Laghail Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 13 hours ago, Blocky said: He probably meant sleeves and wraps... but I concur. The only way they will add anything is if you were somehow able to squat down, quickly grab the bar and stand up again in one smooth motion, but you would need perfect timing and a super strong back. As soon as the bar weight tugs you out of position you will just get fucked up. I sometimes wear sleeves just for the warmth aspect on my warm up sets but they get super annoying when you try and navigate a heavier load past the knee. Helpful input from you both and thanks for translating my typo. Gunna ignore sleeves until I sign up for another 3 event meet. 2 Quote Level 34 [Yorkie Packmaster] Link to post

Laghail Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hit a fun PR of 475 on DL on Saturday. Last 1rep PR was 465 in February, but I hit two reps this weekend. 531 nonsense, they really frown on 1rep attempts and propose an "everyone is a winner" approach to 3, 5, 8, ect rep PR's. Likely a healthier strategy that makes me do more overall work instead of living and dying by the 1rm, but, teh pridez... Back to 5 rep sets this week and squat felt heavy at 335 (too much memorial day ice cream but no ragrats), and barbell complex at 135 had me taking suspiciously long pauses between sets. Might need to down tick the weight to keep it an actual flow for all 36-48 reps. Crazy busy weekend with unpacking and seeing some friends and family, but it's good for the soul I suppose. Grabbed a few mins to meditate and yoga, because sanity reasons. And I even dusted off the duolingo app. #progress. Oh yeah, and tracking, hard pass over this weekend. Who even does holiday tracking?? 10 Quote Level 34 [Yorkie Packmaster] Link to post

I also understand that a rep PR is a PR but I do not get the same adrenaline/happy rush as I do with a near death one rep so I do not keep track of anything but those.

I couldn't tell you off-hand what my 8 rep PR is, but it's in a doc somewhere. Usually 1rep PR tracking is just something I do to monitor ratios (is my deadlift lagging vs my squat? ) or calculate the next cycle of 531. 2 Quote Level 34 [Yorkie Packmaster] Link to post
