There is video of 340x1

Good day today. I was kind of nervous attempting 340, after i doubled 315.

Good lifts man. No spotter? I’d be nervous too trying to do ME work without one…

Thanks man. Yeah, i’m lucky if i ever have a spotter. I’m used to it by now. I’ve learned to pick and choose my weights wisely. I don’t use clips, that way i can dump the weights if i don’t get it.

2-12-2009 ME Squat

2)GM 135x3x10

Was shooting for five reps, but decided to rack after the fourth rep. I wasn’t 100% sure i would make the fifth rep, so i didn’t want pinned. Don’t mind the swear word at the end of the video, my low back was KILLING me.

This is a pretty sweet exercise. I saw a video of jesse kellum doing this and figured i’d give it a try. I need to pause longer next week. My battery died on me at the gym, so i only have a vid of the 405. These squats were DEEP.

REALLY good day today. Might not be the most perfect floor press, but it’s a gym lift and i’m proud of it. I think it may be an all time personal best as well. At the very least, it’s a PR at my current bodyweight.

2-25-2009 ME Squat

1)Squat to pins…405x1, 435x1, 470x1, 500x0

All i did today was my max effort exercise. I had nothing left after 470 and i couldn’t move 500 at all. Nevertheless, 470 is a very solid number and i’ll take it. I’ll either try and break 470 next week, or i’ll move the pin up one spot and go for a PR at that height. It’s weird, but watching the video of the lift, it looked easier then it felt. I wish i would have jumped to 480 or 485, instead of 500…oh well.

Wow nice work, it did look easy. I like how pissed off you look too :stuck_out_tongue: How much do you weigh these days?
