***tonite session was a bit weird. i started off using the setup that most guys use at westside barbell(legs not tucked and just arching the upper back)to show BJ and well it felt faster and stronger so i used that setup all the way to 455 where i reverted back to my old setup. i was gettin stapled for some reason with 455. then i dropped down to 360 for 5 and used the WSB setup and BOOM! the weights were flying. 405 for 3..BOOM! again...the weights were flying. then 425 for 1..BOOM! again, flew up and so did 455 which looked faster on vid than the first time i attempted it. so i'm scaling back my training cycle to accomodate this new setup and work on it. BJ did good tonite. he did 405 for a single using the same setup i did. his 315 for 5, 360 for 3 and 385 for 1 were all easy to him. then we moved onto incline hammer strength where we had to use the 100s and then followed up with pec deck and pushdowns and we were done. i might have over-exerted myself the other day but its all endurance work. talked to hulk hires today about my squats and i have some things to fix on that as well like staying upright(head up) and finding that sweet spot on squats. i'm squattin wider than i would normally do raw and i need to work on gettin back into that old stance again. so i'm goin to take a month off the training cycle on squats to work on this but still work on gettin stronger. i'm also goin to add in pause squats too as per adam's suggestion. still on the path for that 600 raw, i will adjust to this setup. maybe pick paul key's brain on this since he uses the same setup.

the only thing that doesn't need work is deads...go figure,
TB
