By June 9, 2015No Comments

Monday 6/8:  Max Effort Bench

Paused Bench Press

  • Warm Ups:  20 x 45,  5 x 135,  3 x 185,  3 x 225, 1 x 275,  1 x 315, 1 x 335
  • Work Sets (<90%):  1 x 355 (2ct pause),  1 x 365 (2ct pause),  1 x 375 (touch n go)  1 x 365 (2 ct pause)  1 x 355 (3 ct pause),  2 x 350 (touch n go)

Incline Press

  • 3 x 275,  3 x 265,  4 x 255

Considering body weight is down to 214 I’m pretty happy with this.  I’m losing weight fast, but strength is at least staying put.  Lost 26 lbs so far…9 to go to make 205 by July 11.  

Tuesday 6/9:  Speed Squat Day

Dynamic Effort Box Squat (10 inch box – LOW!!!!)  

  • 5 x 135,  5 x 225
  • 255 + Doubled Mini Bands x 2 x 12 sets.  2 min rests between.  

Paused Goodmornings (4 inch camber bar, paused at parallel)

  • 5 x 135,  5 x 185,  5 x 225,  5 x 275

Sled Dragging – 10 trips, 3 plates

Paused box squats this low were a BITCH to do against band tension.  Had to focus ridiculously hard on exploding out of the hole to have enough speed to finish hard through the top and make the plates rattle.  Totally gassed by the end of this.
