Lexen Xtreme Training Tips

So after a fun meet in Cleveland on Dec 3rd, the night crew is back to heavy training.

Group: Burke, Frankenstein, & Pat — Jimmy Overkill is home (Chicago) for Christmas break. We’ll know it if he’s not busting his tail @ the OverKill Power Pit when he gets back to Columbus. Let this be your warning!!

Special guest appearance by the Lexen Boss & the Woods.

Today we took a moderate flat bench (raw… notice this is not capitalized) w/ straight weight. Once the weight got up to around 85-90% we started adding boards.

Frankenstein worked up to 335 for a single, worked up boards and finished with around 365-385 off of a 4 board

Pat & Burke worked up to 365 to the chest, 385 off of 2 boards, 405 for a double off of 3 boards, 455 for a double off of 4, and Pat misses 495 off of 5 while Burke makes the lift. Long live the eating champion Burke.

The woods did some shirt work as they haven’t had them on since the summer.

The Lexen Boss used the gigantic fat bar and pressed from suspended chains. He set the chains about 3-4″ from his chest as this is a sticking point for Danny.

The group’s accessory work consisted of flat/incline dumbbell pressing, lateral raises, flyes (because we’re all closet bodybuilders), and a light tricep movement.

I’d like to take a second to thank everyone that came out to help Jimmy Overkill, Frankenstein, & myself at the UPA Meet on December 3rd. — Danny, Messmer, Jared, Jake, Bandy, Foulk, Tricia, and Ry. We had a blast and hit some respectable numbers.
