Pseudonym Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 So true. My worst back injury to date was caused by sitting in a car. I mean really - WTF?! How does that? I don't even... Georg and Wookie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's always the light lifts that mess you up. I've put my back out 4 times deadlifting: 180, 210, 180, and the only one that was understandable was 330 from 15inches which is the absolute worst height to pull from (most rack pulls are 18-19"). Another freak accident was a 100kg powerclean leading to torn cartilage in my sternum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sat 26/3 Did a bunch of Mas wrestling, and the intercostal handled it ok. Was a 112kg guy with a 310 deadlift so was nice to have a challenge. Did 3 powerclean and jerks with 140 after. Need to get back into these. Then furniture moved another house, and then later a piano. Lol. Next time I should just do NZSM on Easter weekend. Realtalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yes, butt comes off bench, I am aware. With a full comp set-up it's harder for me to do that. Bench design doesn't help much in that regard either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Tues 5/4 MG Bench with a top set at 157.5x 4. Was after 157.5x5 - but that 4th rep was at the 9.5 RPE scale... probably a 60% chance I missed the 5th. All time bench PB for 5's is 155x5, granted that was close grip and had 4x5 at 150 after. 180 should be close this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Not sure. I feel confident in a 330ish squat right now, maybe close to 300 dead and a 180 bench. Bench is getting close, but I never did raw bench as a PL movement. My 350 squat wasn't completely maximal as was training for a SM show. And never truly maxed deads, but guess it would have been 330-335 raw on a normal bar. Keep this up should be there by July, though I don't think I'll be as 'strong' per se across things like front squat, overheads, strongman stuff and endurance/cardio. Also trying to keep bodyweight about 10kg lower than my highest of 152. Realtalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Dat Natty life. Kinda demoralising with all the 400kg deadlifts floating round in strongman these days. When I was pulling my heaviest a 360kg dead was roughly the equivalent of a 400 today. So I wasn't crazy far off even though it wasn't a strong event.

soundsgood Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 What is the biggest weight you've pulled on a barbell from Powerlifting height Wookie What are the other pulls you've done? Assume you've pulled some monster weights from partial height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 320x 2.9 lol I'm kind of gutted I never tried 330. Oh well. I think it was 365 from mid-shin and 380x3 and 390x1 from 18". I never pulled maximally from 18" while strong, definitely would have been 420+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
