Tentative Thoughts For Next Training Super Block:

Squat Weakness:
-get stronger overall
*work on balanced lower body development
*keep plyos and incorporate some speed box squats
*keep practicing free squat with prilipen’s table

Bench Weakness:
-to be determined

Deadlift Weakness
-bottom positioning due to weak hips and hamstrings
*work hips and hamstrings hard and include more sumo pulls

Lower Body ME Movements:
Sumo Pull
Front Squat
Ultra Narrow Back Squat

Accumulation:

RE Lower
squats at low end of prilipen’s table
deads at half of squats
keep increasing volume on squats and deads, not percentage over 2-3 weeks
speed box squats high volume, low bar weight, low accommodating resistance 40/25 maybe…?
low skill/stress ab work

ME Lower
Pick one from above
bent knee back ext. (lock feet down while in knee and hinge hips while feet and knees remain motionless)
walking lunges
back ext.
abs

New Maxes and Weaknesses:

Squat: 405
*need a stronger body below the torso while maintaining back and core strength

Bench: 285
*stronger tris while maintaining everything else

Deadlift: still 515
*get hips and hams stronger so my back doesn’t curl up

pause CGBP w/ chains
touch and go CGBP
