Circa Max Lower Bit of a mixed day, five singles at 385 + 40lbs in chains on each side. Set this up perfect as the chains fully deloaded at the bottom. Using SSB to keep rotor healthy even though it was supposed to be straight bar. Dynamic deadlifts after of 6×2 at 209 against mini bands. Just trying to make it all come together before the meet. #madtownfitness #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #professionalidiot #powerlifting #equippedpowerlifting #squat #monolift #deadlift #dynamicmethod #dynamiceffort #circamax #breakchains #ssb #chainsquats #upa #upaevents (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOJE0GAczk/?igshid=lzy2wly5leix

Dynamic Bench Pre hab continues, not a lot of pain today but plenty of stiffness. 8×3 with the Titan Swiss bar to a 2 board foam at 225 with @elitefts minis. 225 is the most weight I've had on this bar for dynamic work and it moved well, so my triceps must be getting pretty beefy. Didn't stop them from hurting afterwords though. #coffeeandconjugate #madtownfitness #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #dynamicmethod #dynamiceffort #swissbar #boardpress #professionalidiot #bench (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBlGthA_6q/?igshid=4q2lazlf42fv

Max effort bench Max-ish, for my rotor it was a definite strain. Still pre-habbing the left rotator cuff to avoid rehabbing it. Titan Swiss bar for max effort today. Took 315 in a slingshot but messed up and hit the rack so took it again and got a clean-ish single out of it. Could have went up but felt a pop in my shoulder so cut it there. Back downs: 225×3×3/185×3×5/ 135×3×10 CG Should be back on straight bar soon before the meet. #madtownfitness #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #swissbar #footballbar #threeplateclub #professionalidiot #bench #powerlifting (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5d87IAj-Z/?igshid=f0h6svz3qf7g

Dynamic Squats/Max Effort Deadlifts Taking a page out of @antonio_lama19 playbook on this night. 8×3 at 275 with @elitefts mini bands to a mid box with the SSB bar because my shoulder is still being a little bitch. Smashed the dynamic work in about 6-8 min, fastest I've ever done this so I think I'm due for some kind of squat PR (maybe). With taper in effect reverse bands max effort deadlifts were on the table. 496 to start, small jump to 518, and finished with 540. At the bottom with reverse bands this is probably still close to 500, so I'm on track. Looks like I won't match @one_fit_pig on this day. Back downs of 485 for 3 singles for what I'm pretty sure was a straps down PR. #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #madtownfitness #deadlift #speedboxsquat #squat #boxsquat #reversebanddeadlift #lockitout #coffeeandconjugate #professionalidiot #monolift #powerlifting #upaevents #upa (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2ba4YAO5m/?igshid=4py7mmlrai2o

Dynamic Bench Original plan was to do 5×5 with the straight bar but my left rotator cuff said NO! So instead I banded up whatever this neutral grip bar is and did what is around 50%. 205 for 8×3 in under 12 mins in true @thecaseywilliams fashion. Shoulder felt good with this movement but still used soft touches and strong leg drive. Lots of accessories focused on pre habbing the shoulder before it tears. That is pre hab right @tomkal1 #madtownfitness #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #bench #boardpress #dynamicmethod #dynamiceffort (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvT9y2geXf/?igshid=1plvsm55fjax0

Max effort lower More of a submaximal day, warm ups felt good but heavier weight really didn't. Took 485 for a final warm up in full suit and 2m @titanpower81 wraps that I put on myself. Depth looked high but weight moved well... kind of. Took opener at 507 with 2.5m @ironrebel Rhino wraps and once again depth was questionable but speed seemed slow for an opener. No PR today, I've been through this enough times to see the red flags. Backed down to 385 for 3×3 in suit bottoms and sleeves, depth looked good here. Then 330 for 3×5 in sleeves raw. 330 is 15 pounds over my typical raw 5×5 weight from back in the day, so thats a win. Not gonna lie guys, my legs hurt like hell. Thanks to the local members for the spot and running the mono. I can always count on these two when they are here. #madtownfitness #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #squat #monolift #equippedpowerlifting #upaevents #upa (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqbAoEAF50/?igshid=593of4jybyyn

September 26, 2020 Max effort bench Back in the @titanpower81 NXG+ to rack up some numbers for the upcoming meet. 363 and 385 both looking like good contenders as an opener, however I missed 429 just barely. Rounded up its close to 430 which would have been a five pound PR but the strength just wasn't there. I think I can get it but its looking more like a possible 3rd attempt instead of a 2nd at this point. Back downs in the slingshot of 330 for three sets of doubles. Gonna get in lots of board work in the weeks left to really put some strength on that lockout. Thank you local member for the spot and hand off. #madtownfitness #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #lockitout #bench #equippedpowerlifting #caffeineandkilos #upaevents #upa (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpmUftgo7V/?igshid=108z2fqrwbvuq

September 19, 2020 Max effort upper Did some dead stop benching and tried it out with a bench shirt. Didn't really go as planned but still put up 435 for a top single. Stripped the shirt and used the slingshot to do 325 for 3×3 with dead stops between each rep. Backdowns of 3×5 off the chest at 255. If 435 had been off the chest it would have been a 10lb PR, but for this variation its a 30lb PR over using the slinger last time, so the shirt must have done something. #coffeeandconjugate #conjugate #conjugatemethod #conjugateu #conjugatestrong #madtownfitness #bench #lockitout #professionalidiot #deadstop (at Madtown Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXXxd_gL92/?igshid=ktckqu8v7qh
