I want to say I am still sick, I’ve been sick since Wednesday when I mucked my bench workout, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse. The 515 raw pull was not too bad, it got to lockout quick then a brief pause before I pulled my shoulders back. Once I put on the suit however I could NOT get my shoulders back, each time I pulled I got to lockout quick and got stuck and each time I pulled a got a little higher. I’m fairly convinced I could pull 600 to this point, 535 felt like 300 coming off the ground. I’ve got an issue, it’s either a muscle problem or a form issue or both.
I did some accessory and felt sick to my stomach so I called it a day and went home.
Don’t Fret. Being sick you are way less than 100%. I admire you for giving it your all, even faced with illness. Many would have skipped the workout all together.
I’m convinced you will have 600 in you for the Calgary meet.
Man all the bloggers working out on X-mas Eve make me feel like such a lazy bastard!!!
You were just sick, Stinn. Think nothing of it. 600 should come soon.
Merry X-mas.
600 will be yours Stinn. Like everyone said being sick doesn’t help. I know that it effects me a lot. So let it rip next time.
Merry Christmas.
Nice job pushing when you felt less than 100%, Stinn…
You aren’t the 1st person I’ve heard complain of not being able to get there shoulders back when deadlifting in a suit.
I think it’s just an issue of getting used to the tightness and breaking the suit (and your body) in…
I don’t seem to remember you doing heavy high rack pulls. Give them a go and maybe some super heavy power shrugs as well if it’s muscle issue.
