'' above rim to throw down those tomahawks, those jumps would be in the 27 to 33 area. 
So yeah , not that beasty overall, maybe not even close!
