Week 3 and the percentages have gone up just a bit. I'm really back to finding my groove on this bench. Was dealing with a lot of shoulder injuries going into the last meet. Being able to train and get all the reps in the last three chest training sessions is a game changer. July is going to be a good meet. by @jam5ram5

My body may be slowly breaking at times, but with all the pt I have been getting and alot of ice, we are starting to peak and weight is moving. Time to raise the black flags and get ready for war!

As always great lifting day with my brother Tom. Big weight is moving this week! Let go to war brother! 🏴🏴🏴 by @jam5ram5

We are stretching, massages, pt round clock and ice. Whatever it takes to get to the platform and put up big numbers. Back is starting to adjust to all the constant torque and torture we are putting on it. But whatever it takes to get to thst platform and put up numbers we do. No excuses. November 7th is right around corner. We are coming Tom! by @jam5ram5

We have been battling some hip and and back issues hard last few weeks. But with alot of pt and stretching, this week, and a fuck the pain attitude. We were able to move some weight. We will keep jumping next 4 weeks with big jumps and keep this same attitude. Cant break what chooses to be unbreakable. Shout to Tom for having my back always and force me to push thru. by @jam5ram5

After getting alot of PT work done last week, our back pain has subsided alot this week so far to make the little bit of higher weights easier. Percentages will keep climbing and we will be ready to throw any weight around thrown at me. My mind is getting focused for this pro meet and I think for 3rd meet in a wromg a peak is starting. So let go kick thst platforms ass!

Again thanks to big little brother Tom for keeping my head grounded and keeping me dialed in. This meet is going to get fun! by @jam5ram5

Big jumps and heavy percentages are coming. Dealing with bad back but there is zero excuses. We just pick the shit up and put it down. Looking forward to doing bigger weight in next few weeks. Coach has me in a good place. by @jam5ram5

4 weeks ago did I think getting to 600 was an option this fast. No. We were struggling with 430 after taking 9 months off. CNS,MIND,CORE,SPINE,AND MUSCLES are all firing again at same time. Time off is a must at times, but this was hard for me like I had to completely start over. But everything is firing and the strength surge has started. Big numbers coming Zeus.

To big little brother, after everything you have gone thru to see 600 plus go up like a feather today, Im motivated and locked in.

Thanks for coach Zach to give me his time today. We are dialing in. The Showdown is gonna be epic! by @jam5ram5

We are starting to feel bigger weight and its moving well. I've never taking 2 months plus off and done no powerlifting leading up to a meet. But my body needed it. Everything 3 weeks ago was so heavy at much lighter weights, but everything is coming back with a vengeance. Feeling good. Good to see little brother almost touching 665 with ease after rehabbing everything so hard. 7 coming with ease in a couple weeks. He motivates the hell out of me. The Showdown is gonna be very special. by @jam5ram5

Third week back and 440 was heavy 3 weeks ago after 10 weeks off. This week 540 felt like a feather. Cns is back and everything is engaging and fire at same time to make lifts easier. We are 10 weeks out Saturday. Hope this strength surge just keeps jumping. Thanks to Tom as always for having my back. Lets go to war big fella!!!!! by @jam5ram5

When you take time off and don't bench at all for 8 weeks, you have to retrain your body how to lift. The brace, the leg drive, staying in the right grove slot. Everything has to stay in unison. 2 weeks ago 340 for a single was a chore and this week 385 3x1 was not. Nice to know we can jump back quick. We are on a mission and we are climbing. Good chest day with my brother Julius! The viking ship is in route to the Main November 7th. by @jam5ram5

After taking time away, not doing anything heavy but accessories and no bar work on the three lifts, its nice to get into prep and start feeling the heavier weights again. After 2 back to back meets I needed a break, but the switched is flipped. I have attempted anything over five hundred on deads in 2.5 months and it was nice to jump in and pick it today. 11 weeks out and we are coming! by @jam5ram5

After two months off we are finally back under the bars. The Shack Showdown Pro is November 7th and its time to dial. Coming off my last meet and crushing that goal we will now go into this pro meet with a bigger total in mind. That would be 3 meets this year and all with a bigger total. After the horrific motorcycle accident last year and where they said I'd never come back, it will make this year the most special yet.

Tom let's go kill that fucking platform! Great to be in prep again with my best friend! We didn't know if this would happen again, and it makes this meet the most special one ill ever do. Julius and Vincent are coming to the Main! by @jam5ram5
