I’m assuming that’s running on the treadmill?
That and four prowler sessions a week?
Man you’re a glutton for punishment.
Hi, Coach!
Following and excited for you to start your new program!
Monday-

BTN seated work sets 155x5x5
Dips - work sets +45 5x5 1x15 (bweight)
WALKED on treadmill 15 mins

This template that we are going to follow is going tobe a wild ride!
Sorry - start at 3 lifting sessions a week and slowly bring in a 4th day.
15 min treadmill walk.
BURNS-
Rack pulls from right below kneecap shrug at top of movement 225x30,20,15 and 15. After first set resting only 20 seconds
! arm rows 70x25, 16 and 14 --same deal as above (both arms)
Straight arm pullovers 62.5x20,20,17 and 11

Stiff leg deadlift 135x10,185x8 205x10x2.

Good workout, I was pleased that I hit 415 considering I have not gone over 350 in about 10 months. (back issues)
So I guess all those T-handle swings are doing something --I felt zero pain in lower back sqauting for the first time in about 15 years!

Yeah, we noticed. hahaha!
Seriously, though, glad to see you moving a lot of heavy weight with no pain on this new program!
Have to say the T-Handle swings are definitely doing something for me too. My lower back is more stable and strong, my shoulders are stronger and have better range of motion, and my hams and posterior have strengthened and are more ready to fire with the swings.
Nice box work and benching too.

What is the ‘trigger’ for when you add your belt?

When I start to “brace” myself for any forward lean on the weight is when I add a belt–make sense?
Usually happens to me around 275-325. I need to stay upright or my lower back starts to scream!
Pause squats to paralell-(1 second ) 135x5x2,185x3,225x3x3,275x3,315x3, 365x3x3 then 225x2x5 then 135x2x3 jumps
Stiff leg deadlifts worked up to 275x6
Seated-Calf press 2plates+25 30 partials then 30 reps x4 sets.
The 225x2x5 are 5 sets of 2
My numbers are weight/reps/sets.

Just reading this workout made my shoulders and elbows sting.
Effing hate pin presses…got to do em this week…yuck
Nice work brother!
Beautiful weather today–its 60 outside as of 9:00 am!!!
So earlier I did some sprints (lightly up to 75% of top speed for 5 passes)
Realized I need to start working on agility and speed again as I felt old and slow…
Bweight : Birthday suit on “scale” at home 223.
will start to ramp up the conditioning and speed work slowly.
Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts.
