The 255 felt really solid on the axle, so I tried 275 (which is my all-time PR) and ended up getting it knee-high. I might have been able to get this if I had done axle first. I broke ground with the 62.5 on the Pinchblock. This was after getting a slight hover in the last session. With the way things have been going with the PB, I think 65 will happen soon, and 70 is the goal by the end of the year. I'll start to get some video the closer I get to 70lbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rep was a grinder, but I'll take it! Bodyweight was 193.8 last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccos1 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I had a really long day today and was going to attempt my deadlifting session tomorrow, but ended up having a few coffees and went for it. I got a new video camera and started taking some vids. This was 525 and 30-40lbs. off my all-time PR, but the heaviest I've gone in months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that doesn't know what that is, it's like a really tight singlet. Technically a squat suit, but made of very thin material, that can actually be rolled up in a ball. In the past, I was able to get about 15-20lbs. out of a z-suit, so I was happy today to get two solid reps with 405. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I used to wear a Super Centurion in competition, but have gotten away from suits these past few years. Nowadays, I usually go in single-ply briefs for my top few sets. Wearing briefs keeps my hips OK week-to-week and still lets me go relatively heavy. And, my raw squat is still going up in briefs; when I was in a suit years back, it ended up hurting my raw squat numbers. Are you lifting in a suit now?

JHenze646 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have a cheap suit that I throw on maybe once every two months for fun, not that there is anything fun about getting into a suit by yourself. I have heard about a lot of guys using briefs for the purpose you mentioned. I might have to consider that further up the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Here is my top set on raw bench the other day (330 x 1). I need to keep plugging away at this and try to get back to 350, and then push-on from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting it to be tough, and was a little apprehensive going for it alone in my gym. But, I set-up and hit it, and was suprised it felt stronger than last weeks top set and almost flew up (probably my imagination, but it was easier than 330 last week). This was the heaviest raw bench I've ever done without a lift off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
