I tried unracking today and did 315lbs 2x and 405lbs 3x. The unracking part is the easy part. What am I really working, didn't walk it out or anything. Are you really gaining strength from this or is it for confidence?

hah nice vid, looked ez

ya what lbss said about confidence/strength.. when i was going really have on the unracks off high pins, the bar felt very light to me when squatting my normal depth.. "core strength" during my reps was improved, the "pain of the bar" wasn't there.. you get extra pain without that pad so, getting used to that bar digging into with much heavier weights you can really help.







Does the bar feel more comfortable doing regular squatting after all the dunracking? Whenever i get close to my 1rm (high 200's) the bar feels so heavy like its just pulling my body down. Not even when I'm squatting but when I'm deloading and walking backwards. 225 feels so much lighter. I've always wondered if it is something my body would adapt to as i increase the weight or not.

ya it felt lighter to me when i was hitting those heavy unracking sets.. now that i've moved the pins down though, it's taking alot out of me, with the increased ROM.. but ya the bar felt like a feather when i was doing the 475 lb unracks off high pins, 315-365 felt like nothing.

workout from yesterday:


04/28/2011
bw = 153
soreness = slight soreness in legs/calves
aches/injuries = left foot bunyon
diet = protein/water-drink + gatorade-drink(diluted), cardio-lifting-session(1 hour, 345 top set on pin 7 squat, mr half tucks, jump rope, box jumps, pushups, plate swings, chinups, calve raises}, protein/water-drink + gatorade-drink, hagendazs (quarter pint) + 2 brats on wheat bread + gatorade-drink(diluted), running with dog, protein/water-drink + vit-C-drink, bolthouse protein drink (whey+soy), big dog walk, cardio+lifting(...highest squat = 355 x 1, tons of 135 x 20 sets & calf raises 135 x 25-30.. lots of jump rope x 200 turns, 35 lb plate swings x 12-15}, protein/water-drink, turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickle + dirty's salt n vinegar chips + 2 gatorade

in first cardio lifting session, hit a bunch of 225 x 10 sets, 345 x 1 top set, mr half tucks felt real explosive.

second session had better cardio, that'll always be the case though, real hot during first session + i cramp up easier when i dont eat before hours before training.

04/30/2011
bw = 156
soreness = calve origin
aches/injuries = bunyon slightly, AT NIGHT: plantar fasciitis in right foot FML
fatigue=low
diet = 4 pieces of bread + veggie oil + gatorade, protein/water-drink, cardio-lift-session{great session, pin 7 squat, tons of 225 x 10+ sets, 275 x 10, 405 x 1 FAIL + 405 x 3, 225 x 20, lots of 200 turn jump rope sets, some plate swings (35 lb), some neutral grip pullups weak rom}, protein/water-drink, turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickle dipped in veggie oil, running with dog, protein/water-drink + green tea, dog walk, protein/water-drink + turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickle dipped in veggie o
il + vit-c-drink, protein/water-drink

so, hiller proved me wrong pretty much, on his jumping ability, props on that, so it caused me to rage during my cardio-lift workout.. decided to tinychat my workout for fun.. was pretty beast.. it's a pretty funny video once it's rendered, hard to see the lift properly cause im using my laptop webcam but whatever.. the tinychat convos + webcam is funny shit.

anyway i failed 405 x 1, got really pissed and hit 405 x 3 off pin 7.... that's a huge PR for me, because those pin's on my power rack are different than the ones at 24 hour fitness.. 'pin 7' is lower on my powertec than pin 7 @ 24hour fitness, and it's not really pin 6/7 on my powertec i just call it that to relate it to the 24hour fitness pin heights..

anyway, good workout, just murked everything, was kinda like this:
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 275 x 10
jump rope 200 turns
squat 345 x 1
jump rope 100 turns
squat 385 x 1
jump rope 100 turns
squat 405 x fail
squat 405 x 3
jump rope 100 turns
calve raise 225 x 10 + squat 225 x 10 + calve raise x 10 all in one set
jump rope 100 turns
squat 225 x 20

so ya kinda like that.. with some other crap mixed in

anyway uploading vid tomorrow, should take forever, shit is taking 8 hours to render and probably 8 hours to upload haha.

pC

hopefully foot feels good tomorrow so i can dunk hard.

pC x 2











edit: my plan is to dominate pin 7 before going back to pin 6.. so, hit 475+ on pin 7, then go down to pin 6 and try to hit those numbers there.. i love this top down approach.

Really shows me how much work I have to do.  Was feeling pretty good about squatting 225 yesterday and that's like not even a warm up weight for you, AND you weigh like 40 pounds less!!!  Amazing stuff.

405 x 3 pin 7 @ 156



dude, i just realized you told me u hit 405 x 3 and I was fucking so pre occupied and selfish with all this other shit  tonight it didnt even process, but GOOD FUCKING JOB MAN@$@$@  srsly good work, thats beast lvl. :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:



hah it's all good, u missed it live though...

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXZj4Wy58Pk&feature=youtube_gdata_player









What the fuck? 405x3? Not unracking, squat, right, SQUAT?


ya pin 7 though, not pin 6.. pin 7 on my powertec is only ~2" higher than pin 6, so im definitely happy about it.. the cool thing is, i did my low unracking pins (unracking pin minus 4 or whatever) then hit that 405 x 3.. so that's a pretty low (for me) 405 concentric, then those 3 reps.

:F

peace man







Really shows me how much work I have to do.  Was feeling pretty good about squatting 225 yesterday and that's like not even a warm up weight for you, AND you weigh like 40 pounds less!!!  Amazing stuff. 

well i do squat pretty high (in depth) lol.. but ya i have gotten pretty strong with that bar on my back.. 225 on my back feels like a toy now.

appreciate the compliment man... i half squat though so, hard to compare to people who squat deep etc, but i have FREAKY half squat goals.. i'd like to hit 500+ off pin 6 at ~150 lb... got to get 475-485 off pin 7 first, then ill go back to pin 6 and try to get it.

peace man






Yeah your squat was alright I guess...


I'm fucking with you bro FUCKING BEAST MODE!!! All that's needed now is head to rim!

thanks man, and thanks for making fun of me on tinychat u lil bish..

:F






adarq u got ur eyes on the prize mayne.

405 x 3, thats some serious shit. keep pushing. Lead by example, never content.

thanks mang, and ya, 500 x 1 @ 150 off pin 6, that's the goal.

405x3?.

lol..... the beard does seem to make me stronger, it's odd.. every time i grow it out i pretty much peak my hops/strenf.
