Does the most powerful man count as a comp or do you have to do a fancy pants Oly meet?
Or both?

Also, in the name of swole, Could you not throw an odd sneaky max effort bench when Nobody is looking?

I'm sick of benching, i havn't trained it since before christmas, i reckon i'll always be able to do 140 regardless. I'll keep benhing the odd time probably.

My tricep strength is gone to crap so close grip a bit.

If i'm going to mediocre at something i might aswell be mediocre at something fun.

Plus, squatting more than twice a week is illegal in powerlifting land.

There's some sort of misconception around here that i was following C&P.

I wasn't, i had an idea of %s and rep ranges and then i went by how i felt on the day (which, especially with high frequency idiocy is much smarter than saying i have to hit this becasue some template told me to, or conversely not going for it on a set when you feel great because the piece of paper in your hand tells you not to). And i also ocassionally lose the plot.

It could be the thread title, or it could be the fact that the C&P guy advocates basically what you have just described more often than he advocates his "programme"

Or it could just be I am the only guy who mentions C&P and you listen to me because you loooooove me.

He doesn't he advocates destroying himself as much as possible regardless of how he feels with no real thought to his exercise selection.

Course he is a tool.
That's like a prerequisite for being listened to in internet strength land.
Wendler: Tool
Rippetoe: Tool
De Franco: Tool
etc.

Funnily enough, I found out about him from your recommendation.....:D

Today

Much guff with the bar

Snatch
40kg x many doubles
50kg x many doubles
60kg x many doubles and singles
65kg x some singles

Powerclean
40kg x many doubles
60kg x many doubles
70kg x a few

Was suggested i should just get under the bar and stop fapping about
One First Pull One Clean and Power Jerk
70kg x many
70kg x many doubles
80kg x some doubles
85kg x a few
90kg x 2
95kg x all went horribly wrong, huge amount of pull caught it very high
95kg x 1 nice
100kg x basically didn't do anything i'd been doing right, right (worst sentence ever)

So i suppose that can be my technical max. it was piss though.

Cleans are mad, i've never caught anything below a 9/10th squat before.
It's mental how easy they are even just doing a couple of things kind of right. Pretty weird though, it's kind of like doo dee doo nice controlled squeeze off the ground up past the knees and all of a sudden you're in a front squat. Mental.

Went for some lunch, coffee, some attempt at course work, Then

Some more guff with the bar

Front Squats
bar 2 x 5
40kg x 5
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
90kg x 1
100kg x a total of 50 reps, then i got given out to like a bold child for about 10 minutes so i stopped.

First Pull
**** all weight x some

Abz
3 sets

Gunz
3 sets

What bearing does being knowledgeable on a subject have on somebody being perceived as a tool?

No I think people who behave like tools are tools.

Funny how often that logic stands up.....

They act like tools?? In what way? Or u just don't agree with their logic, disregard it and bash it like a lot of people??

Sure you could be the absolute tool for all I know?

This morning

Snatch

Clean

Ugh.

I cant even type.

itsallaboutheL

Earlier was basically Snatch doubles, 3 x 2s at some different weights

Cleaned 80 for many many singles. Some of which apparently looked okay. My quads were having none of it.

I think my knees are made out of sand.

It was much too early and i was fairly sore from those stupid front squats yesterday.
