This week's Red bend was another first: in a complete, multi-day outage. They were projecting tonight, but it is now looking like it will be tomorrow night, which would make four days without power or heat, with a one- and three-year-old. It wouldn't be that bad, but with the little ones, it has been a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very happy to have some lighting for my bench reps today, and the heat is brining my gym back into the 50s. Learned a lot from the past few days. We are likely going to invest in a generator of some type too. (We ended up losing all of our food.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's squats were in the dark with a flashlight shining toward the power rack. That's what's I'm talking about. I do my squats in the dark, it's the only way for true gainz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Wed (11/21) Braced 5/8 x 30" (152k) 5/8 x 39" (187k) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS_u2Z0Pnv8 The two bends today were for David Horne's Steel Shredder 4 comp. I bought a rated bar from him several months back, which was brutal ... a ton harder than the typical HRS available to us in the U.S. (David later said it was not HRS, which I wasn't aware of prior.) The bar I tried back then @ 30" and failed to bend within the time limit was comparable to 24" HRS at the same diameter - probably even harder. So, I really had no idea of what to expect with these new batches. The first attempt was way too easy. Bent very quickly and I realized that I miscalculated. I waited about 10 minutes and tried the 187k bar, which was considerably harder, but still not as difficult as I was preparing for. I was happy to bend this bar relatively easy, but irritated with myself I didn't cut it a few inches to get a higher rated attempt/bend in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had them tightened twice too. On-and-off in about 2 seconds. So, today, I tried to get into a pair I bought a few years back, which I had been saving for heavy, heavy singles. This was when I was in the low 190s; now, I'm about 199-201. They were pretty tight ... more tight, than can be useful, or at least with the amount of time I had to lift today. I haven't tried these on in about 2 years either, so it was an eye-opener. Not sure what I'm going to do ... either getting one size up or trying to stick with the smaller ones. Since I've been working briefs back into my squats (after a long time raw-only), my hips and knees have been feeling better, so I will likely continue to deploy them, regardless if I do a single-ply or raw meet.

I knew during warmups, when I felt a tweak in my lower-back that today's session could be iffy. Nonetheless, I attempted to push through it and seemed to have aggravated my lower back area. I was forced to take a lower weight on my top rep but probably should have cut the session short when I started to feel the twinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one 187 bar that I will probably try in a week-or-two. Might cut it down a few inches from my last attempt. I also have one of the 152 bars, but doubt I'd be able to get in the 20-22" range to be competitive. I've done very little training with the shorter stock and it remains awkward for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
