Spent a lot of time talking to Danny today... Here's some highlights:
- He's looking for a training partner, so I'm going to judge Sheiko after the Nov meet and decide how to proceed.
- I told him about the two-hour weigh-in. His advice? "Don't compete. That's impossible."
- He says I should weigh about his weight (260) and bench around 400 raw.
- He tweaked his knee today.
- I was going over Sheiko and we were talking about doing multiple sets at 70-75%. He asked, "So what's the point? To get stronger?!" (Last part incredulously.) Lols.
- We were talking about deadlifting, and somehow talked about Coan's 198 record. He said, "It's even more impressive chemically. The pros today are doing very stupid things. They did stupid things back then too, but less stupid."
- He says my bench set up + arch looks a lot better doing "Phil-style" set up. I've also moved my grip out a little wider, so w/ the arch, the stroke feels noticeably shorter.
- He says my deadlift is perfect, except I'm doing to cut off my toes w/ the plates some day when I drop it.
