Bench meet in the gym tomorrow moved most of us to Friday and shuffled the groups a bit.

Squat
Group 1: Vogelpohl, Pegg, Fleming
Suspended chain squats for these guys today.  Didn’t see exactly what they worked up to, Chuck took it somewhat easy today after a heavy couple of weeks, while Pegg went heavier after squeezing himself into a pair of Chuck’s briefs, and finishing with a few sets in his suit.  Mark got to squat with the big boys today and hung in there.

Group 2: Sengos, Johnston, Chewy, Schwab
Free squats with hanging purple bands for this group, as all are doing the July meet (push/pull for Chewy).  Johnston just took 1005 for a ride 5 days ago at the APF Seniors, and wisely shut it down early after getting some work in.  He’ll get back to the meet cycle next week.  Chewy went to a box today, working up to 805 for a double in briefs.  Sengos and Schwab put their suits on for the last 2-3 singles and finished 25-50 lbs heavier than their planned 3rd attempts, with Sengos finishing at 795 and Schwab finishing with 975.  Hot as balls in the gym in just clothes, full gear made it miserable and ran us out of gas.

The usual Friday crew was also in there, my brain shut down when I was done squatting, no idea who did what but they were free squatting in gear to openers for the July meet.

Deadlift
Chuck, Pegg, Chewy, and Fleming pulled from the floor today, but Chuck had them pause for a 2 count just below the knees, and then finish the pull.  It looked brutal on the back, and forced you to work through what is a normal sticking point by removing any momentum you get from the floor.  They worked up to around 600.

Everyone finished with some ab work and other accessory work and quickly sought water and cool air.

  1. But why would someone like them do that to us? Nice post, atleast you informed us

  2. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Kudos

  3. After research a couple of of the blog posts in your web site now, and I really like your approach of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website checklist and can be checking back soon. Pls try my website as effectively and let me know what you think.

  4. Oh well, thats Lidge for you! Hes muh closa

  5. Also, these rule changes could help by placing less importance on positions that require players that are really, really big (linemen), because finding a lot of 300 lb guys that are good at blocking, and aren’t in the NFL, is a lot harder than finding a lot of relatively fast, 180-200 lb guys that know how to catch that aren’t in the NFL.

  6. I have read through the comments and agree emphatically that the film was fantastic. I think the stated racial bias was more an attempt to call attention to racial bias in financial dealings than to stereo-type african-americans derogatorily, but I do understand how the presentation of Memphis and Detroit could be seen as a statement of racial bias. The thing that struck me so as so brilliant about the film is that it allowed the viewer to draw conclusions from the information rather than being told what it all meant. I for one, had not connected the dots from the Chinese beyond the US being a safe place to invest in bonds, treasuries and secured investments. Undeniably, the Chinese have created a highly leverageable situation to ensure US markets will remain open to Chinese imports and investment. This relationship just scares the bejeebers out of me because it leaves us very vulnerable to Chinese suggestion and ultimately may result in control of our economy (just as Islamic extremists went after our financial nerve center and attempt to impoverish the US via global conflict). I was left with the chilling thought of the Great Seal of the United States of America having a parenthetical statement (a subsidiary of the Peoples Republic of China). Perhaps I am overreacting, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems interesting that billions are being held back by banks, saying the risks are too big to loan the money now. I wonder how many banks are looking for ways to invest in Chinese development both as a function of return on investment and shareholder sentiment.
