ME SQUAT/DEADLIFT: BOOYAH!! Tons of energy.
Olympic Squats:
225 x 5
275 x 3
315 x 2
365 x 1
385 x 1
405 x 1
435 x 1 (+10 PR!)
345 x 5 DROP
- I'm kicking myself for not doing another set!! I put every set up FAST. Just one of those days I guess. Felt tired walking into the gym, but once I started, it was ON. Probably one of my strongest days since I started powerlifting. If I HAD a spotter, I would've definately done another set. Rock bottom. I widened my stance a little extra and blam!
Arched Back Good Mornings:
225 x 3
275 x 3
315 x 3
335 x 3 (matched PR)
- Should've added another 10 lbs. Dropped down parallel with all reps. Very fast.
Pullthroughs [180 x 3 x 12] ss w/ Weighted Hypers [30 x 2 x 10]
- Went lighter on these since my first two exercises were good to go. Hypers I still treat more as a recovery aid to flush some blood back into my lower back.
Banded Abs Pulldowns: 3 x 20
Calves: Few sets of 20 reps
- Damn. And to think I was giving it some serious thought to deloading this week since life's been hectic. Obviously don't need one since I've been steadily hitting PR's every week. I opted out of close stance leg presses for my quads only because I wanted the extra recovery for my DE workout. I've got 265 banded speed squats and 345 lb SLDL's to look forward to.
I'll probably do my pressing that day.
