FRIDAY

Decided to go to Tech this evening... got a really solid workout in:

Squat: ATG up to 1x335.  Then box squats on a 18" box: 5x275, 5x315, 3x335, 3x350.
Snatch Grip Deadlift: 6x185, 5x225, 5x1x275
Press: eventually basically did 3-4x135... failed a lot on 155 and then dropped to 115 in the end.
Pendlay row: 5x3x185
Power Shrug: 15x225, ~4x15x275
Hamstring curls (with resistance ball): 3x6 each leg
Weighted leg raise: 3x15x25lbs (put a 25lb dumbell between feet, hang from pullup bar, raise knees so thighs are horizontal)

I will probably feel this one tomorrow.  Already had chick-fil-a and waffle house for double dinner.

Getting stronger

Missed yesterday morning but went today for a short session.

Squat: 5x5x285 super set with 15x24" box jumps in between
Pullup: 3x5x35lb weighted super set with 6x70,80,90lbs dumbell row.

Took about 40 mins.  Squats were SUPER easy.  Probably because I raged hard last night at MSMR/Grouplove.

GH2 - Push Press

I've fallen off the horse and haven't done anything since Sunday. Here is the push press session I had:

7 x 5 reps @ 135-135-145-155-165-175-175

Hoping to hop back on tonight.

Light Squats, Heavy Deads

'horst and i were still pretty toast from squats/sprints on sunday, so we decided to follow the texas method program for squats this week, and use today for 85% light squats, in prep for a big push thursday for +15 lbs from sunday's weights.

this led to some big pulls on deadlift, ref numbers below

Horst:

Squats: 3x5x275
Bench: 3x5x165 (shoulder tweak still an issue)
Dead: 1x5x350

Root:

Squats: 3x5x200
Bench: 3x5x165
Dead: 1x5x325 (unbroken, PR for me by a mile)

OG Sunday: If you're gonna be a bear...

Be a Grizzly.

If you're gonna be a Grizzly, be a Grizzly that vomits pure lightening, like this guy...

Workout this afternoon:

With amazing weather outside, we pulled off the door to the OG and got to work on gettin' huge.  Horst and I pooned out and took Thursday off this week, so we were both well rested, and I think it helped out our lifts.  Willy J had a strong performance as per usual.

James:

3x5 squats at 290

3x5 press at 140

5x3 power clean at 225

plus, some bonus pullups/chins

Horst:

3x5 squats at 315

3x5 press at 145 (i think)

3x5 clean at 255

3x10 chins with grover

Root:

3x5 squats at 235

3x5 press at 130

5x3 power clean at 175

3x10 chins with grover

Also, Horst and I sprinted the hill outside my house 5 times...and both felt trashed, given that's the first time we've moved faster than a saunter in four score and seven years.

Thursday Dehydration

Had a couple of beers at a friend's house last night, woke up kinda dehydrated but went to the gym anyway...

Put in some decent work after sipping from the water fountain a good bit.

Squat 3x275, 2x295, 1x315, 1x335, missed at 350
Front Squat 5x185, 5x225, 3x245, missed a couple tries at 265.
Press attempted 5x5x135, but missed a good number towards the ends, more like sets of 3
Bench singles up to 205
