TweetSmith machines are made for girls. I'm talking to trice zoot and Chris. Ez that was a great set. Love the confidence of no safety's. Your form looked real good. I'm surprised at that with as much heel as that shoe your wearing has. That was very impressive. You are a big strong dude keep the pace. Trice you have some explaining to do. Great grandpappy trice would be rolling in his grave if he seen you using a smith machine.

Thanks bro. I only wear that shoes on leg days and when I have deads to do. It is Nike's version of an Oly shoe. It does have a .75' heel if I remember correctly, but that shoe is flat as flat can be. I love it. I tried the chucks, but they wear down on me to fast. Going barefoot in the gym is not allowed, and I respect the people that work there to much to try and sneak a set in like that ha ha! And lastly, I refuse to wear those "toe shoes", I don't know what they are called to be honest.

As the weight continues to climb, I will move back into the cage. I look at it as Me vs. The Weight. If I fail to reach my rep range goals then 1) I need to be more honest with myself, 2) Make sure I leave 100% of my ego at the door, or 3) Just a bad set which I will come back to next C1 and prove it so.

I was on the phone with Anabolic5150 the other day and he told me about a 1960's BB'er which I forgot the name sorry, who said to, "always leave one in the tank..." After hearing that, it helped me to feel more comfortable in my sets, and made me focus on realizing when I reach that point.

Maybe I'll do another video of my deads. Last dead set i got 385 x 10. So I will shoot for 405 x 8 - 12 reps this time around. I just hate asking random people to video me lol! I had to ask this girl who was squatting in the smith rack if she could record it for me, she was a little weirded out lol.

this coming from a guy who does deads in spandex? i thought spandex was for girls seriously though i used to laugh at people on the smith too but i just don't seem to have the form in the rack and it serves great as a vertical leg press since my gym only has a nautilus one
