Weighed 207 tonight. Now that the dust settled I have lost 5 pounds this week because of the flu. *starts gorging* I'm never going to make it to 220.

Clean Pull from Hang:
4x135

4x135
4x135

Speed Deadlifts 2" Deficit:
8x2x225+Doubled Mini Bands

Olympic Pause Squat (oly shoes only gear):
6x225
6x225
6x245
6x245

ATG, rested 3 seconds at bottom with hamstrings on calves. I got the "your knees are going to explode that deep" speech from old man ninja who shadow boxes with 5lb dumbells and is always preaching the functional training. Told him to eat shit and die. Really I just politely nodded and told him I had it under control.

45 Degree Back Raise:
10x50lb curl bar
10x50
10x50
10x50

Shrugs, Leg Raises

How did the DL lifts with bands go?

I get comments about depth and weight on squats a lot. I once had a guy tell my I was going to die when I set up with 405. After I did it, he looked at me and said, "You didn't have to make it look that easy..." I then argued with him about proper depth. He never said anything about squats to me again.

[Donut62]

I absolutely loved the banded deadlifts. It's an awesome movement. The only natural way to pull with them is explosively as fuck to outrun the resistance. Perfect for a DE movement.

How much longer do you have left on WS4SB? What program is next?

[Donut62]

I don't do WS4SB, I follow the Westside principles of DE/ME Upper/Lower split. I'll do it as long as I keep making gains, which provided enough variation, should be forever I'm interested in powerlifting.

The part I don't understand is I hear sportscasters saying that the Bills lost because of the snow, as if to say that it nevers snows in Buffalo? Wtf.
