thanks boys....i'm going to love this rack :) perfect height for rack pulls...and i can use the front for floor press.

How high are the plates from you floor when you're doing rack pulls?

not sure, but the bar is about 2-3" below kneecap. and then if i wanna do lockouts....i can put the bar on the safety catches.

deload wednesday

flat bench - 180 x 1

uni rows- 40, 2 x 7

double leg lowering - 1 x 12

and some bodyblade shit.

That a bench PR Pitski?

Short n sweet workout

my best bench is 215.....so a little ways to go....i could have gotten another ten pounds probably but that would have had me at too many reps over 90% for a deload :)

i arched too much too...upset the old bulging disc injury...it's feeling a lot better now tho....lesson learned.

deload friday

anderson front squats: 155 x 1...120 x 5

pistols: 1 x 9

bw pullups: 1 x 15



andersons fucking killed me. i saw stars. bought some straps for them...i like it that way. they are brutal on the core....which is exactly what i need for the next month. so they are in. as is military press...and i think sumo's. time to lay down.

I used the straps too. Definitely works very well. My wrists are bad but I have been able to train up to a clean grip proper with three (or is it two) fingers on the bar. But I started with straps. I absolutely abhor the cossack "cross grip" thing.

yeah....cross grip went out the window...it was a pain in the ass....and all the manta ray did was sit on my collar bone most of the time.

9/19

box jumps: 24", 2 x 10

pushups: +35, 2 x 17 (pr) :)
