That just felt awesome. Didn’t really take any breaks. Back and hams got totally fried. I didn’t feel like touching the bar today. Needed a little break.

Starting to feel stronger. My triceps are thrashed after this morning. I got a huge PUMP too in them after those tricep extensions. Should have done some curls to go with that pump.

Straps down and it was just like wearing the briefs. Nice fast pop off the box. Straps up and HOLY SH*T I feel like I’m being crushed. Not by the weight but by the suit. I really had to focus on keeping my back tight and arched. The straps wanted to pull my shoulders down and round me out. It was also very different trying to find a resting spot for the bar to nest into with the straps up. I need bigger traps. I about fell forward coming up with the 405. I was like a tightly wound spring, I even made a really weird funny squeaking noise trying to get to the box as I felt the pressure of the suit.

I’ll be using the briefs only for a while and as I get closer to the meet I’ll throw on the suit here and there just to make sure I can get down into the hole. I just wanted to make sure the suit fit and didn’t need to send it off to Ken to any alterations. It fit great. Took almost 20m to get into and the straps were really hard to get up and were crushing on the way down. Nice welts and bruises again.

Felt great going into today. Refreshed and ready to go when I got up this morning. I wanted that 365 today. I got it down to a 1 board with some patience and lots of tucking. Will take it down to touch all the way next week.

First and most important, I figured out how to add music to my videos!! Or really finally took the time to click on a few things and viola there’s music. I think the briefs are a perfect fit and size. I got a size 44 which is supposed to be the meet fit for a person around 210-220 I guess. I figure as they stretch out a little I’ll be filling them in even more as I gain more weight which should be perfect. They are tight around the hips and SUPER tight around the legs. I got many nice welts and bruises up and down my upper legs and hips.

I found it a lot more difficult to get down as it feels like they want to just fold me in half. Really felt a lot of pressure just bellow my belt though where the briefs were creasing in which is what was making me feel like I was being folded in half. I really have to focus on sitting back hard as I can feel them throwing me forward. The wide stance cut was great and if I try and stand with my feet narrow and squat down they force my legs out. I found myself cinching down the belt as tight as I could for both the squats and deadlift to keep the briefs up and not pinch in the crease as much as possible. If this is normal and I’m using the same hole all the time I might try out a lever belt for once.

As for the speed work… WOW. On the Squats the 415 felt super light and I came up really fast. At least I think so compared to before. Can’t wait to try these out going max effort. The pulls were really difficult. First set I tried to just explode up and I felt my form go down the toilet. So, the following sets I just concentrated on form more. It was hard getting down and most of the time as I was pulling myself down the weights were already starting to come up. I guess I just needed to add more weight. I didn’t know how long it would take to get the briefs off so I left the bags in that I used to help get them on. They actually came of really easy. I’ll pull out the plastic next time.

Felt great today. Got some free products from PAL to try out and review. One of them, Leviathan, has loads of caffeine in it and damn it really kick started me off this morning. My triceps are completely blasted after the speed work, lockouts, and then the JM Press. I was gassed by the end. No tingling from the Beta Alanine in the Incarnate but didn’t really expect any. I haven’t really ever gotten the tingles from it except on a few occasions. Usually when I take it on my off days. Then hopefully the Anabolic Edge will help recover my triceps for Sunday. Going to be hitting it hard in the shirt again.

Migraine today. About passed out after a few of these. Form sucks, especially conventional pulls. Goal going into today was to get 400+ in my hands.

Good day. Had some great help with the shirt. Just have to get used to it and get in a grove. Second set at 365 was almost there. Need to work lockouts a lot. Last set at 315 felt really light. Tough to get down after getting it pulled down pretty hard. Really got it tight across the shoulders and chest. It’s really hard to get an arch in and will have to work on that a lot later on.

Really like the new band setup. Pretty happy with the form too. Next week I’ll have to hit up some heavy pulls and see how bad it breaks down.

Kind of took it easy today. Getting my form back together on the pulls. Still need more flexibility. Have to wait to look at the vids to see how well I did. Can’t wait till Sunday and get some time in the shirt.
