Sorry Paul not going to make that one. Maybe if there’s something after the hockey season.

315 for 5 on the CGB is no joke. Do you think you’re going to get heavier on those semi-sumo deads? [/quote]
Thanks GV. I’ll go heavier but want to pull 495x10 first.
10/29
- squats barx10 135x5 225x5 315x3 405x11
- goblet squats 60x10,10,15,10,10
- front squats 135x5 225x5x5
Have to move up in weight quickly because my back and knee start acting up after a couple sets. I’d love to eventually squat 405x20. The goblet and front squats really push my flexibility.

oops. It was only 315x5. I fixed that last night but it didn’t take I guess. But thanks for thinking I could do 10 reps. [/quote]
Only for 5!? Scratch what I said, then…poser. lol
Actually, I fully believe you can do 10. I’m just not sure I could be 5 even with a normal grip.

Well on the upside at least I don’t have to shave my legs!

Ummmm, what? If I’d known it was going to be a powerlifting meet with benefits I may have changed my mind.

Thanks Dave. My legs were a little sore the next day.

3b. 1 arm db rows 120x5,6,7
4a. lateral raise 20’s x30,15
4b. db curls 30’s x15,8
Wasn’t feeling it tonight and almost skipped the workout. But I went through the motions. Glad I did because I felt much better afterwards.
Do you think doing cleans improves your bench? By the way I don’t know if you saw my answer but I think the football bar may work well for you if you have shoulder soreness. I think that was part of the reason I bought one to give my shoulders a break from regular benching and for the variety. The football bar works the stabilizers for the bench differently and hits the triceps hard.

I have it stuck in my head I should be able to clean at least my own BW. So every so often I get on a stretch that I do cleans.
Thanks for your opinion on the football bar. My shoulders have been aching for a while now so I’m going to eventually get one.
11/3
- sldl standing on 3.5’’ block 135x5 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x5x3
- Got outside and carried a 185 lb bb around the yard and up/down my back hill.
The stiff deads felt good. I used hook grip off and on and that felt really good as well. I changed my thumb position up which felt better. The outside work kicked my ass. I’ve slipped back into out of shape weightlifting guy.
11/4
1a. cgb barx20 95x10 135x10 185x10 225x10 275x10 315x8
1b. 135x5,5 185x5 225x5 275x5,5 225x10
2. db curls 3 sets
Went for a 3.5 mile walk right before this workout so I was surprised how strong I was. The weather has been so beautiful here its been hard not to go for long walks.
Last night was a totally failed squat workout. Back and knee were killing me. Back squats are off my list of exercises at least for awhile. Going to use trap bar deadlifts instead.
11/7
- trap bar dead high handle 135x5 225x5 295x5 335x5 385x5
- powertec squats 1 pps x 10, 2 pps x 10, 3 pps x 10
3a. powertec calf raise 3 pps x 3 x 10
3b. sit-ups BWx3x10
BW exercises - Squatsx50
- deficit push-upx22
- chin-up x10
- sit-ups x10
Trap bar felt good and the BW stuff was a nice way to finish the workout.
Steve , too bad about your back and knee…but smart to train around the issue so someday you can be as strong…umm wait I meant as OLD as me and still play.
