Day 1, week 8!

I had a bad night sleep, so kind of tired to start with.

Squat 5x85, 90, 95, 97, 100lb/Pendulum 5x10x30lb

Bench 4x6x95lb

Incline bench 3x8x35lb, 8x32.5lb /Dip 4x10

Cardio 3x round trip of the green strip with 55lb on the sled, running as fast as my bad leg let me. I can actually jog in that position.

Squat dept is good, so the extra bw atg squats seem to help.

Progress at the start of week 8

Squat week 1 max 60lb/week 8 100lb= 40lb up
Bench week 1 90lb/week 8 95lb = 5lb up
OHP week 1 48lb/ week 7 57lb = 9lb up
Deadlift week 1 150lb/week 7 185lb = 35lb up

Well it seem like my sucky squat is moving up just as fast as the deadlift.
