is the mastodon bar the one that's bent, or is that the buffalo?

From Monday:

Made the 2 hour drive to EliteFTS to train with Jim, Rich T. Baggins, Gerard, and the crew at the Compound III. By the way, Ohio traffic sucks and I70 is an absolute shithole for those of you who might be interested in traveling its unscenic pathways. EliteFTS offices are smaller than I had pictured in my minds eye as well. Very nice building though for sure. Gym was huge, and (obviously?!?) the best equipped gym Ive ever been in or seen.

Training was the standard ME SQ/DL day.

Cambered Bar Box squat against Green Bands over the plates. Im not sur ewhat the band tension was, Rich told me but Ive completely forgotten. 170 maybe? I dunno. It was band tension. The hugemungous cambered bar weighed in at a beefy 85lbs, but was counted as 45 here.

135x5
225x5
315x1
365x1
405x1
500x1 added belt after
550x1 added briefs after
600x1
650x1
700x1
750xMISS-Came off of the box strong on this one, I just ended up too far forward and stalled out. You have to carry this bar rediculously high on your back. Partly (mostly) because there was NO KNURLING. This bar is an absolute beast, and brutally sodomizes the rackable one we have at our gym.

Conventional Deadlifts:
Up to 620 or 670x1. I cant remember what weight it was. Fairly fast though, I think. I had a strong attempt at 700 as well, but lost my grip and missed it. Oh well.

After training we went to Bob Evans and ate and bullshitted then drove home through a feckin HUGE storm.

Buffalo bar has a slight camber. The mastadon is the stiffest bar ever.

Up until this weekend I havent really done anything of note since my last post. Ive been in 10000000 different places in life and havent really accomplished anything the last week worth noting.

Saturday Training:

I made the Journey back over to the Compound III in London again, EliteFTS' showroom/gym. I had a new pair of ACE briefs to break in, and wanted to get some weight on my back. I knew that Jim, Rich, Jason Adams, and Matt K and a bunch of his buddies would be there getting after it as well. Kroc got lost coming in so we helped Jason A. and his friend bench. Jason had a gangster single ply shirt that had zero reps in it. He worked up to a STRONG 565 at 181. His best lift is 585@220. He is going to demolish some guys at the ProAm in August.

Kroc and his road dogs showed up a bit later and we proceded to start squatting. It was kind of crazy, because all of the dudes that came with him squat like he does. Very odd, but the resemblance is uncanny. They were some strong dudes all around as well.

Free Squats with the Mastadon:
135x5
225x5
350x1
440x1
530x1
620x1 (added 50 ACE briefs after this set)
710x1
800x1 (added 56 ACE Suit after this set, straps down)
900x1 very shaky and not too deep. A crappy rep, but a rep none the less. Was fast, but looked like shit during the descent. Sat down, not back, my knees came forward, and I cut it 2-3 inches high.
900x1 SOLID LIFT AND NEW PR! Everything on this was perfect, save for the fact that I cut it an inch high. Jim said he thought I would have been good for 950 with the straps down, but should hut it down, so I did.

Pin 2 Rack pulls against a quadded mini
135x2
225x2
315x1
405x1
495x1
545x1
585x1
635x1 A 635lb PR! LOL My first time doing them set up this way, so it was a huge PR for me! I think I quit about 2 sets before I hit a true max, but this was a good, solid lift that I was happy with.

I then got to watch Kroc, who had already worked up to 1015 and taken it for a ride twice squat 440x17. This was absolutely unbelievable to watch. Every rep was hams to calves. No wonder his quads are now pentas and my quads been downgraded to biceps. After training we went to Pizza Hut and saw some of Londons finest mullets.

Fridays Sq/DL workout

From Yesterday

DE SQ/DL

DE SQ with the Rackable Cambered Squat Bar with blues over the plates. All sets were done rizzzzzzaw

bar x 100000000
135x5
225x5
275x3 (added blues after)
315x3x2
365x3x2
405x1x2
455x1x1 The band tension was rediculous, and this, for me, was a HUGE raw squat. I also found that the faster you move with this bar, the more it says. Obvious, yes, but gives me a goal for how fast the sets need to feel to be correct.

Reverse Hypers
225x4x10

Pulldown Abs
4 sets of 10

Side Bends
3x10

Jason

Monday ME SQ/DL

Bad day...felt bad all day, but wanted to get some work in...

Deadlift from floor
135x3
225x3
315x3
405x1
495x1 added belt after
545x1
585x1
635x1 aded KING Pro Deadlifter after
675x4x1 These were actually fairly fast. They were mainly to figure out how I need ot have the suit for me and how to get down to the bar. This suit is a bad mother too...made my legs bleed! If I can get my grip straightened out, I think low to mid 700 should be definitely doable.

Stretch

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #147 on:** July 01, 2008, 09:27:20 PM »

675 for 4 after putting on a suit and wonder if you can pull 700? I'd go 585, 675, then pull 725 for a go if those were MY numbers and I'd damn sure get it! I though I'd catch your ass pulling..but it's looking like you're blowing past me HAHA SICK SHIT MAN!

It wasnt a set of 4...4 singles.

They were also of varying levels of impressiveness.

Here is a video of my 900. It is the first clip in the movie. Lots of impressive lifting in May at EFS!
