:nod: Coreys technique is great to watch ... I'm always picking things up.

[steak]

One thing John should pick up is that when the smoking hot blonde chick comes inside and says

"oooh John...can you help me lift a 20 plate off the sled outside"

Dont go outside take the plate off, rack it and carry on stretching.

you missed your chance son :roll: ..she'll be asking Corey tomorrow :grin:

[poos_n_wees]

Haha the man is focused! Solid training as usual BJ :nod:

Noob question :oops: .. With the 2 board benching.. How big are the boards? Are they certain measurements? And why 2, and not 1 or 3..?

2 board is roughly 4 inches, reason why we chose that is because that seems to be my sticking point of the bench

heres some info about board work

Deads: abit tough this weak, setup wasnt all that flash tbh (seemed to loading the left hip abit more than usual) and the pulls off the deck were slow. Took a step back and reassesed. seems i favor a quicker tuck of the hips as oppossed to a deep swoop in then trying to push through the floor approach

Bench: showed abit of promise today i guess. max gripping everything to cut the ROM down, and bringin the chest up and controling my breathing thru the reps, and getting the tuck, i got 8 weeks to get this down pat
