[Perrin Aybara]

Conventional deadlift 495x2, 545x2, 585x2, 615 miss (weird to miss 615lbs after 585x2 was RPE 7 at most. Gonna say it was from not doing conventional in awhile and going heavy on trap bar Saturday)

Strict press 135lbs for 3x10

Leg press 3 plates x15, 4 plates x15, 5 plates x15

Chest supported row 3x15

Hamstring curls 3x15

What's a weight releaser?

 

[theprodgicalson]

Conventional feel weird at all to you? Does for me quite a bit. Still finding a good groove with it. It's my second week doing it, and I've probably pulled conventional a total of 5 times in the last 2 years

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Never seen that, but looks super useful.

A little. I'd still been doing some conventional accessories here and there since I switched to sumo.

I just saw this today. It looks like it would be awesome for bench.

I could tell that was Mike T just from the look of his little basement gym... What a mess.

I knew I had seen those releasers before, but it was bugging me because I couldn't think of where I saw them until you posted Ben's video... Haven't seen a video of them recently.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

You could DIY a set very easily. Might make that a project soon.

Of course Rogue Fitness wants $165 for them.

I'm convinced that Rogue builds their equipment with compressed Martian sand... Or maybe they are just marking things up in obscene amounts.

@Eman lol yeah man. Did you ever seem the video of him in the basement where he almost shattered a window from squatting? It was a different basement than the one in that video. Weight just dumps off the bar and it goes flying.

@Brandaddy those are the same ones my old gym had. I never played around with them, but helped a couple guys who did.

I think they can be really useful for squat and bench. With squats o think they could really build confidence with big weight. Similar to chains. Same for bench along with stability

Rogue are a bunch of SOBs. They do have garage sales once and a while every Saturday where you can get their stuff for like 30-50% off. But you have to actually go to their production facility. I WILL say though, I used a pair of their HG collars a buddy had...best collars I've ever used. By a long shot. Ordered a pair for myself. I can't recommend them enough for heavy deads

Edit: also @Eman I didn't forget about you, I'll be send you over a bunch of stuff here I the next couple days. Life's been hectic

[Perrin Aybara]

Tried a different belt squat setup today with the calf raise machine. So far I like it better than the other way.
