Finished weeks 7-9 and have been struggling to get weeks 10-12 going. I got 2 out of 3 workouts in during week 10, so I am not that thrilled with myself. So I need to buckle down and get back in...
I don't even remember what I did for my upper body day...sad...but I will share my lower body workout.
Blk.Snatch and Back Squat
Sn.5x4 & Squat max w/suit
Snatch went well, especially when Jake failed the first time at trying to single arm blk snatch the weight i was finishing with ( he got it the 2nd). Speed felt decent but form felt good. Pulls felt strong, hip height was low, catches had decent lock-outs. Those were decent.
Squats ... back story ... competed this past march in iowa in a powerlifting meet. My squat felt pretty bad going into the competition and my final attempt was either 440 or 452, which I got. (Glad I got it then, but disapointing knowing I've gotten 515)... So I'm warming up on my squat sets on Friday and just feel like gettin'after it. I warm up grab my suit get it on and walk out to see where the damage is.
Because I haven't BACK squatted since late March!
135x5, 225x3, 315x1, SUIT, 405x1 - smoked it up, 455x1 - form/depth solid and already heavier than what I did at the meet, 475x1 - depth below parallel, speed up okay, Jake added a touch of spotting, and muscled the rest of it up! Sooooo....25-35lbs heavier back squat in 3 months after never using gear in those 3 months or never back squatting during that time. I'll take that.
Even after that, I still feel angry that I have found other things and made excuses to miss some workouts. Speaking of...
