I can quit lifting now! Several years ago I had set a goal to do 700 x 10 with the SSB and finally got it today. My life is now complete.
I looked at my 13th cycle, I did 610 x 9 and that was done on June 3, 2003. It took almost 3 years to go from 610 to 700 and maintain 10 reps.
If I remember correctly, I believe my first set of 10 with the SSB was done with 530 on the bar.
Good day!

Great Job!!

[joeaverage]

tried my BOSS for the DL today, real tough getting to the bar, my form was compromised somewhat, great pop off the floor though. Could only manage one rep at a time.
Will try the BOSS in 2 weeks with the trap bar then decide if I will continue with it. With the trap bar I'm using a conventional stance and can get away with hunching over a bit which is what happens with my BOSS, it forces me over somewhat, just real tough to breath in.

I find the same thing with my Boss, I've used it for two deadlift workouts now. I used to be able to finish whatever I could get moving, with the Boss the top is the hard part because I'm also a little hunched over. I'm sticking with it to see if I can work it out.

Chalk one up for the old guy! ;D

Good job man keep plugging away and a few more years down the road you'll be doing 800 for sets of 10!

[joeaverage]

800 x 10 would be insane!

[joeaverage]

Everyone repeat after me, "scooped neck Inzer DD"
I PR'd what I can do for 10 reps on both cycles 1&2, I hit 435 x 10 today with the scooped neck DD. Arms have to be tight though to get the right bite in the tri's!

[joeaverage]

great dl workout today with the BOSS, 550 x 12.

[mbranz]

I ordered me a trapbar. It's coming sometimes in June. I am assuming that the foot position when starting the lift is lining up the heel with the bar that holds the plates?

[joeaverage]

no, I'm centered in the trapbar, middle of the foot with the bar that holds the plates.

[mbranz]

OK. got it. Thanks.

#1-4
was supposed to do a set of 10 on the reg bar, couldn't get my canvas on. had sent it to Ginny to get snugged up and she took to much in.

[joeaverage]

will be taking a week off from lifting, helping Mike move the gym. Carried around 30 some 100 pound plates, bars and other crap out of the gym, drove to the new place and everything up a flight of stairs. Couldn't dl and ME squat today even if I wanted to.

[mbranz]

Looks like that TrapBar Deadlift is working out prety good for you, the numbers just keep going up. what's the deal with the 10 reps SSB with Bands? Still waiting for your Canvas suit?
