2/21

HBBS
315
365 unrack
405 unrack
355x3 WR
275x5

FakeB and another friend told me the 355 triple looked @8 which I kinda agree with, but I legit felt like it was @9-9.5 under the bar

FS
225x2 lol

HBBS (tempo- 2sec eccentric)
225x5 x3

Random sumo singles

GHRs
2x

Lower back was pumped crazy after the tempo work and my left hammie cramped before I got started with third set of GHRs so stopped.

That's squats tho. You can either do them or you can't, imo.

'Grats on cardio/triple pr.

Lower back and erectors felt sore warming up

HBBS
275x1
245x5
245x5 paused
275x5
245x3

Paused FS
185x3 x3

Deadlift
all beltless
185
255
305
add straps
355
445 WR

Abs rope
3x

Facepulls
5x

Ropepush down
2x

Felt wrecked before front squats. Didn't complete my 5x5 squats and still able to pull a PR deadlift. Didn't feel or look all that hard either. Need to work on my grip though.

Maybe I should actually train my pull. Or just continue focusing on squat since it's moving my deadlift up too.

Busto, I just watched a video of a 123 lb girl pulling 375 double overhand (presumably hook grip) with no straps. I'll post the video if I can figure out how to unblock it. This is her: https://ironrebel.com/pages/the-team...jard?_k=qdx6dw

This is an attempt to fire you up about making your grip stronger, not to shame you.

Tried to stretch my hip flexor and got a mean hamstring cramp so that was it.

If I can get in the gym tomorrow I'll hit GHRs and something for quads probably. If not then off until Friday or Saturday.

My shoulders are stupid strong right now and this was on short rest. Hit DB shoulders on Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully carries over to military press

If you start fresh with heavy DLs instead of PRing squats before DLing, you're less likely to miss your top DL sets. I guess its ok to do squats as secondary to DLs, but do your primary work first next time.

He has way more than that in him if he can clean up his form a little more.
