***Had a special appearance by our own Brute Fury, who (may or may not) have hit a BE PR, having not benched in 4 years !?! I will be checking the record books on that one. The gym was all a-buzz I can tell you; I have been for 3 months now.
315lbs; set 3 of 6.
315, set #6.

Felt like a better starting position, watching again, not so sure 
As always, a work in progress. This was at about 80%; next week is…??
Strong work as usual.
Easy money on those deads. Nice work!
Thanks to you both; everyone is strong at 80%…
Just registered for The Gorilla Warfare Open, 4/30/17. So I’m 17 weeks out today!! Great name (of course). I’ll be the very white, 180+lbs, shaved howler monkey dressed in red and black.

Time to get to work.

Another one? Wow! You are really on a roll!
Rolling I am Chick:) I’ve got 4 solid months, a few new tools in the toolbox, new DL set up and a slightly wider SQ stance…should be fun!
I have no doubt

Leg Press: 2x15@480/ 3x15@570/ drop set 15@ 570,480 + 20 top1/2 reps at 480. Deep quad stretch after each set.
Seated Ham curls: 8@ 120,150,165/ 4x8@180. Tried for a drop set to finish; not so fast! I’d drop a plate and get 2-3…drop another for 2-3. Finally dropped to 120 and got 8 full reps to finish. Ugly, but effective. Good hams stretch after each set.
OHP: 2x5@95/ 3x5@135. Sets 4 &5 had 3 clean reps, then 2 with a little ‘pushpress’ in there Held every last rep at lockout for a 5 count.
Plenty of pullaparts between pressing sets. Ate a ton of carbs/cals for first 3 hours after training. Feeling pretty good
Off work the next 3 days==no snow shoveling!!
