Morgan S.'s Summer Shred - w6d1
Sunday - 21 July 2024
Workout: Squat, 1205-1240 (35 minutes)
Squat - 120x5, 150x5, 175x5 | 200x5, 230x5, 255x5, 280x5, 310x5, 335x5
I’d say:
but we all knew yesterday exactly what was coming today…
Turns out 335x5 matches my 5-rep PR, which I set back in May 2022. It just says, “hard, hard, hard,” in my paper logbook, so I’m guessing today’s sets matches that one for effort, too.
That made me look back at deadlift PRs, and I did 385x1 as a Joker back in May 2022 and later 370x6 in August 2022, so yesterday’s 380x5 (maybe with 1 or 2 grinders in the tank) is definitely some kind of progress…
Given that, it seems worth repeating that I think:
Edit: Thankfully, I had more to say about that squat PR here in my T-Nation log, and I can tell you: Today’s set wasn’t as difficult as the one in back in May 2022. Don’t get me wrong: It wasn’t easy, and though my eyes were bloodshot and I stalled a bit on each of reps 4 and 5 again today, my breathing was totally under control and I could’ve stood there with that bar on my back forever if I had to—thank you Super Squats!
Edit 2: And like yesterday, my intent is to hit the bike and do some swings for a bit of truly easy conditioning later today, just to get the blood flowing again and keep my hips loose.
