With Jon having to head out to eastern Pa early.. We got the lift in today.
Reverse band squat-no box, average band which was worth 130-135 pound at the bottom.
worked up 500ish and on briefs
600 with squat suit straps down
670ish straps up loosex1
725 strap loose
745x1 straps tight and I was a little bit about hips parallel.
Felt good though... weight wasn't that this week. It was nice not feeling like dog shit like I was the past 2 weeks.
Briefs were tighter and the suit was ok.. It still took me only 45 sec or so to slide it off.
Bench
worked with boards up to 405
455x1 on 2 board
495x1 on board
515x1 3board
515x1 2 board
515x1 1 board and missed.. I got loose on it and brought it to close to my stomache
535x1 on a 3 board for a havy lockout and got loose again on the board- missed it
The good news is that I'm feeling good with the weight. Bad news is that I'm a moron and keep getting loose. I'm having the same trouble touching heavy weight as I was with 405.

Max Effort Lower Body and Upper
Well, I have an eye infection in both eyes and I can't see to well and my alergies are killing me.. So I wasn't sure what was in store for today.
Box Squat Reverse Band- Light Bands
worked up to 405 ish and added briefs
545 ish Ace squatter straps down
585 straps up
605 switch to boss squat suit strap down. My first lift with these guys. They're still not really all that tight even after I had the hips brought in. I was planning on using just them with out briefs. It took me about 5 minutes to get them on over the not really tight briefs so they aren't exactly tight.
645 straps down
695 strap up
705 strap up.. it wasn't pretty but I got it. It need to get comfortable sitting back and keep my form tight. I have to fight the gear to sit back.
We test the bands.. It's about 75lbs at the bottom.
It was good to have that much weight on my back and to walk it out. Not having my contacts it was also weird but good. I had to feel the weight instead of looking at it in the mirror.
Bench- We were going to do reverse band we all feel that we need to get comfortable with touching with our shirts.
Raw up to 365- 3 board x2
405 3 boardx2
455 2 board
495 3 board... smoked it last week, clean rep this week
495 1 board.. had the shirt pretty tight and set up good. No touch. would've touched a 2 board.
I need to get comfortable handling serious weight with the shirt. Lockout hasn't been an issue yet. I was smoked so I didn't have it in me to go heavier.
There are pro and cons to doing max effort upper and lower work in the same day. Learning the gear make it tough but it should make the meet easier.

Max Effort Lower and Upper body
I got a stomach thing in the middle of Thursday morning and it lasted until Friday. I didn't hold anything in my system. Nor did I get any sleep for 2 days so i wasn't sure how it was going to go today....
Box squat worked up to 525 in 50 lbs incredments. Added briefs at 405 and Metal Ace squat suite with the straps down at 455.
Last week the briefs were the tightest they've been in a year. They're Titan Boss briefs which go to hell after some usage. They were tight laast week in the thighs which was a pleasant surprise. With the weight I lost from the stomach thing they weren't so tight this week.
missed 585.. I was mentally shit, I should hit it but just didn't feel it. So I dropped to 405 with my new Titan Boss squat suite. This is the first time trying it on and it was looser than expected. I should be able to get briefs on under it. Hit 405 with the straps down.. added 45's and hit 495 pretty easy. I had Ken Anderson take the hips in a little to make it tighter and it wasn't enough if I'm going to go just the suite..
Bench
worked up on feel today... and it felt good.
hit 495 on a 2 board and smoked it. That's a PR for me. It really was easier than 405. I didn't have to fight the shirt down as much which was fantastic.
I'm also getting much more stable and confident holding maximal weight with this being the third week.

Max Effort Upper and Lower
Max Effort Box Squat
135,185,225,275,315, 365, added briefs 405, 455, 495
added a the Metal Ace squat suit with the straps down for the workout...
445, 495, 545, 585, 635x1
missed 655.. I widened one of our squat racks so that I could squat wider. It turned out to be a pain in the ass. My Chucks were also slipping all of the place. The surface is hard wood so go figure that a basketball shoe would slide. I also had a rag to wipe them off and it didn't work. Next week I'll hit 665+. It wore myself out trying to set my feet. It was a CF trying get my feet set with a weight I haven't touched in over a year.
Bench
worked up raw to 315..
added shirt.. Metal Bash.. and sprayed the hell out of it with water.
365x2 on a 4 board
405x2 3 board
425x1 on a 2 board..
425x1 on a 1 board.. missed. I went to low and lost it.. I gave into the shirt
465x1 3 board
465x1 2 board.. was just short of touching but smoked the rep which was good.
My wrists didn't hurt so bad this week. I was much more stable with heavy weight. I also did get beat up as bad from the shirt. I was sore for 4 days last week.
