Almost hit 1/2 ton today

Gappa238 · 07-26-2007, 06:28 PM

Went to max the big 3 today and had some hella good results which look like this:

Squat - 335x1 {+80lb}
Bench - 275x1 {+15lbs}
DL - 335x1 {-46lbs}

Total = 945lbs

Kinda bummed about the DL because that is usually my strongest lift, but I guess the squats really took there toll on my legs. I attempted 365 two times but could only get it to my shins. Plus this was the first time I have ever done all 3 in the same day. But I was hella pumped about the squat. The weight seemed so light, I was thinking about going up another 10lbs but I decided to end on a high note.

Those are some sweet PR's! Dont worry about the DL, not even Chuck Vogelpohl puts 3 prs in on the same day.

consider deadlifting sumo... based on the strength in your squat.

I've been looking into doing that and just added it into the revised WSB I'm doing which can be found here: http://www.ironmass.com/powerlifting...i-routine.html

sumo for competition is only good if you got bad levers for conventional. Even so, I still think Conventional is the best to go, as Sumo is hard to get heavy weights off the floor.

**DJSTARER** · 07-27-2007, 10:50 PM

actually, many lifters believe the opposite to be true. Besides the world record holders, almost all the top DLers have a sumo stance. 75% of the lifters at collegiate nationals did. The reason: non juicers can gain more on both their squat and deadlift by pulling sumo.

**romanaz** · 07-28-2007, 12:40 AM

yeah, but look at that, the record holders, the guys pulling the most weight are pulling conventional.

now why would they be doing that?

Conventional > Sumo

i did sumo for a month or so and it carried over to my conventional. it helped with my form also.

**DJSTARER** · 07-28-2007, 01:00 PM

don't get me wrong guys... I LIFT CONVENTIONAL. But with such a strong squat (the original poster), i believe he should give sumo a try. I'm only speaking from what I see: The top NATURAL lifters in the world are lifting sumo.
