Bench Training and Calgary Stampeding
First main bench day since moving to Calgary The few training sessions after the move have proved to be harder than expected. Yesterday's bench session actually didn't feel awful, which was a big win in my books. I know that 185 is something I can bench even on my worst day, so I went […]

Main Deadlift: 5/26/2018
I took a 1.5" block pull as my last heavy deadlift day. I find the slight block forces me to focus more on tightness and positioning as I initiate, and translates very similarly weight wise pulling off the floor. 135x5 225x3 275x2 315x1 365x1 385x1 405x1 PR I think it is very safe to say […]

Main Deadlift - 5/19/2018 - More PRs
This was a fun day for me. Previously my best meet/gym deadlift was 370. This training cycle I have switched to a stop/reset style for deadlifts and have found that it's really been paying off. Wedging into the bar feels 'right' for the first time, and I feel much stronger off the floor because of […]
