my bench days are backwards for now so that Mazza and I can be on the same workout when we train together.
Finally got my Ginny canvas back, will try it on cycle 4.
My phenom and a DD is at Inzer. Taking 2 inches in on the phenom chest plate and one inch on the DD. My phenom is broken in and will be screaming tight, so 600 should go.

[joeaverage]

I think I'm going to stick a week or two off into each 12 week cycle, I come back very strong after a week off. 630 x 8 with the TBDL was a nice surprise.

[joeaverage]

Ginny canvas fits real well, finally got 10 reps on cycle 4.

[joeaverage]

hit 700 x 5 with the trap bar, first time I pulled weight with the trap bar where I thought, "this is heavy", but it felt good and back feels strong.
A guy by the name of Dan Petrillo will be competing in the Arnold Classic in march. He started training with me today doing the JA squat and dl workouts. I'm not training for anything, that's why I switched back to the SSB now and not at the end of this cycle. I will finish my bench and dl and max both those.

[joeaverage]

bench went real well today, 505 x 4. weight felt light in my hands. had a good groove and just threw the weight up. probably try a max in 2 weeks. when I just missed 600, it was in a phenom. I sent that phenom in for alterations and Inzer butchered the shirt and didn't replace it. so, I've been in a double denim. So, I'm going to try 575 first then to 600. 575 will be a DD pr for me.
Now, I'm considering doing Gene's IPA meet on March 31. Just the bench and dl. I hope to be in a Katana poly by then and I should smoke 600 plus in that. The dl training is going real well with the addition of the trap bar, so I'll try a dl max as well.
Fat Pete, get your ass ready for a smackdown!

[Dennis]

So you feel the Katana is a superior shirt to the DD?

[joeaverage]

I haven't used a Titan yet, one of the guys that benches with me is in a F6 and yes that shirt is far superior to anything Inzer has. Mazza is switching to Titan, so I'll get a Titan poly shirt through Joe.
believe it or not, the way the material and the shirts have evolved, I consider an Inzer DD to be a basic shirt now. Remember back in the late 90's it was the HPHD and EHPHD poly's from Inzer, those were the top of the line. Then the DD's came out and they were the top of the line. Now I consider the DD to be your basic shirt and these new Titan poly's to be far superior and top of the line.
Just my opinion though!

[Dennis]

Are they open or stretch back?
I have tried all the Inzer poly's from the old days, I was lucky to get 25-30 lbs out of them.

[joeaverage]

I think you can't get them both ways, the guy wears an open back.

[joeaverage]

after doing 700 x 5 with the trap bar I was hoping for 2-3 with 750. CNS is shot, back is tired, time for a break. probably won't max with a reg bar until possibly that meet at the end of March and just surprise myself.
