Light Day

Felt tired today, but got in a decent workout tho,squats were feelin ok, still a bit sore from monday.I lightened up press and went with a tad more volume, my whole shoulder area was pumped up bigtime!! I havent done rep work for ages especially on shoulders, it felt nice to have good bar speed again on presses

I then did some speed work/form practice with deadlifts.10 super easy singles at about 50%.

Light Day 6/2/08
Squat 3x3 70kg
Press 4x8 35kg (the pain people the pain!!)
DE Deadlift 10x1 70kg

Performance Day

Had a pretty sweet day today guys, I did Box squats heavy for the 1st time, I've been practicing form for a little while and wanted to see how things looked going heavier.All went pretty ok I think,I got a vid but Im pretty flat out the next few days Ill see if I get a chance to up it.I also did some DE type normal squats but probably didnt need to, I didnt realise how much work I had done on the box.Paused 2 boards were next they flet good too, then a couple of sets of pullups.Good workout.

Performance Day 8/2/08
Box Squat 80,90,100,110kg all for sets of 2
DE Squat 10x2 55kg
2 Board 85,95,96kg 1x1
Pullup BW 2x7

Alright heres those box squats

You Tube

Still not tight enough IMO, still moving back a tad too.

EricT · 02-09-2008, 11:40 AM

Excellent. Much tighter. Looks like you drift back more as the sets go on but it's really good. Great work.

What is that you are using, a cooler? That'll work.

HIThopper · 02-09-2008, 01:08 PM

Yeah thanks Eric I thought they were ok, I really felt them in all the PC.Im using a cooler its a tad lower than the bucket and I fill it with plates, seems pretty solid.

Thanks for the critique mate.

Good job. The form looks pretty good, maybe just a little tighter to control the slight drift back but overall really good man!!
