Z Press 205 today for a single.
not too bad. I don't think I ever got 225 on those so that would be pretty sweet to get. Since it's one of 3 ME exercises though, I won't get back to it for a couple weeks. Hopefully everything else helps it along though.

..........BI - you look to be on track for a good year end! Keep it up!

Thanks. I'm happy with how things are going so far. Just one more week 3 before the year ends. I also found a place with a monolift so I'll be going up there on my leg days. Than I'll really get to push my squats like I've wanted to.

A gym about 40 minutes from me just got one last week. So close and I still don't think I will ever make it up there Bummer. I would love to do some work in the mono and then hit the GHR (which they also have).

Hit a bodyweight PR last night on bench press: 245x3x3 (paused) @209.

Felt like girly-weight—but I just reminded myself when my show is over it's on again with the heavy iron!

Why won't you ever make it there? I think your squat would skyrocket if you used one consistently.

The gym that has one that'll I'll end up using is 47miles away from me each way (1.5hrs each way b/c of traffic) and I'm going to suck it up, drive up there, and pay the daily fee 3x month.

My schedule just won't allow it. I actually went out there yesterday (very rare occasion) and used the GHR. awesome. No need for the mono yesterday though.
In my scenario the best use for a monolift would be to do heavy band work where the weight at the top (with normal or reverse bands) is 10% or more over my actual 1rm. That way I could "get used to the weight" and not have to walk out awkward bands with a lot of weight.
All my meets however, require me to walk it out anyway so the majority of my squats should be from normal racks.

Good lifting in here guys, I enjoy flicking through this thread.

If you're meets require you to walk it out than I can see why you'd want to spend all your time in the rack. A mono would allow you to lift more but it's always best to train with the type of equipment you compete with.

I think I'll be driving 2 or 3 Fridays a month to use a mono. I'm not sure I need to drive so far on my easy day and I def don't need to on my deload day.

I've never came across any gyms yet that have a mono.

Just getting back into my training again.

Last night did an easy 200 x 3 bench then paused dumbbell chest presses, 80 x 8.

Here is the first one: Snatch Grip Deads off 4" blocks

JV: 275 x 20
High School All Star: 315 x 15
College Walk On: 365 x 15
Full On Stud: 405 x 15
Certifiable Panty Dropping Pimp: 515 x 15



In retrospect I should have went 365 and I may do it again this week. haha

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

315 x 15 was one of the toughest goddamm DL sets I ever attempted!

[Diabetic Muscle]

The snatch grip makes it even worse trust me. haha
