I’ll be squatting a triple with a wide stance off a parallel box every 4th week, and squatting off a low box with a close stance for a triple every fourth week while varying deadlift/goodmorning variations inbetween box squat ME days.

Next week is a concentric only good morning, then after that low box squat, then full sumo deadlift to a max, then wide stance parallel box squat. I am not sure of the height of the parallel box, but it is the second lowest adjustment, and it is probably 13.5 inches high.

AM: Extra workout: lying mini band leg curlsX13,13 supinated grip mini band pull apartX25

PM:
2X1200 feet sprints
5X500 feet sprints

I need to work on my conditioning more. The 1200 feet sprints… They broke me.

30’sX22 all partials

5 second eccentric PJR pull overs, and zottman curl (then normal, then hammer) super set

95X5 25’sX 4, 4,4
95X4 25’sX3, 2, 3

I rigged up a dip set up by using both of my barbells, and putting them on the power rack safeties. This is the first time I have ever done dips, and I apparently suck at them. However they feel great for the tricep/chest (strangely both about the same with very little delts) .

I’ll continue to keep dip variations in trying to get stronger at them doing normal rep for three weeks, and then pause for three weeks then repeat until I get everything I can out of dips.

DE work=9/10 excellent speed

supplemental work 6/10 just got slightly more reps than last time

DE close stance parallel box squat
170X2 for 10 sets, 45 second rest

full sumo deadlifts
230X2 for 8 sets, 30 second rest

conventional deadlifts
315X7
315X5
315X2

DB side bends
100X8 1 minute rest
100X5
100X4
100X4

single leg/arm DB romanian deadlift
40X15 R 45 second rest
40X15 L
40X11 R
40X11 L

It would definitely appear my hamstrings need to get up to par with my back. And that close stance box squats for DE work cause horrific whole back pumps.

My erectors are now sore from the end of my hips to mid scapula. Oh, back, why do you betray so? (that was a shit load of volume for my back yesterday, and I was actually going to switch to a ‘fluff’ exercise instead of conventional deadlifts if my back wasn’t going to take it)

Also I am really fucking liking box squats. They are a promising exercise, especially since my quads are more than strong enough for what they are needed for.

That’s how I do it too. Or at least did them, it’s been awhile.

I can’t remember what the size was… but there’s this foam pipe insulation stuff they sell at the hardware stores (something like $1 for 6-8 feet of it) that I’ve used as padding for my hands. It provides a slightly larger/better grip than the bare barbells themselves. It cuts back on the soreness at the base of your hand.

extra workout: light band good morningX80 plate clean and presses 7.5’sX15, 15
