Pits

I just get no feeling whatsoever in the muscles they hit.I am sure I could change a few things to make them better but I really think there are other things that deserve my attention more!!

DE Squat Day

Last day of bands for a while.Worked up after a few speed sets to a max or pretty close too a max single.I stopped mainly cos the bar is hard to rack on my own.I wonder what tension the bads add? Went to RDLs next for 2x5 and then some dumbell side bends.Feel tired now!!

Squats

Before you put your bands around the bar you could position a bw scale right next to the band, stand on it and pull the band straight up to around the finish postion and then subtract your bw from the result you get on the scale..that should give you a good idea.

But you don't want read too much into to the finish weight. It most probably will be less that you could normally lift, lol.

Great idea E, yet so simple too.Love it!

Yeah true, I realise that mate, but walking out that much band and weight tension was not even close to as hard as it was last week.Im just curious to what the total at the top and bottom was.

GPP/ Recovery Workout

Dragged the sled in grass today for 15 mins with 50kg.The council has been by to cut the grass so that was good.Everything felt great.Pretty sore from yesterday, this will help for sure.I pulled forward backward and between the legs, also some rowing too.


Also should add I did some extra ab and band GMs last night, I was pretty tired after the band squats so my ab work suffered.

DELOAD!!

ME Squat Day

Went with squats off pins today.VERY hard, especially the 1st rep.Way harder than any box squat I have done.Worked up a bit but did not Max out.Went to dragon flags next, gained another 6 reps from last week! Nice.Finished with bulgarian jump squats.I saw em on a defranco vid on youtube and just had to try them!!Easy Day.

Are you deloading all week ?

Numbers seemed high for a deload. :D

Yeah all week Talo. I much prefer to keep intensity up a little and cut volume WAY back for deloading.Works well for me, must keep the cns active or something?
