I went up to Absolute the past 2 training days to get some help and coaching from Paul Childress. Nate, Tom, and I all put the suit on Friday with the goal of finding a comfortable weight to open at.
Suit Work
Worked up to 505 in briefs
Put suit on
605 x 1 straps down
655 x 1 straps up- had trouble setting up and getting into position but the weight was still easy. This will be my opener.
655 x 1 Much better set up, still some things to work on
695 x 1 Felt pretty strong
I got a lot of coaching from Paul, especially when I take the bar out of the rack. I tend to shrug the bar out and don't have my hips underneath me enough. It sounds small and meaningless but if you start wrong you spend the entire lift trying to fix things and that doesn't work undr big weights. I will be squatting up at absolute a couple more times totry and fix this with Pauls coaching.

Abs
4/3/11- Shirt Work
Worked up to 365 x 1 raw
Added shirt
405 x 1 no touch, about a two board
455 x 1 very close to touching pressed well
455 x 1 pressed over face, thanks Paul for saving my skull!
455x 1 miss grooved, no go
The goal today was to try to find an opener. I thought 455 might be it but after today I need to put the shirt on one more timeand try to touch something lighter. Paul suggested moving my feet out from underneath me. I used to bench raw that way but felt better with my feetunderneath with the shirt. I will give it a shotnext session.
