in all seriousness, u dont really have anywhere to go.... at MOST you may be 5 or 10 lbs shy. I can barely hit 405X5 without elevation, and i have a raw dead over 500... so u should have no issue.

Wow, hard to believe you barely hit 405x5 flat because I've pulled it for 8. I think it's a mental thing with me. I think I'm just gonna keep pulling elevated for a while, maybe try some sumos too. I read an article on EFS about sumo pulling helping conventional pulls.

yeah, I find once you get into heavier weights for singles, your ability to rep weights slightly lower is trashed.

I thought you pulled 475 for a single off the floor a while ago?

Note: Friend of mine works at the local World Gym, he said he'd let me in for free today, so I went down there for the first time. That place is amazing.
-HS Flat, Incline, Decline Benches
-Free Flat, Incline, Decline Benches
-Cybex 45-Degree Leg Press
-HS Seated Shrugs
-2 Power Racks. 1 with Olympic Platform
-Dumbells up to 130
-Good Plates (Not bumpers, but they have weight in KGs and LBs)

That's about all of the different things I noticed. They have everything else that "Curves" has, except for less teens ( :clapping and less chicks ( )

Back/Rear Delts/Biceps B:

Elevated Deadlifts:
*Standing on 2 35lb Plates*
135x10
225x8
315x8 [L - Supinated; R - Pronated]
405x3 [Strapped]
405x3 [Strapped]
*Standing on 1 35lb Plate*
405x3 [Strapped]

Snatch Grip Deadlifts: [Strapped]
225x15 [PR]

Hammer Grip Chins: [Shoulder Width]
BWx8
BW+45x5 [Strapped]
BW+45x5 [Strapped]
BW+45x5 [Strapped]

*I didn't like these. They don't have a dedicated platform for these (I could/should have used the assisted machine that has a step) and the bars were at the top of the power rack. It was akward as hell trying to get up there*

One Arm DB Rows: [Strapped]
115x12/12
130x15/15 [PR]

*REAL DBs this time, not that ghetto double stacked bullshit. So much easier, full ROM, no inhibitions*

Pendlay Rows:

185x8 [Strapped]
155x12 [Strapped]

Old School Shrugs: [Strapped]
130x20 [PR]
130x15

*Seat was too low, DBs were smacking floor*

HS Seated Shrugs: [Strapped]
205x15
295x15
385x12 [PR]

*These were fun, didn't go too heavy*

BB Curls: [With Cambered EZ Bar]

It's way more expensive. They want $50/mo per person and my dad and I are paying $44 for the both of us at Curves. I might try to get a job there, so I can workout for free

It felt real good doing pulls off of the olympic platform, knurling on the bars was DEEP too. There was so much stuff my workout could have been like 3 hours just from trying to do it all

That's why it was so long today, just walking around the place and checking things out.

In any case I'll probably be using this place for my pulling workouts from now on. Friend is going away for 2 weeks so I'll have to make do
