Did push presses today for the first time. Damn... Those are hard.
Was only able to get 155. Shoulders were already a bit fatigued. Some of you SOBs are strong. Will try again on Monday.0 -

Push pressing is much easier on my shoulders too. My elbows are healthy again after almost ruining them performing upright rows. Terrible lift.Back on topic- I generally include OHP_ only because I suck at it- If I had my druthers- I would do a push press- I prefer it to OHP. For several reasons- it's easier on my effed up elbows/shoulders and I can control my lordosis a little better- rather than winding up pushing with more back then leg as it gets heavier.
I will 100% NOT do that lift. EVER.
Upright rows are just torture for me- so for that stuff- I do lateral and front lifts- but not up right rows. getting bigger shoulders aren't worth it.
The only other direct work I do on my delts are rear delts flyes. Totally old video here...

... and make funny faces.
(I was also nursing an elbow injury from upright rows, hence the elbow sleeve.)
first, this is hot even with the crazy faces. Just sayin.
second, how heavy are those dbs? I did these yesterday and I won't mention how light mine were, but yours don't look much bigger...so maybe I'm not as weak as I felt.
You haven't seen my deadlift face then....
Probably around 15 or 20 lbs. but for high reps. Now I'll hit them with in the 50 to 70 pound range but when I made that video I was still getting back in shape. I just hit them Tuesday with 35 lbs, but will increase that when I finally get back on program next week.0 -
Checking...Amazing lifting face. You look a lot like LAbeast btw (check out his youtube channel if you've never seen it - skippy62able is the name). Like a less dumb/meathead version anyway.
Yeah I guess sorta look like him, probably because I am only just a less looking dumb/meathead version of him.

She's a pop star- very like drugs and rock and roll and sex kind of hot mess singing- but I don't think she's actually jumped off the deep end- she sings like Brittany spears was living live. lol0 -

Probably around 15 or 20 lbs. but for high reps. Now I'll hit them with in the 50 to 70 pound range but when I made that video I was still getting back in shape. I just hit them Tuesday with 35 lbs, but will increase that when I finally get back on program next week.
<--- weak. Confirmed. Mine were 10s for high reps. In my defense, my shoulders aren't as ginormously beautiful. Lol keep up the good work!0 -
Been a long while since I've lifted close to actual 1RM's... so i gave it a shot today to see where I was at. These are obviously not RPE 10's, so this is really good progress I guess. Best Squat wad 365 lbs. @ 200 lbs. BW, and best Sumo Dead was 505 lbs @ 200 lbs. BW.
These are unpeaked, randomly tested at the end of my Deload Week cause I was feeling pretty good.
I probably had another 10-15 lbs in me on each lift before RPE 10.
1x1x360 (PR) Low Bar Squats (55 lb Bar). 2xBW with 360 lbs. @ 180 lbs. BW.
1x1x485 (PR) Sumo Deads. 2.7xBW with 485 lbs. @ 180 lbs. BW. (I set up rounded on this one and it made it much less smooth than it should've been...)0 -

Those are impressive numbers bro! Both lifts looked smooth too.0 -
These pictures are from my last meet on Feb 6th at Pure Fitness just outside of Milwaukee. I wasn't able to capture any video.
Third attempt double body weight PR squat of 413lbs/187.5kg.
Second attempt bench press 264/120kg. Was conservative on bench attempts this meet.
Third attempt bench press PR of 297/135kg.
Third attempt deadlift PR of 512/232.5kg.
All in all I went 9/9 and got only one red light on my second BP attempt. I had a PRs not only on all my last attempts, but in faces made on the platform! It was a very good meet for me. I wrote about this meet on blog here.
I am ten weeks out from my next one.0 -
Success my friend success! Looking good!
Congrats!0 -
All in all a very successful nationals experience. Went 2/3, missing my third because I lost tightness waiting for the press commands. It happens. Didn't get any video myself, but finished 2nd in my weight class to the amazing Rhaea, who missed weight from her normal class. I executed my game plan, and brought it to the platform despite the utter insanity of the last month.

No mention of weight lifted? FOR SHAME0 -
Not my PR but first time I was able to rep this out in a while . Could've been a bit cleaner.
Since, I've corrected my posture and will be uploading more footage this week.
All positivity welcome0 -
Impressive numbers everyone; I am curious though on BW #'s against the lifts. I'm on a cut myself and am all kinds of jealous watching - but again nice work all.0

Nicely done @Iron_Miss_Canada ! And with everything you went through to get to Nationals.

Thanks! @nakedraygun - it definitely was a crazy peaking month. Who moves four days before competing?!?!?!?
They had the live video stream recorded. Grabbed the video of my second at 80kg. Sweet and easy.

That's awesome @Iron_Miss_Canada ! Great lift.
I'd say a certifiable person moves right before a meet. lol If only life always cooperated right?
A buddy of mine posted the video of that meet for me on another forum. He lifts at the gym the guy who put up 500lbs raw (227.5kg I think?) does.0 -
@ovidnine - yeah, Avi is a great bencher, and powerlifter in general. No doubt about it. Watching the heavies bench in person was awesome. Sad I'm coming home now and missing the rest of the lifting

Congrats on the platform @Iron_Miss_Canada and @nakedraygun
Wish I had something to add to the videos this week, but I'm feeling exceptionally weak! I'm still on my cut, haven't gotten the best sleep, ran 6 miles on Saturday, a very physical soccer game on Tuesday night...soooo, any one of those factors could do it, but all of them combined left me only able to do a bench of 200x5, squat 285x1 and OHP 135x2
Soccer is done for a couple weeks and I might take a little breather from the running and hopefully it was just a bit of overtraining. 0
