That’s it. Hit some PRs. Those hack squats feel like they are helping my squat. That 3 x 355 felt strong.
I know my hamstring curls have got a lot stronger. I think max weight I was using at this gym was 110 to 125. I worked up to 170 today.

Excellent session yesterday Shane! Man, you are just crushing it! The PR’s keep rolling in and just looking super strong on all of those sets. Glad you and your son got to do some hiking too. I would love to do that with my kids one of these days.

Thanks Trent! There definitely is something to conjugate training. I just keep getting stronger.
Thanks on the hiking. We have a lot of places to hike near us.

Tried Larsen presses today. Ratio to standard bench press should be between 5 to 10 percent. 3 at 255 was about right.

Nice looking session Shane. I like Larson press. I do those sometimes for accessory work but usually just call it bench. Really solid on the incline bench. Nice PR there! Way to get after it Shane!

Thanks Trent!
I liked the Larsen press. They make you really keep your upper body tight which I can see how it would carry over to standard bench.
Going to make sure they stay in rotation.

Good job on the stairs of doom and sauna. Not sure what stretching is but sounds like it was a good meal?

Larsen Press blows my bench up when I throw it in for a couple blocks. I would definitely keep those in the rotation imo

12x600 on Deads??? I’m truly amazed man… You are moving some serious weight! Congrats on that PR. The rest of the session looked good too. Your gym might need to buy some more plates for when you come in there.

No, on leg press. If I start hitting 12 x 600 on deads, come check on me because I am dreaming.

Oh. Missed that. Still very impressive. I was thinking, “Damn! Shane might need to quit his job and start lifting full time. I’m glad I knew that dude before he was famous!”
