Incline 
hey guys! i am soooooo happy about this today because i went in there knowing i was gonna try for a big number but i had made a side bet / joke with a friend of mine about hitting a 420 kilo / 925 lb deadlift. the most i have ever done before was in the gym in phoenix and that was 905 without a suit which just beat out the lift from norways strongest man 2008 where i hit 903 lbs. after taking some time off this year and trying to get my head on straight after the second year in a row for having surgery, i knew it was time to start stepping it up as you can probably tell from watching my recent videos, although i think this will be my last max attempt for quite a while, ill try to let the body heal and do some rep/ conditioning work.
the rep scheme went like this after doing 12 sets of muscle snatches:
1. 335 lbs x 3
2. 425 lbs x 3
3. 515 lbs x 2
4. 605 lbs x 2
5. 695 lbs x 1
6. 785 lbs x 1
7. 875 lbs x 1
8. 925 lbs / 420 kilo x miss
9. 925 lbs / 420 kilo x 1 PR!!!!!!!!!
after hitting the 875 fairly easily and with no hitch, i knew it was time to try and set a PR, forget a comeback pr of 410 kilo, i wanted a real PR!!!! as i was getting set to try 420 for the first time the radio switched over to about 7 commercials in a row and i started to go ballistic…. which i shouldnt have done because its a waste of energy and i just look like a big baby. the second mistake i made on the first 420 attempt, is i stayed down on the bar wayyyyyyyy too long. it took about 10 seconds to strap up and then when he started the camera, it was about another 16 seconds before i attempted the pull. this was a big mistake because when you stay in that position you lose a lot of oxygen and your lower back begins to pump…. i know better then to do this. so obviously, i completly miss the lift with out even budging it.
i knew if i was gonna get this done i had to get my head on right. i sat down for about 5 minutes, got my head on right, got some good music playing and basically convinced my mind that i would die if i didnt get this lift. well you know what happens next and i got it!!!! that was one of the biggest battles i have ever had and cant believe i hit it!!!! i was so pumped to have missed it on the first attempt but i was able to come back and hit it on the 2nd!
yes i know i hitched and yes i know i used straps, but now everytime i do it, it will get easier and easier. the first time i had ever hit 875 i hitched but this time i did not! its all about getting stronger and getting more confidence!
well i hope you like the video and will come back to see more! oh and trust me…. there will be plenty more of this! 2010 is my comeback year! no injuries and plenty of podiums!!!! (knock on wood)

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTpOZthGnWs – For those who think I have no business trying to bench 305lbs, here’s a vid of me getting 295lbs a few minutes before this accident.
I was very lucky: no broken bones, no internal injuries, just a badly bruised chest. I took two weeks off from bench pressing, but I was squatting two days after this accident.
It was NOT the spotter’s fault, it was my fault. I was using a dangerous grip. I used the thumbs-under grip for many years with never so much as a “close call”. Needless to mention, I have changed my grip to wrapping my thumbs. But I’ll still get tons of comments about my grip from all the illiterate “experts” out there. Probably 1% of the commenters will read this.
I am not an ego lifter, as far as I can help it anyway. This lift was part of a friendly lifting contest a group of gym regulars/friends devised. I really couldn’t care less about my max. Please try to refrain from the “what’s with skinny guys trying to lift so much wah wah wah?!” commentary. My personal best on the bench press, single rep, is 340 lbs. At the time I weighed 30 lbs more than I did in this video.
Why was I recording? I had my camera in my bag, we were having a contest, just figured “why not?”. It actually came in handy reviewing some of the other lifts.
