haven’t done these in a while. Nonetheless, considerable strength increase was notices, i can hold the fully extended position for some time, and as I start the concentric portion, I can contract quickly, forcefully and controlled. NOICE

Row machine: 2 mins on, ~1 min off for 3 sets.

So yeah, that’s all. I’m off to eat some more so peace out t-nationers!

They say squats bring out your weaknesses. Welp, my weakness is probably conditioning and lower back (but i hit lower back yesterday) so it’s most likely just me being a gasser.

SOOO i went and did:

2400meter run.

Now i Feast.

3 pullups / L-pullups

15 BW squats / jumping lunges

Minutes 1-16 were the non-plyo portions (no rest between sets)
Minutes 17-34 were more plyo movements with more rest between sets (about 30s to 1 min)

I’m not planning too much else for today. Yesterday was a 24 hour fast day just to see how it feels (not too bad). Today was a shorter fast, with the workout done in a fasted state.

Foam Roll

Incline Press
Bar x7x2
135x3x3
I was actually waiting for the squat rack, so i cut this set short.

But my eyes betrayed me and the squat rack was still being used…for DB lunges…

Nonetheless, I did explosive dips and stretched my spine out via traction from hanging.

Squats
Bar x7x4 (felt really sore from the last day so i needed more time to warmup)
135x3x3
225x3x3
315x1x5 <<< all paused
335x1 <<<paused
315x1x3 <paused

So a couple of comments: Back was extremely straight on this one, like super erect, 60 Degrees erect almost. I think this was good since my form is getting cleaned up. Back was super stiff though so I may have been flexing that part too hard. IDK

Leg Press
300~x7
600~x21 / + x14 Calf raises
1000~x21 / 21 Calf raises
Repeat the heavy set for 3 sets.

Then i left! back was fried. Legs were fried. time to run.

1200m run
100m x7 sprint (jog 100m between sets)

Cool. Peace out T-Nation dudeers
