^^^ No...I can use my B-Law textbook :D

Actually no...I could've used that last semester....I think I'll stick with my history book :)

so aside from the not being able to drive with your legs on the floor press....how is it different from 3 board? when i do floor press, the bar usually ends up about...3 boards high :)

Try it and see. Completely different feel, imo. Without having to analyse it you can probably intuit that there is a difference between the elbows coming down on the floor and the BAR coming down on the boards..which is more like it coming down to your chest.

MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 4: Peak
Week 14 - Medium Volume
Lower Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

I have been sort of under the weather for the last few days....I have had a nagging upset stomach. In any case, I went in to workout today and my lower back was extremely stiff and my hammies were sore from the last lower body workout. The mobility drills really helped - they made a world of a difference.

Workout:

Today's session required me to do 5 singles with 90% of my 1RM on Anderson Front Squats. Last time I had taken 225 lbs and done 7 singles. This time I took 235 lbs and did 4 singles. I remember last time when I took 245 lbs I lost my balance at the bottom and I got stuck...so today I decided to take 245 lbs as my 5th single. Nailed it :)

Proceeded to do some Speed Deadlifts with 65% of my 1RM 245 lbs x 1 rep x 8 sets.

Finished up with some Reverse Lunges and Pallof Presses.

Overall Impression:

I am so beat from this workout!!! I am gonna go and have an ice-cream now :D

Cheers and good luck on the new week ahead us! :)

Awesome work! 245 is a huge number for Anderson squats...I bet that felt heavy. Enjoy the ice cream :)

everything looks really good man.

Hey thanks guys! :)

I need to eat good food though...My diet has been a mess of late. But it's ok...I'm still sexy

:biglaugh:

damn right you are. mmmm mmmmm :)

Thanks, pity :biglaugh:

This is a question for Eric whenever he gets on..

Next week I am supposed to be doing 9 singles of Sumo Deadlifts with 90% of my max.

I have never done Sumo Deadlifts. Infact, I tried to do a few reps today and they were VERY uncomfortable. My groin didn't like me for spreading my legs so much...

What should I do? Take a lighter weight than 90% of my 1RM and try Sumo? Or should I try Sumo with 90% and if it doesn't work then just shift to conventional and finish the singles?

What do you think, Sir?
