I am still real sore, oh well ill recover.
Thursday - back to westside training. More or less exactly 'westside' but with a RE day instead of the DE day for the bench. Probally not much back squats for the next few weeks. One I can back squat with less pain, I am going to focus on them. The american 242 raw squat record is only like 600lbs, If I actually do some squats in my training for the next meet, I feel I get at least close to it.
Pics being uploaded right now i think.

Way to go Frank.
And you thought you were going to bomb your first meet.

I'm going to start making jokes about how your calves are so big I could hide behind one.
haha

It's working for you though. Damn things are like tree trunks.

hah, just bugging ya.
My training is going to be very basic here for a bit I think, not that there is anything wrong with that at all. Looking forward to it for sure. I am going to add a huge amount of weight to my squat.

Nothing wrong with basic.
Honestly dude, I can't wait to see where your numbers go in the months to come. There's no doubt in my mind that we're going to see some impressive things from you (again, lol).
Good luck bro.

I figure if I can fix my arm which I will get an appointment for, then I will actually be able to do some squats, keep in mind I have done like 3 heavy sets of back squats in the past 5-6 months 
The WR raw squat for 242 is only 630lbs (thats open too, not jr). The american record was broken this weekend at 610. Once I start squatting weekly again, I dont think these are really, all that distant lifts? Yeah, still 100lbs to go.. but the first 50 will be easy i think.
I dont know if I want to stay at 242 or goto 220. I'm not sure i'm all that much stronger at 242, yet.. But once I get used to the leverage I think ill be a fair amount stronger. I dont want to mess around with cutting weights and stuff for a while. |
