Race to 315 Squat/Deadlift

Training Powerlifting
221

Squatted 270 x 3 today, a PR. Progress on SS is definitely slowing down :slight_smile: gotta think about what comes next. 5/3/1 probably.

222

Squatted for the first time in Adistars. Damn, Iā€™ve been missing out! Felt rock solid through the shoes and the weight felt right through my heel. Loved it.

Went 110x8. 2 rep PB for me.

223

The shoes are excellent, but remember, keep working on your hip mobility. From Fletch: ā€œThe heels artificially give you more ankle flexion. This extra ankle flexion takes the place of hip mobility and has the potential to start knee problems. I would suggest using the shoes for the mean-while, but religiously working on your hip mobility. Once you have the mobility, go for no heel and if you still feel more comfortable with a heeled shoe after giving no heel a good chance, go for the shoe with the heel but maintain the hip mobility.ā€

Anyone try Madcow?

225

295 box squat for 1 2 days ago. Should be hitting 315 with no box in a week or 2

226

195 x 10 today.

227

275 6x4 last squat work out. Most weight Iā€™ve ever lifted.

228

Forgot to post but just hit 330x1 deadlift so just beat that one. Up next is 315 squat, squatting tmrw so weā€™ll see.

229

I got 285x2 today. Happy with this considering I spent all yesterday playing rugby and Iā€™m pretty banged up and sore.

230

315 X 2. Really thought I was gonna smoke it, but could tell shortly into warmups I didnt have the spring I needed.

Great work guys.

Was wondering what type of programs you all are running for squats & deads.

I myself just started a cycle of Smolov for squats Monday as i felt like i need a more structured program. Will do my best to keep the log here as up to date as possible so drop on by.
Monday
Set/ Reps/ Weight
4x9x180

I will say this i am really not use to higher reps even with the lower weight.
