Squat Log - Target goal 405

[coreyb]

why do you do trap bar deadlifts btw?

 

[TallBill]

Sure thing, just ease back into it a bit to gauge where you're at. You hit your goal - now just make sure you don't do what I did and keep pushing through injury after injury

Nice trap DL btw.

Ugh yeah, I've had the whole hip problem before. Hoping that I'm back in the game next week but if not I wont push it.

why do you do trap bar deadlifts btw?

Mixing lots of squats and regular deadlifts kills my hips no matter what I seem to do.

Back at it again this week with a 5x5x325. I paid special attention warming up my hip as well as foot placement which seemed to relieve some pressure.

Definitely not easy, but confident that I'll get 335 next week.

Finished up with some trap bar deadlift singles as usual -- 405, 455, 475, 495. Got a nice little fan club at 495, definitely held my back almost perfect during the max, and confident that I could break the 500 mark if it wasn't for the squats before hand.

Weee, my legs were super sore all week but I went back and did 405 again today. Went up a bit easier than 2 weeks ago. I didn't wanna bump up and push my injured hip, but it's been doing a lot better this week and I'll try to add more weight again next week.

Had a ridiculously good rest of a workout today too.

Weehaw! 5x5x335 today... get some! Got a few comments from strangers. If I keep this pace up or even close for the next few months it'll be fun to be repping out 405 in a few months.

3x6x300 slacking, DL, not squat, hate squating, but felt good, went wide again.

3x3x305, felt really nice, great stretch out.

Threw up 415 today then had an insane chest/shoulder workout after, now I really feel like throwing up.

 

[TallBill]

Ouch, was doing my 5x5x345 today and on the 2nd set last rep my left foot totally cramped up. I think I was facing some dehydration issues today because I felt foul in general. Luckily I was able to set it down and stretch it out. Obviously didn't finish my sets so I'll go at it again next week. Been taking somewhat of a break this and next week because of big volleyball tournaments, gotta keep them wheels fresh.

Ripped off the last set for shits and giggles. Wanna get to 500 bad. Been doing low bar squats which feel pretty fantastic for power. You can see my depth better on my 425 video from a few weeks ago.

Deadlifted 515 on tuesday so I was pretty sore today, took a while to warm up.

Squats:
2x405, 2x405, 2x425, 1x445, 3x405, 3x405

New 1xPR, 2xPR, and 3xPR, wonder what my real 1RM could be.
