Warm Up Dead Lift 135x5, 135x5, 225x5, *add 120# of chains* 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 365x5, 365x5 these felt good. Pretty strong off the floor (which was the point) and near 500 at the top is nice to know. Back Extensions w/ orange band and 45# KB 3x15 the burn! BB Glute Bridge / SSB Seated Good Mornings against Orange minis 135x12, 185x12, 225x12, 225x12 / 3x10 Reverse Hypers / Planks / SSB Yoke Walks 3x10 / 3x40 secs / 300# x3 60yds really just walked with a purpose, no speed here, trying to keep glutes activated and core engaged.

Warm Up Squat *working sets done with 3-5 second eccentric phase 135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, *add 40# of chains 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5 these are getting better. Definitely feeling it more in my ass than in my adductors and out quads like I used to. Hard to break old habits but starting here is what I have to do. SSB Good Mornings from Safety Bars 155x10, 185x10, 195x10 getting harder Belt Squat / Hex Bar Walks 90x12, 140x12, 160x12, 180x12 / 225x50yds, 225x50yds, 225x50yds, 225x50yds easy stuff, just working on proper bracing with my glutes and core instead of psoas/QL. Also, the leg pump is real with those belt squats Reverse Hyper / Planks 3x15 / 3x45 seconds these are getting better, less shaking.

Warm Up Push Press 95x5(strict), 95x5(strict), 135x5(strict), 165x3(strict), 185x0 ugh my strict press has dropped dramatically since I stopped flat benching. Meh. PP 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 225x3, 225x3, 225x3 these were pretty routine, not too hard but definitely a noticeable triceps weakness. 135x5 strict with 3 second eccentric. Incline Bench / Prowler Push 135x8, 135x8, 185x5, 185x5, 205x2 *decided in the middle of the set that losing form to get the weight was dumb and dropped it down for some reps 135x10, 135x12 need to build my chest again. / 90# x 50 yds x 5 rounds ugh, so out of shape Neutral Grip Pull Ups / Face Pulls 5,5,5,5 / 3x10 Push Ups / Curls / Dead Bugs 5x10 / 5x10 @ 70# / 100 reps very slow, so much harder *back in college I did 10x10 push ups/curls 2-3 times a week and my bench went up 50 pounds in 4 months and shot put went up like 6 feet. It's time consuming but I need to get back to it at some level. 5x10 was way too hard for me which sucks but it's what I get for taking 6 months off benching.

Warm Up Dead lift 135x5, 135x5, 225x5, 225x5, 315x3, 315x3, 405x1, 405x1, 455x1, 505x1 *Beltless PR I think, 2" deficit 405x3, 405x3, 405x3 pretty happy with the 500 beltless which is light for some but for me, it's solid. Hoping to crack 585 this off season eventually. Maybe 600 if the stars align? Snatch High Pull Progressions (Hip -->Floor in 5 reps lowering each rep) 135x5, 185x5, 185x5, 185x5, 185x5 BB Glute Bridge / Vertical Pulls (RDLS with back of knees against bench) 185x10, 225x10, 255x10, 255x10 / 225x10, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10 I wanted to die Light Reverse Hypers / Planks 2x12 / 2x50 seconds Ran out of time/energy

Finally able to get a 4th day of work in this week. Mostly BB stuff Seated (with no back) OHP from bars at eye level 65x10, 95x8, 135x5, 135x5 135x5, 95x10, 95x10, 95x10 my OHP is garbage. More work Hammer Strength Rows 5x10 up to 360# Tried some Cuban press but my biceps tendonitis in my left arm would have none of it. That is my next project for sure. Hammer Strength Seated OHP / Face Pulls w/ Band 5x10 up to 90# per arm / 3x15 Skull Crushers / DB Supinated Curls / DB Side Raises / DB Rear Delt Flys 4x10 @ 85 / 4x10 @ 40s / 4x10 @ 20s / 4x15 @ 20s omg the pump and heavy breathing. Some light core. Feeling good, weight is up around 297-299, haven't cracked 300 yet but I feel like I'm not looking fatter so, hopefully things are working.

Warm Up *I think I pulled my calf last week. It was sore all last week but I thought nothing of it and it has not gone away. Stayed away from anything dynamic this week but man is it annoying! Squat 135x5, 135x5, 225x5, 225x5, *Add 120# in chains 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5, *remove chains, 275x1, 315x1, 365x1 these all felt really good. I can feel myself using my glutes to stop my decent now that I have my feet a bit wide and toes a bit more pointed out. Knees wanted to dive in but couldn't which was great. Progress is slow, but it's happening. SSB Good Mornings to a bar 155x8, 155x8, 155x8 SSB Box Squats to 20" box 155x10, 205x10, 245x10 holding my breath the whole way down and up is easily the hardest part. SSB Turned backwards Front Squats 155x8, 205x6, 245x6 called it here as my upper back was rounding too much and knees caving. These were cool tho! Reverse Hypers / Planks / Soft Med ball slams (15#) 3x12 / 3x55 seconds / 3x10 right and left side each, then 2x10 forward slams

Warm Up Axel OHP (Some strict, some PP) (strict) 75x5, 75x5, 115x5, 115x5, 135x3, 165x3, 185x1, 195x1 (PP) 225x3, 225x3, 235x3, 235x3, 185x10 not bad. My strict press is getting better but the lack of triceps and anterior delt strength is noticeable from not benching. The frustration with my strength overhead may cause me to bench again. Maybe. DB Rows 100x10 each, 110x10 each, 120x10 each, 130x10 each, 130x10 each Incline Log Press (65# log) 155x8, 175x5, 205x5, 205x5, 155x9 these felt infinitely better on my biceps tendon. I am weak tho, good lord. Face Pulls / Rear Delt Flys 3x15 / 3x15 Push Ups / Curls / Swiss Ball Crunch 6x10 / 6x10 @ 75 and 85 / 3x30 Dead. Lifting again tomorrow then off for Thanksgiving weekend. Should be back fresh and ready to go Monday.

Happened to stumble on some useful info while looking for shoulder internal/external rotation stuff, about femur internal rotation. Based on the symptoms and resulting mechanical patterns, it looks like what I have been dealing with. I now have a plan of attack for getting those to rotate to a proper direction, but in the meantime, I realized that if I point my toes more outward than I usually do, my knees track properly over my toes and I feel my glutes more than ever. So I decided to give it a try today for deads! Warm Up Dead Lift 135x5, 135x5, 225x5 *add 2" deficit 225x5, 315x5 *add 120# of chains 315x5, *add doubled mini orange EFTS bands (50# added each at top) 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5 *remove chains, bands, and deficit 315x1, 405x1, 495x1 wow, the added foot turn out resulted in so much more horse power! These were difficult but none were grinders. With about 535 in weight at the top, I'm pretty pleased with then hitting a 495 single, double overhand, no belt. Figuring things out, better late than never. Reverse Leg Curl (counter weighted glutehams) / Med Balls hammer wind Slams 3x10 w/ 290# added in counter weight / 3x10 each side w/ 20# med ball BB Glute Bridge / Banded lying Abductions (for glute med) 3x10 @ 195, 235, 235 / 3x10 each leg Reverse Hypers / Dead Bugs / Trap Bar Carries 3x10 / 3x30 slooow / 3x50 yds @ 250, 300, 300 Bring on some food.

Thanksgiving was a success. Gainz were had. Belts were stretched. But now it's back to work.
11/28/16 Warm Up Squat w/ Buffalo Bar 135x8, 135x5, 225x5, 225x5, 275x5, 295x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 225x10 pedestrian weight, but with new foot/leg positioning, I felt good about it. Hips are still weak from not being used much in the way I used to squat, but I know it'll come back to me with some hard work. SSB Good Mornings / Banded Abduction work 155x8, 185x8, 185x8 / 3x12 SSB Box Squat / Planks 185x10, 215x10, 245x10 / 3x1 minute core getting stronger, which is nice. Reverse Hypers / Prowler Push (quick marching pace) 3x12 / 3x60 yds @ 180# added. Body Tempering for quads after, I really need these things to loosen the F up.

Warm Up Squat 135x8, 135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, *took shoes off 225x12, 275x1, 295x1 hmmm. Knees were diving in left and right. Decided to go barefoot on a hunch and it felt so much better. Knees tracked perfectly, glutes engaged. Hmmm. I've squatted on oly shoes for the last 5 years and I am wondering if I should switch to flat shoes. Not sure... RDL / BB Glute Bridges 275x8, 275x8, 275x8 / 225x12, 225x12, 225x20 Reverse Hypers / Stir the Pot / Sled Drag Sprints 3x10 / 3x10(each side, so 20 per set) / 3x60 yds @ 135# added Not a lot of time today. Going to keep playing with flat vs elevated heel for squats. Maybe it's just me thinking the grass is always greener. Who knows.

Warm Up Squat 135x5, 135x5, 225x5, 225x5, 275x3, 275x3, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5 Pause reps (5 secs) 225x3, 225x3, 225x3 ugh these were terrible. I did all warm ups in just socks and they felt ok but I did one set of 315 with shoes, one without and they felt the exactly same. There are a lot of issues with my squat and I may cave and look into coaching for it. Ugh. BB Glute Bridge / Single Leg RDLs w/ Fatbells 225x20, 225x20, 225x20 / 44x8each, 44x8 each, 53x8 each Belt Squat Machine 4 sets of 15 up to 140# total. Quad burrrrrrn Reverse Hypers / Stir the Pot w/ Swiss ball 3x20 / 3x24 (12 each side) core getting stronger I think This training sesh was crap. Or mentally I felt like crap after, like nothing was accomplished. Squats are just one of those things I have worked so hard on to fix my form and yet they continue to be an utter struggle. I will see what kind of coaching I can potentially get because obviously what I am doing isn't cutting it.

Maybe try some front squats for a bit and see if you can break the funk. Grab some vid and send to our group and maybe we can help.

Totally forgot to respond to you, Al! When I do front squats my upper back rounds and it has been hurting my lower back (due to kyphosis/lordosis). Doesn't mean I shouldn't do them, but I really want to work on my upper back tightness before diving into those again. But I appreciate the advice! Also, Damien, thanks for the assistance! Warm Up Squat 135x10, 185x8, 225x8 just to loosen the hips Dead Lift 135x5, 225x5, 225x5, 315x5, 315x3, 405x3, 455x3, 455x3, 455x3, 455x3, 455x3 these felt good. No belt and they moved at similar speeds. Deficit Deads 2" 315x8, 315x8, 315x8 Block Pulls 4"blocks 315x8, 315x8, 315x8 BB Glute Bridge / Fixed BB Single leg RDLs 225x15, 275x15, 275x15, 275x15 / 50x5each, 70x5each, 90x5each, 110x5each Reverse Hypers / Dead Bugs 3x12 / 3x50reps Today was a good day.
