So read something about Myo-reps the other day and wanted to try it. I like it a lot and will be using it some more in the future. TRAC today was bad again. If it’s bad again after I sleep in tomorrow, I QUIT. Seriously though I’m gonna be confused. Reverse band DL tomorrow. And my brothers 21st b-day.

Had an awesome workout this day. Squats are coming back up and feeling better. I went through 6 days of non-stop leg soreness last week and it was hell. I cut the depth on my squats and I’m gonna work at this depth to build it up. I’m going way to low as it is and this is right at paralell. I feel like I could squat some massive weights like this eventually. It feels like I’m cheating lol.

Kind of pissed I couldn’t squat. I thought about pushing through the pain, but decided against it. Probably a good decision. Hopefully it’ll be ready by thurday.
I changed my technique up on JM presses. It puts way more tension on the triceps and elbow, but with a lot lest weight. This has come to be one of my favorite days. I love hitting my triceps hard.

Just working on exploding and bouncing out of the hole. Realized half way through that “bouncing/rebounding” didn’t work too well for me.
205x3
225x3
185x3
245x3
Tire flip: 6x2 exploding all the way through with each rep
So I wasn’t even planning on squatting today, but my hip felt aight so I went for it. Wanted to work on exploding, but half way through I changed it up a little. So basically I was just messing around with different things, playing with my stance and stuff. I also brought my grip in on DL about an inch or two. I felt really cool. Can’t wait to try it on a day when I’m not so weak.
Squats felt great. Nice and hard as hell. The weight is still down, but it’s starting to move up. Next week I’m on vacation. This week I’ll be working 10hr days an hour and a half away, so I’ll only have time for one exercise a day this week. When I get back from vacation I’m going to focus on my 5rm on squat. That’s the only real goal I have in mind. Gotta keep hitting speed work on DL and paused speed on bench.
For those who cared to follow this log I have a new one now. Just started working with Brandon Lilly and his Cube Method. I’m training for a PL meet in March right now.
Stopped logging becuase I just got really busy. Started massage therapy school in July, which is a weekend course, and have until Dec. til I graduate. On top of that I have a full time drywall job during the week to pay for it. To say I was having a hard time recovering is an understatment. So when I first caught wend of the ideas in the cube method I started using it and immediatly stopped feeling like shit all the time. But, to get ready for a meet I knew I would need some help and B.Lilly opened up some spots for online coaching so I messaged him and got started. 2 weeks in now.
