I got a new video camera for my birthday so you’ll all be subjected to a long boring compilation video.
Today was the last raw day before the next phase:
Deficit DL
135 sumo - felt like poop and was pulling in my left adductor so switched to Conv.
185-3
200-5x6
Good mornings
155-3x10
Band assisted Ghetto GHR - these are killer and look pretty stupid on video but have lead to many moments of sassy hilarity and ass poking when we both do them.
3x25
Shrugs
155-2x20
225-15
Push ups
41
Hyper managing kids and homework: the remainder of the evening.
We went pretty fast with this; not much rest. I had to pick the girls up at youth group so we had to push through, clippity clop
My older daughter just got her drivers license so the next while should be exciting. The good thing is I don’t have to get up early to take her to church on Sunday. I’m such a heathen.
We celebrated by going on google translate and listening to “Olivia smells like farts” in multiple languages. It’s never boring.
Deadlift
suit bottoms/no belt
I’m really trying to focus on staying up right, sitting back and pushing out with my feet
135-5
225-3
275-4x3
Watching the video made me realize I need my roots touched up
Box squats - suit bottoms/no belt
We decided to use suit bottoms and this was the first time I’ve done them other than raw. It took a while to set up the right height. At first the box was too low to get down to at the wide stance I wanted to use as a DL assistance. We ended up stacking crap to a 14" height which still takes me just at/below parallel.
135-3
205-3
225-5x3
CG Incline bench
bar-10
65-6
85-2,3
75-5x6
This was hard to figure out. I’ve never done them and the groove felt very weird, like it was going to dump in front of me.
oh fuck. snatch grip deads…I have to try those in 2 weeks for this shoulder program I’m doing and I’m NOT looking forward to them. I’ll make sure I come back and watch your murder them again to get me all excited!

I like the look of those snatch grip deads too. What do they work?
Maybe I’ll try in a few weeks, very light to test the shoulder.
suited (bottoms) box squats look good, keep working on keeping those knees out.

Snatch grip are supposed to be awesome for the snatch. haha. Actually upper back mostly but also glute/hamstring if you stiff leg them like I did. I find them tough mostly due to grip. I’ve gone to 205 before using straps.

and then return here after I fail and feel worse![/quote]
The worst part of them is the grip. I’ve done them with straps and no shame whatsoever
