Happy (late) Birthday!!!!!! Way to celebrate, 475 squats for 10 reps! EXCELLENT!!!!
Big, if you ever get the chance to meet 3Speed, you still won't believe he's 42. If we stood side by side and said "one guy is 38, the other is 42" I would lose all bets...... Dude's a perpetual Dick Clark. :')
Excellent work, 3Speed, and my condolences for the fingernail.....however, video of the event would have been very entertaining!
Way to come back to the gym big guy!
God Bless.

I got in Friday afternoon after a long week at work to find several messages in my inbox. To those of you who are asking questions, please be patient. We had a death in the family early Saturday morning. I will answer all as soon as I can.

Things are finally slowing down a little here. Thank you to all of you who posted and sent messages.
I think I answered or asked someone else to help answer all the messages I had last week. If I missed anyone, let me know and I will get back to you.
RAW is more like a big family than any other fed I have been part of. Thank you.

Thank you Doug.
Saturday 2/17/07
Due to an old lung injury, I struggle to breathe when I squat more than 2 reps with heavy weight. That, combined with a bad head cold, changed my strategy for today. I didn't want to push the breathing issue and Ididn't want to beat my body down.
Squat
135 x 10 135 x 5 225 x 7 315 x 5 405 x 2 455 x 2 495 x 1 545 x 1
Bench
135 x 10 135 x 5 185 x 7 225 x 5 275 x 2 305 x 2 315 x 2 335 x 1
Deadlift
135 x 5 225 x 5 315 x 5 405 x 3 455 x 2 505 x 1 555 x 1
A good workout!!

Didn't want to beat the body down. Looks like a smackdown to me. You putting the smackdown on all that nasty weight! That's a great workout!

I just got up to date on your log, please accept my condolences on your loss as well 3speed.
I'll second Chancey's last post though...that is one heck of a rough "down-tempo" day!

Thank you TP.
Thanks guys. I might have given the wrong impression about my workout. I wanted to push the weight without doing a whole lot of reps that would beat me down and tax my ability to recover with this darn cold.

INCREDIBLE SUPER NASTY INTENSE INSANE SUPER DUPER KILLER INCREDIBLE WORKOUT 3SPEED!!!!!!!! man, I follow your logic, but that is still some AWESOME lifting, "even if" you lightened up on the reps! I can NOT WAIT to be in another meet with you!

Doug, get your stuff together and meet me in Virginia next month. I would love to see you lift again.
Sunday 2/25/07
I usually do a full power w/o every other week and a squat/bench w/o on the in between week. My back is still too beat up from last week so I did leg presses instead of squats for the first time in years today.
45 Degree Leg Presses (Icarian) Plate weight only.
200 x 10 200 x 5 400 x 7 580 x 4 760 x 4 760 x 4
Bench
135 x 10 135 x 5 185 x 7 225 x 5 275 x 2 320 x 2 320 x 2
Did some weighted standing crunches and left. Short w/o today.

So your that guy in the corner with all the 45s! Could you put more on anyway? I figure the machine is maxed and your holding a plate under your chin. A very much needed & deserved break for your back. Good lifting 3speed.

Sunday 3/04/07 Go Heels!!!!
Squat
135 x 10 135 x 5 225 x 7 315 x 5 405 x 2 475 x 1...5 singles, all of them low and very strong.
Bench
135 x 10 135 x 5 185 x 7 225 x 5 285 x 1...2 second pause 305 x 1...2 second pause 325 x 1...2 second pause 275 x 12

Very good workout. Really did not seem like a tough workout when I was doing it but 15 minutes after I left the gym, I realized my butt had been kicked and kicked good.

3speed...what are you best lifts? Do you compete regularly with this fed?

Post by 3speed on Mar 4, 2007 20:22:35 GMT -5
Rick, I competed in 2 100% RAW events in 2005. I did not compete in 2006 due to several injuries. My best lifts?...I can't give you concrete numbers because I do not perform max lifts in the gym and I would like to think my numbers have gone up since I last competed.

3speed we've got to get you in one event this year. That is just some insanely incredible weight your doing. Awesome deadlifting. I am not ready to step in your shoes just yet.

Yall, seriously I hope you DO have the privilege to meet 3Speed in person! I'll just say this: he's even nicer in person than he is at the forum!
God Bless.
