@Benanything Thanks man. I’m thankful this place has remained tolerable during that time. I’ve ended up leaving a lot of sites during that time.
@dchris Man, I still remember writing that post. There was a lot of trepidation toward posting on t-nation during that time. It was known to be super hardcore and I felt like I had to “earn” the right to register and post, and it wasn’t until I got that far into Super Squats that I felt ready for it. The hardcore edge has dropped a touch as folks have migrated on and the climate has changed, but the noise to signal ratio is still pretty solid.
And man do I miss being able to eat like that, haha.
AM WORKOUT
(4) Axle Mat Pulls
5x136
5x226
1x276
1x366 (mixed grip)
1x456 (mixed grip)
8x576 (straps, rest pause, touch and go)
10x486 (straps, deadstop)
28 second DOH hold 276
Notes: Tweaked that recurring injured spot in my right lowerback/glute on the topset of 576 at the very last rep. My technique while fatigued fell apart and I pulled it totally stiff legged. Repeated that same mistake on the last rep of the 486. It wasn’t the catastrophic re-injury I normally experience, but enough to make the DOH hold a little tricky. Couldn’t stay locked out.
GHR sit-ups w/25lb plate
2x8
Notes: 2 sets was what I could manage.
Buffalo Bar Squats
5xBar
5x100
5x140
3x190
1x230
1x280
1x320
1x370
1x410
Rest pause (15 deep breaths between reps)
3x460
1x460
3x320
5x320
Notes: Left knee was pulling in an uncomfortable way on the sets of 320, so I racked it. Getting a little smarter in my older age. Topsets of 460 were what I could manage with the back pain. I don’t know if the knee issue was a result of some shaky reps of 460 or from running on Thurs; something to monitor at least.
PM WORKOUT
Buffalo Bar Squats
35x230
Notes: Usually what I do when the squat workout won’t take in the AM. Was hoping for 50, but sometimes you gotta just take a W where you can.
