That’s it. Back felt good so I decided to go ahead and go for a box squat PR. Moved well. The 2 pin low rack pulls were tough. Planned to do three sets at 455 but 2 was plenty.
Heck yeah Shane! That was a massive leg day! Congrats on the box squat PR! Glad your back is feeling better!
Nice job on the Peloton and Saturday session too! I’m not gonna lie, I started laughing out loud watching the belt squat marching video. I was thinking that’s how I look when I’m trying to walk barefooted on the beach in that hot sand.
Very cool looking variation. I bet those light up your hamstrings!
Thanks Trent. Haha. Well, you need to add those belt squat marching to your program. They have to improve your hot sand cooler carrying capabilities. ![]()

Good session Shane. Nice and strong on those smith shrugs. Sled drag sounds like you need to have an ox or a tractor doing the work for you.
Way to get after it Shane! ![]()
Appreciate it Trent. Those sled drags get the heart rate up!
Ive got a Elitefts prowler… i would use the damn thing if i had a location to push it.
I am lucky that one of my gyms has a turf area that I use for the one at the gym. I have toyed with the idea of buying a sled and dragging it up here at work. Our parking lot would be perfect.

I have a really big gap between my standard competition low bar and conventional pull and my wide box squats and sumos.
I was supposed to do 290 today on speed squats and 380 on deads. No way was I wide box squatting 290 or doing sumos with 380. I did all my warm up sets with Sumos and they did feel snappier today than last time. Box squats, a long way to go there. Hips are for sure the weakness. I can standard width box squat probably almost as much as I low bar. Wide is another story.
Good looking session Shane! Very impressive sets to me, regardless of whether they are lighter than your comp lifts. I wouldn’t think there would be a huge difference between the wide box squats and comp squats but maybe I’m not thinking about it enough. Sumos, on the other hand are a no-brainer to me. I could never pull those anywhere close to what I could do conventional. It’s a totally different lift IMO. Yeah, I think you should get a sled for work. Maybe you could get the forklift driver to pull it back and forth for you. ![]()
Thanks Trent. Hopefully I will just keep working them and they will start to close the gap. ![]()
LoL at the forklift. That would be a sight to see. ![]()
