Did a little bench to warm up the upper body before my back workout and I hit a new 9-rep PR with 320 lbs (I think I have 10 reps in me on a chest day). My old PR was 8 reps with 320 lbs back in Nov ‘09.

I posted the wide-grip pullups to help keep my honest in doing these….I told myself that I was going to focus more on incline’s and back in 2010. So, this is the starting point. I suck at pullups at the moment, which is exactly why I need to do them! My goal is bodyweight (BW) plus 100 lbs x 5 reps.

I started strength training a month before this video was taken. When I started, I was able to deadlift 245 before my grip gave out.

I know my form breaks and I lift partially with my rounded back which I’m sure sends me straight to hell. I lifted the next day and will continue to get stronger. Passing out had nothing to do with form and everything to do with getting stoked to a previously unimaginable level. You should try it sometime. I was still high off of the endorphins after my chin was stitched up.
