The road to 1500..

[Melly Mel from hell]

Is this Meso's first forum hookup success story? I want the pants half the time though....

Technically it's not a success story because you guys are still negotiating. I suggest moving in together first and see how it goes.
Also...Whoever can deadlift the most gets the pants that week. Just a suggestion.

Good mornings 235 6RPE till 9RPE
15SETS 2REPS (need to bump the weight up on this range)

Double Paused Bench
Worked up to 295 for one set but wasn't the RPE I was supposed to do
285 8RPE till 9RPE
4SETS 5REPS

Was supposed to to paused at knee deadlifts. So since I can't DL right now I did paused half ROM leg curls instead.

Bench felt Hella strong and explosive. Especially for 2 second pauses. Asked a guy to spot me on my last set and he almost grabbed the weight off me my first set. Guess I should have told him what I was doing

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Double paused bench or two count paused bench?

Good mornings are monstrous, as always. I'm going to do some tonight and see where I am.

 

[theprodgicalson]

I thought they were one and the same. I'll have to ask my coach. But after seeing some youtube videos they are not the same.

 

[theprodgicalson]

Yeah, my coach said pause on chest and then pause halfway up and lockout

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, I'd never heard of double paused bench press, but if it's like double paused deadlifts I'd assume a pause at the bottom and a pause at your sticking point.

Edit: that's what I thought it must be. Two count would just be a single pause for the count of two.

was surprised how the paused squats went. felt really good. i recently switched back to wearing chucks instead of romaloes and widened my stance a bit. Seems to be helping a ton. bench was still just mehh. its not where i wouldve liked to have been.

5 Count paused Squat

Sounds like torture. Good session though, looking strong.

Good looking session there. Your back injury all good on the sumo block pulls?

Rib injury and yeah it felt great. i just decided during my session to try them out as im close to the 6 week mark anyways. next week would have been 6 weeks exactly. got to work this morning and saw my coach had emailed me and asked how the ribs were doing since it almost been 6 weeks. needless to say ill be deadlifting this afternoon!!

Nice, I remember I wasn't familiar with the term you used when it happened, I just assumed it was a back injury. Good luck on your deadlift session this afternoon, hopefully it's pain-free and you can get back on track.

Intercostal I believe it was

I think that was it, I hadn't heard that term before.

Doc is right, intercostal. its a muscle that runs in between your ribs

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Doc is right, intercostal. its a muscle that runs in between your ribs

I get it now. If it runs all the way to the bottom of the ribs near the bottom of the lats/top of the obliques I've aggrevated my own doing rack pulls a long time ago.

Wasn't where I would have hope. But I figured this was gonna be where I was at doing 480 instead of 500. I'll be back up to it next time the 5's roll around. Just glad to be deadlifting again pain free!

All of my paused at the knees were done beltless. Which I felt beast mode on. Wanted to train shirtless I was feeling myself that hard. Hahaha

Bench felt good. got a little out of the groove on the 3rd rep but i recovered well. paused squats also felt great after warming up. glad i switched over to my chucks from romaleos. seems to have helped a ton.
