burkhardmacht Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice!Will you increase again the weight in your next workout? Not sure - my back hurts a lot today! If it's ok until Monday I'll increase, if not I won't do chins and other light back training (or light sumo DLs) and come back to the Dls in two weeks. But then I'll increase the weight for sure. If I don't get the 10 singles I'll do the remaining reps with 160kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thats a good one, but Kostanov's video is my favorite - the guy just seems like a cool dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me me You mean this dude here: One interesting thing is that he lifted with a round back and the belt was very high around his torso!! Unbeliebable... :blink Franky, I always think You'll hurt Your back when watching You deadlift heavy stuff - but it seems to me that some guys can stand this style - perhaps You are one of those freaky dudes!! In the meantime I read that lifting with a round back has the advantage that the upper body is shorter - so the leverage is better!

FrankyBoy Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 DU bending Warmup with a 3kg sledge. 2x6mm nail 2xhard 60D 0 x 6" Red, OUCH 9mm kink 0x300kg CB, no fuel left (~25° ?) Wow, the 6" Red is still a LONG way to go for me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think Kostanov's and some others are deceptive on the way they round their back. Some of these guys are very good at keeping their lower back flat while rounding the upper back to the extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 PS. The 9mm kink with the 6" Red was of course a PR, best sofar was 5mm.

Even kinking it is big stuff. Looking forward to the cut Reds! My wrist is feeling better...did a Huge Hex a few days ago DO under a minute and it held up okay. Course I don't use much wrist in my bending but it's still involved isometrically, so DO is a good way to test a tweaked wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the race is no fun. I still think you'll fly ahead of me in a VERY short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Pinch 5x32.5kg 5x52.5kg 1x62.5kg 1x82.5kg 0x95kg (~2" missing to the bar) 95kg 2x80kg + low rep sets with 52.5kg in gloves: 2,4,4 Hands were not in a good condition today. Wrists and thumbs did hurt and both pinkies got numb after the 62.5kg warmup lift. which indicates an ulnaris compression. Not unusual for my lefty but very rare righty. I guess the intensity of my training is to high currently. 2-hand plate wrist curls 10x10kg 7x15kg Stopped the session here. I won't to any grip til monday to get my hands back ...

bencrush Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 10-4-07 Gutted my way through some DU bending today. Wrist hurts and takes away some of the force I can exert, but I'm giving it all I can. DU BENDING -Easy 60D Nail -Hard 60D Nail -6" Grade 8-U *Notes: Only a 10 degree kink. These are mega hard G8s. Thanks to Dan Sweeney for these! To test my "theory" that they're very hard, I wrapped up the last "LE" brand G8 that Bob Lipinski gave me at the MGC. The LEs are super hard. -6" Grade 8-LE Notes: 61 degrees in 7 seconds. I am not crazy. The U-G8s are monsters plain and simple. The next bend proves that even more than this one. -1/4"X7" FBBC Square Notes: 68 degrees in 9 seconds. Really hurt on this one. I'll rest it again. Getting pissed having to work around it so much. Although I'm still able to pull 1" and 2" vbar at decent poundages still, so I don't understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Wow, being injured and melting a square that hurts (ME!!). Wheres the pain located? Side of palm ring finger side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks Franky! The pain is mostly in my extensors actually. I think I've got the same "stinger" that John Eaton had for a while. It's really more of a nagging mini injury that takes a bit away from everything. But it's still possible to work around it for now and I plan on continuing that.

FrankyBoy Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 10/06/2007 Gym Bench Had a good day. 5x110kg 5x110kg 12x90kg 4x110kg 24x65kg 9x90kg 18x65kg 2x110kg That was good enough to go up with the weight of the 5RM sets (112.5kg then). + 3x7x60kg (1 set, first 7 low reps, 2nd 7 high reps, 3rd 7 full reps). + incline bench + butterfly + tricpes work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Wow - I had a super off day.... Grip was awfull and DL too: 2x105kg (felt terrible heavy) 6x1x140kg (tested different styles, incl. sumo - I made 1 rep with a middle wide food stand, failed on a rep with very wide foot stand and finally lifted 1 rep like Vince Anello - strange thing to do...) I think the reason why I had such a bad day is that I have a beginning cold. But doing lifts under these conditions in different styles just for fun with a weight which was my max weight in January is not the worst thing!

bencrush Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 10-9-07 Got the package of 6" Reds, thanks Franky! DU BENDING -5.5" Easy 60D Nail -6" Grade 5 -6" Red *Notes: Only got it to 10 degrees and fought for that little bit. Wrist was not cooperating and strangely my fingers hurt a lot-maybe from a bunch of pullups I did the night before. -5" Grade 5 Later did some reverse bending so this morning my forearm is hurting a lot. Tylenol. Thanks again Franky! It's a great goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
