Hi guys

I am basically a guy interested in the powerlifts, I am nursing a BIIAAATCH of a glute strain right now so my lower days are in the suit, I hope to get a good mix of raw and geared work going once the injury heals.

Goals Squat 400 raw
Bench 300 raw
Deadlift 500 raw

I'll set geared goasl eventually too.

Here is last weeks training

ME Bench Day

Stayed away from true ME work today, just using a little volume to see how I respond. I definitely put up some good quality reps which can only help in this workout. I am also working my setup a lot so extra sets help. I used 90kg on the bar and di 7 very solid triples, next week will be doubles.I then repped out WG with 55kg and finished with a shitload of paused chins., chest flys with bands and rear delts. Swole up a treat from the RE work!!!!

Good day, felt good to get a solid bench workout in.

DE Squat Day

Squatted vs a blue and orange band today again and lowered my box height about an inch.Tough workout considering I had made a pig of myself at lunch with a co-worker about an hour before lifting!! I was tasting that Gyro again after every set and nearly lost my lunch! I def have better workouts on no food. Anywyas my glute was sore as **** which is weird cos I didnt flare it up deadlifting it just started hurting out of nowhere on Thursday. Tried to do heavy zercher work, got up to about 245 and my bent ****ed up bar rolloed out of my hands and I got the most pulsating headache so I shut it down.

DE Squat Day 30/7/10

Box Squat + Blue and Orange Band In Suit
1x2 90kg
2x2 100kg

So my glute is pissing me off, it flares up at weird times, being in the suit is helping to not make it worse but I am worried about my raw strength also.If I cant do a heavy ass GM soon I might hurt somebody.

DE Bench Day

Started off with speed work against 2 yellow bands, stuck with 1 plate and REALLY worked my setup. I am trying to use some of EXs good advice to others and get my ass just grazing the bench and really work up onto my upperback and traps. Traps hve been sore last 3 workouts so I guess its better! Did some CG 4 boards next, these are a high board but really hit the tris hard, moved to seated MPs next and then more tris and bis.
