JBs Quest for Strength

[AllTheWay]

impressive OHP given you have one bum shoulder!

suitcase deads look interesting. it is always fun to keep things mixed up a bit

have a great day!

Thanks ATW. Funny thing is that OHP shoulder is fine its just the DB presses. Even bench doesnt bother it. Honestly it was just felling really weak. Ill just rehab it a little.

Awesome work JB, those speed benches make me cringe brother, just enough break to change grip OUCH!!! How did you feel during and after?

 

[jandj0821]

Sore as shit now.... Lol ! My tris are on fire. Changing the grip to wide then rack then close the rack was a bitch bro. I usually use the red mini bands with 185. That hurts.

Awesome day, I got my new belt so thought why not max out on my shitty lift that I suck at. So I did. Almost threw up and loved it…. How sick am I in the head. Never really used a belt before. I have been scared to go to high because of injury.

great job on the deads. a good belt can do wonders for deads! i might have to try me some suitcase deads sometime.

enjoy the epsom salt and liniment

Thanks ATW! Yeah I love my liniments! I got halo hooked on them! I just got the lever belt and it's awesome

Seems these would be very similar in form to using a hex bar with handles. Am I right?

 

[jandj0821]

Thanks II! The suit cases are different. Take 2 bars side by side and lift. Lot of balancing and grabbin in the right area. You would love them

 

[Halo]

Congrats on the Deads madman!!!! Keep it up 500 is in your not too distant future!!!
