Mike Rinderle Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Raw bench and Maddog Sling Shot work today. Been putting in extra tricep work and it is starting to pay off. Also working on bringing my elbows in a bit more and even wrapped higher with the wrist wraps. Worked up to barely missing lockout with 275 Raw. Then hit 300 X 1 and 245 X 10.9 with the slingshot. The 11th rep was very similar to my raw miss at 275. Just couldn't quite lock out the right side. All moving in the right direction though. That's a 10lb PR with the Sling Shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8IBAJ5rmcQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendofjd3 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That's awesome. Although the gains are coming quick for you, remember there is still a learning curve on the Slingshot. Looking forward to seeing you hit that 315 really soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks! Right now I'm getting about 25 lbs out of it. Its really helping me overload my triceps and has let me do dips without shoulder pain for the first time in years. That alone is worth the price.

Mike Rinderle Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Squat Updates: 375 belt and sleeves. 405 belt and wraps. I really want to nail 375 on my second attempt and give 400 a run at my meet on the 31st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Last heavy pulling before my comp on the 31st. I smoked 510, which tied my all time PR. Weighed 242.0 exactly. The last time I pulled 510 I weighed between 255 and 260. Definitely had more in the tank, but I wanted to make sure I hit this for confidence. Afterward, I added in the Elitefts average short pro bands and pulled up to 345 + 165 in bands. Just missed 365 + 165. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo7CinQUIw8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
