#1

Back at it after USPF Nationals in WV on June 2nd.

This past week went raw in the squat doing doubles going quarter/plate jumps up to 465. Used a narrower stance than usual to get a little more quad work in.

Two bench sessions this week also. First session worked up to 275x5x5 in a worn out Titan Ram single ply slingshot. Testing out my right shoulder that has massive scar tissue buildup that I’ve been trying to get rid of. Started using a lacrosse ball to get rid of the scar tissue.

Second session was quarter plate jumps at 275/315/365/405/315 using various slingshots. Lots of extra band work for reps after each workout. I really like using bands for accessory work.

This week was just a feeler week trying to get back into it. The main “offseason” work will start Monday. Time to get back into shape!

Squat training today. Got a real nasty sunburn on my back, shoulders and neck so catalog this as dumb crap I do to get a squat workout in.

Worked 5s today at 330/380/420. I wanted 2 more sets of 5 but the sunburn was not having it. Hit the reverse hyper for a couple sets of 25 and some heavy band shrugs for a couple sets of 20.

Short workout but got in some work.

Squat did 5’s at 260/330/350/400 but got to 460 and did 2. Back was just too tight to do 5. Shut it down there. No accessories. Just one of those days.

#19

7-23-18
Squat 5s @ 235/325/375/415/465 and then 505x3. Easily had 5 but the bar started to roll and couldn’t get it back in position. Definitely gotta fix that as it seems to happen with the heavier weight for reps. Added in a bunch of rows to help build that shelf.
