1000 Pound Club. I Did It!!!
In this video I finally hit the 1000-Pound Club! At 46 years old, I really didn’t think I had a chance to achieve this goal. I just stuck to my training program and finally made it! I normally don’t flat bench because i have a torn labrum, but have been using a new muscle treatment product I recently developed on my shoulder and low back and I actually broke 5 new records this week. The 1000-Pound club totals are Deadlift = 410, Squat = 325, Bench = 265 for a grand total of 1000 pounds. The other personal records I achieved this week are: 175 Overhead Press, 225 Power Clean, 225 Push Press and a 240 Incline Bench. This has been a great week. Thanks for the support! Coach David Alexander (1000-Pound Club Member).
The 1000-Pound Club (Update) with new 410 Deadlift by Coach David Alexander
In this video I get a new deadlift PR (personal record) of 410. I only have 35 more pounds to go on my combined Squat, Bench and Deadlift totals to reach the 1000-Pound Club! I am 46 years old and this will be a great achievement for me when I reach this goal. My current PR’s are: 325 Squat (i do a deep olympic squat), 230 Bench (I do incline bench because I have shoulder injuries from sparring and a lifetime of playing baseball), 410 Deadlift (I did 405 a few years ago conventional and have switched to Sumo style and had to work my way back up, but feel I will be able to continue putting on the poundages without hurting my back).
