Raw Warm-Up 95x8. 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 275x2, 315x1
Shirted Bench (HPHD I think) 365x1, 405x1, 435xMiss 440x1PR, 455 Stapled!!!
CG 2BD w/Chains 225x3, 245x3, 275x3, 295x3x3
Tonight went better than expected. I wasnt in the best mood to lift, I was still sore from Mondays workout.
Well, it has been determined that the shirt I got is not in fact a RAGE X but is more than Likely an HPHD from Inzer, either way I dont really care as the results are well worth the $44 dollars spent. I actually like this material better than the rage material as it is easier to get on and adjusted, only takes around a minute, then minor tweaking before attempts. I may still get a RAGE X in the proper size to see what that bitch can do for me. Anyway, on with the hoot-nanny.
The 365 was grooveless and nothing to write home to ma about, the 405 was about the same, at that point I am sure Rick thought I was fibbing about the 425 last week. Then the 435 got out of groove and I couldnt lock it out, I got the right side done but couldnt get the left, which is unusual, normally it is just the opposite and my right side flakes out on me. Either way, I was quite confident as I called for 440, I knew I didnt utilize leg drive on the 435 and the set-up wasnt very good. I lowered the weight nice and slowly, stopped and slammed it home, easy peasy lemon squeezy!!! I swear if I could remember to do all the things right at once, every time, I could press a hell of alot more. After this victory i took a page out of Icarus' playbook and called for 455, this sucker stapled me, due to many things.
1. Concentration not 100%
2. Groove, What Groove?
3. Poor Set-up, dont think I was really ready
4. Who knows what else, fatigue? (I am up to 220 and conditioning aint what is used to be)
I fought the weight down and for some stupid reason didnt utilize leg drive, cuz I'm so friggin strong I can just Horse up 455, yeah right!! I really should have just stopped at the 440, live and learn I guess.
That was about it for the shirted bench, then we took the chains for a ride on the 2BD CGBP. The motivation was definitely down, after the shirt I felt pretty beat and would have rather taken a nap. But we pressed on and ripped out some pretty useful presses.
All in all I was quite happy with the workout and will finish up the assistance work tonight. This shirt has made benching fun again, and with the shoulder on the mend I am really enjoying this game again. Well folks, here's to getting strong!!!
Keep it Dark, Keep it Heavy!!!

I am sore today. Good workout. I was happy with the 340. BIG GAS RULZ!! knock knock...who's there? Big what?
Big Gas!!!
Stinn,
This sucker is definitely older, but its not the rage material. I didnt pay much attention to it, was just happy of the poundage i got out of it. Now i am really curious what a Rage X would do.....in due time....for now i will stick with this shirt, what ever it is, and get a Rage X all fitted from Iron Gladiators....
Thanks Jon, hopefully i can squeeze more out of this puppy next time...
