Had a Great Friday. This was our last week during our “Circa Max Phase”. The guy who trains me has his competition on Nov 17, 2007 and he was having his last day of Max Band Resistance.
I have to stress how much weight the bands add. When you are standing in the “lock out” position, the bands are equal to about 400lbs, probably even more, but i don’t ever want to over guess. When you are sitting on the box, the band resistance is less, but it is still around 250lbs.
The object of the bands is for resistance, also to work on the eccentric/decentric part of the lifts. Instead of it being like “dead weight” the bands are pulling the bar down causing you to have to stabalize it alot more.
This amount of band resistance is for for experienced lifters, this took us a couple of weeks to work up to, also last week the bar flew off my back because the resistance was so much. So trust me, start slow with them.

Top of Squat: 400lbs + Bar Weight

Finally some damn weight???????? I was sick as dog you little *****! Good job on the video looks great thanks for spending time on updating your site.
I feel a little better today so hopefully i can give move some “Damn Weight” tonight. Don’t forget we gotta do abs later!
P.S. This above comment was made by “tommy” in the video, yes hes a little girl, but he is right he was sick as shit. But i bet this motivated his ass for big numbers lol
Nice video, a lot of work was done that night. We both better watch out for Tommy. He does not use equipment, trains sick and/or when he’s hurt, (unlike 1/32 of a f** Mike), and if you haven’t noticed. He is by far the most explosive on the team. Maybe when Mikes paper cut, or his hang nail heels. He will train with us on Wednesdays again. Hey Mike, I’ll bring the BOOBOO strips for you. Just show up.
Luv,
Grand Pa
There were some errors on my part with the band tensions that I will correct now. The box squat tensions on the top and bottom,respectively are: 386 and 136.
The deadlift is: 372 and 50.
Sorry for the mix up. The squat tensions are down but the deadlift is way up there.
Thanx,
Slick Rick The Ruler
Ahhhhh Rickkkyyy whats up! (the above poster is the brains in the lifting crew), i know Tommy would train rain or shine sick or dying lol.
Please bring the bandaid for me, and make sure its a pink one =] lol
OH.
P.S.
Next Wednesday i think it will be time to throw the shirt on and see how im feeling…
Im coming for you Ricky….
Thanks for the inspirational words Rick your by far the best asset i have in my training cycle. my explosive strength is the product of your great coaching and advise.
Anyone reading this that is interested in achieving functional strength and explosive power contact Rick at getstrong@guerillaathleticstudio.com i am sure he would be glad to help.
Mike I have pink bandaids left over from the days when i trained bodybuilding style. you are welcome to them until you recover and you start benching again haha.
Also Mike leave Rick alone on the bench for now i think you trying to keep up with a guy thats not human and trains every second of the day is what put you in your current position. KNOW YOUR ROLE!
P.S.
I got the files but haven’t tried it out yet
thanks bro!
Damn yoou guys are great lol.
Good glad you still got them pink bandaids. They probably go very well with your pink dumbells you weak twink. - HAHA i got to say it first!
Im leaving rick alone, for now, im starting on the bottom of the pit, i got to beat you first! lol
And yes, my strenght guy can be reached at : getstrong@guerillaathleticstudio.com , so if you think you got what it takes contact him. (He has his own training location in the Bronx, NY)
P.S. I will be benching in no time, in fact today is my bench day. Gonna hit dumbells hard. Feeling better too. Then Sunday again, then Wednesday i should be ready for you and grandpa! lol
get it straight your the Broke Back Power lifting Teams twink! Yes my dumbbells are pink but they are still to heavy for you!
you will be past me in no time i am always at the bottom you know that. You big guys are too much for me.
your strength guy????? i thought the broke back power lifting team were your strength guys? Oh my bad i forgot that you converted to guerrilla Athletics Studio since you don’t show up much.
Hitting dumbbells hard? whats that mean 70 pounds vs. the 50 you did last time? I learned a long time ago don’t call out grandpa lol.
LMAOOOO you are too funny bro.
Yes hes my strenght guy, simple because i have gotten stronger from him, unlike you, who can only call him a training partner because you never grew!! JK
Yes im hitting the dumbells hard, and i should be at 85lbs sucka! For 5!
I’ll only stop calling out the Gorrilla AKA Grandpa when i pass him, untill then, and only if then, i will keep talkin shit untill he passes me again lol
P.S. For anyone following these comments, this is the sissy lifter who lifts raw in the videos. Got to give it to him, considering he never wears gear and he can hang with the big boys and out shittalk anyone i know lol
(I just think he likes making comments to get his Performance tuning Site more exposure LOL, http://nycperformance.net/)
Hey you have to grow some shoulders to hold up that tie you wear to work everyday before you can talk junk about growing. OH wait you need to grow biceps, triceps and a chest too!!!!! LOL
85 pound dumbbells for 5 is what most of the girls do in our gym!
Also for anybody following this thread if the “admin” has the balls to show up on Sunday with his camera which is a speed bench day you will get to see how this sissy raw lifter whips his ass! Hes almost the slowest guy in the gym next to the senior citizens!!!!
Love ya Mike thanks for the props
Ricky:
It is a pleasure to see that I’m not only training the body but the mind too.
Mikes only mistake is thinking he can catch up to me. By the time he gets to where I am now. I’ll be on to the next level. But I’ll help him by leaving some numbers behind so that he can have something to dream about achieving.
Mike’s Response:
Ricky’s Only mistake is thinking his old bones will be able to keep going for a couple more years. Osteoporosis is one hell of a disease and i think he is about that age now =]
Ricky:
I do have to disagree with Tommy on one thing.Mike has built an impressive physique over the years. All he needs now is a lot of work between his neck and toes. LOL
Mike’s Response:
I think when Ricky had the lump taken off his head they must have cut a piece of his brain, because the only week spot i have right now is my ABS! And thats only between my chest to my waist sucka!
Ricky:
It was strange to see Mike so happy to see the former “coach” of the BBPT ( Broke Back Powerlifting Team) last night. I think they met for drinks and stuff after we left.
Mike’s Response:
Listen Buddy, i was going to compliment and say something like ” i was proud to show off my new found techniques and strength, due to a certain bastard who i lift with” But no way now! lol. (P.S. I owed him some $$, gas money, and i didn’t have it on me(and i owe it from March LOL, so i had to act happy suckaaaaaaaa)
Ricky:
Great workout last night Mike. It’s inspirational to see you working very hard once again.
Mike’s Response:
Same here Brother, All in Fun! Goodluck next week at your competition
yo mike whats up? i see you redesigned the site looks great but what did you with my link?! when are you coming back to the gym man we miss your girly ass.
