I will keep this day in........this is what I did when my progress was most steady...it may seem training has been just as good lately but a lot is due to improving in gear and strength off floor but overall my gains were a little better when I had this day in.

SLDL are one of the best builders for me, I hate them but they work.

Sounds like an awesome trip man.

Solid training. Huge SLDLs.

[ShooterX]

Doing some great work Nick.

[HJP]

Nice SLDL's!! Look pretty heavy man!!

[NickAus]

Thanks Tom, Shooter, Tank, Traps, Mark and Hayden!!!!!

Pretty sore today, pretty much everywhere ha ha.

The low box squats raw and SLDL are weaknesses that need work and I actually really enjoyed that day.

Bit of rest then its speed pulls with 405+200.

GET SOME!

My strength seperating bar from pins on rack pulls needs lots of work to move the numbers Im capable of there.

[StLRPh]

jeez Nick, 3 pulling PRs in one session!!

[NickAus]

Thanks brother!!

Really really keen to do an ultra wide of 645 but it's going to have to wait, I'll do it in 6 weeks.

Enjoying this big time!!

[Brian C]

God dam Ill settle for 1 pull pr lol. Awesome stuff Nick!

[Brian Hopper]

Huge volume session Nick, great job on all the PR's!!! I wouldn't worry about the speed of breaking the bar loose off the pins. I think it's pretty hard for everyone. But I do understand why you would want to increase your speed for that though. Either way, still pulled some heavy weight.

[HJP]

Massive session of pulling NickNZL!! (I'm claiming it as your new screen name anyway lol) Any vids?

[Mark!]

With all this steel you're ass is haulin' around you could have done built a full sized aircraft carrier bro. Awesome awesome stuff NickNZL. <--That's right, I'm on bored.

[NickAus]

Thanks BC, yeah was a good day but I was a little pissed at missing the ultra wide 645 two weeks in a row....feel like it should go up because 585-625 moves pretty easy.
Ill go back to that movement in 6-7 weeks and smash it!

Thanks Tank, I need to work it because its just such a big difference between seperating from pins (hard) and once its moving (easy).
Still I guess we all never dont have something that needs lots of work ha ha.

Thanks Hayden, yep ill do it!

Thanks Mark, Ha thats funny.......all the haulin steel has thickened my fingers up and made my ass bigger ha ha.

[Coke]

You are without peer on the pulls, make no mistake!
