Stuff I love

A lot of people say they want to accomplish their goals but when it's time to step up they find a few "good" reasons to procrastinate. In the end if you truly want to do something it becomes non negotiable. In the real world excuses won't get you results.

I found some gems going through old training vids so I thought I’d share.  Basically, they’re deadlift comparisons. 

The lifts are:  405x1 (last May) vs 435x1 (2 weeks ago) 495xmiss (Same day, last May) 505 (~92%)x1 for a single (after 465x3) I see SO many differences in my: Stance, Set up, Precision, Positioning, Bar path..ect. 

I also want people to note that in my older clips I’m in a Sumo stance, but basically pulling conventional in position. I also used to attempt to pull the slack out of the bar but now I actually do it. 

The big thing I stress now with others is taking your time to set up and being precise and I’d like to think I practice what I now preach. 

Idk, I like progress and I think it’s cool and now that my back is back to being able to train my deadlift more, I’m excited to see where I can get to with surge-to-new-levels help so far I feel all I really need to do is dial in some things now and just keep practicing and ingraining technique and addressing issues in a smart way.

Deficit Pulling this morning. Worked up to a top set of 5 reps at an rpe of 8.5(might of actually been a 9.5).

Harlem Shake to 600.

So after years of training off and on due to injuries and what not I finally pulled 600. For some reason I was more confident than usual, and it felt like I find some strength I had been missing. I pulled this with my knee not being 100%, hurt it training Bjj Saturday, and I was really only suppose to bench this day.
