matty_mcfly Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Back again! I'm back from my last two challenges and will likely be here for awhile until I make a decision about a meet early next year. I don't foresee any new "challenges" popping up besides challenging myself to get beast mode strong! I've been lacking with the gym sessions as of late. Hit the gym on Tuesday and then again today. 9/9 - Tuesday Morning915 Trial Bench Strength Day Benchtraining max: 205#(5x4 @ 80%) 1x5 @ 45#1x5 @ 85#1x5 @ 105#5x4 @ 165# Chin Ups - Done between work bench sets.5x3 Wide Grip Pause Bench4x5 @ 120# Seated Row Machine - Done between WGPB sets1x6 @ 90#3x6 @ 150# Squattraining max: 250#(Speed - 5x2 @ 80%) 1x5 @ 100#1x5 @ 125#5x2 @ 200# 2 Quote "I can.

El Exorcisto Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 RPS has their schedule up through most of 2015 at http://revolutionpowerlifting.com. How did you like Kang squats?

matty_mcfly Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 RPS has their schedule up through most of 2015 at http://revolutionpowerlifting.com.How did you like Kang squats?Is RPS mostly Northeast? Couldn't really look at everything but at quick glance I saw a lot of NJ, NY, Pa and Ct. Kang squats are...weird. They don't feel bad and it makes me really focus on keeping tight and driving my back/shoulders into the bar. Just new movement pattern Quote "I can. I will.

El Exorcisto Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 They do a few meets in Ohio but I think that's as far west as they go.

matty_mcfly Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ah yea can't get out to Ohio. I've been using this http://www.powerliftingwatch.com/powerlifting-meets and they only have 2014 last I checked. I didn't really know where else to check.Planned on asking my gym owner as I THINK he may have been president of the ADFPF at some point and as of 2 years ago held a bunch of meets at my regular gym.

matty_mcfly Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I've been a huge fan of Alan Thrall's YouTube page as of late. This one is about a nice explosive warm up to do before squats. I've played with the kneeling version the past few weeks, we'll see what happens... Quote "I can. I will.
