That’s it. Didn’t go as wide on Box squats today. I don’t want to hurt my hip 12 weeks out. That shit could ruin the whole damn thing as hip pain is brutal. Been there done that. Going to keep trying to drive my box squat numbers up though.
Reverse Hypers and hanging leg raises have been money for my low back/ SI joint.
Days off are for wimps!
Way to keep your foot on the gas all weekend Shane! Some good looking sessions. I’m glad someone does the cable hamstring curls. I can tell just by watching that video that I’ll never do those.
Going super heavy on box squat and Sumos too. Congrats on those well-earned PR’s!
Glad you’re choosing to listen to your body on the box squats. No point in doing something that you know bothers you. Way to get after it Shane!
Thanks Trent. These gym sessions are easier than my weekend Peloton rides used to be. I feel like I am actually slacking off a little. ![]()
If I have learned anything, it is to TRY to listen to my body.
I hear that. It looks like Ben Alldis just did a 120 minute power zone ride. I guess Matt isn’t the only sheriff in town now. ![]()
Tuesday GPP
Peloton
5 minute cool down ride.
Will hit some stretching later tonight.
Wanted to see how out of bicycle shape I was today. Answered that question. Not surprisingly I sucked. Cardio drops off really fast. Not really the goal right now, so I doubt I will do many more of these between now and my meet in October. After though I will try to get more of these in monthly.
Glad you were able to get some Peloton time in Shane! At least you’re getting some cardio in while you work on the powerlifting. Like you said, it falls off quickly. I’m sure you’ll be back to blazing fast speed soon after your meet. ![]()
I see the heat has not let up there too. ![]()
Thanks Trent. Yep, cardio I try to keep in regardless. ![]()
Yeah, it is stupid hot down here right now.
I hear that. I went on a walk at lunch today and changed into my gym shorts and took my shirt off. I might as well have ran an ultra marathon as much as I sweated.
Just brutal…
Yeah. It’s definitely swamp butt weather out there. I feel like need to start taking mid day showers. ![]()
