Don’t forget double posts. 
Wednesday July 21 Garage
Warm up mobility
Squat
45x2x10
95x5
135x2x5
165x3
195x1 - belt
225x3 - suit on straps down
235x3 - "
245x3x6 - "
I videoed all the straps down sets and will link them shortly. A few of them were high particularly in the first set of 225 when I was mostly seating the suit. I will be doing these once a week. I’m going to try adding 10lbs/week but will drop one set. Therefore next week should look like 235, 245, 255x5 sets. We’ll see. I found this tough but it was mostly the volume at heavier weights. It also tore the shit out of my legs in the suit. Saturday will be straps up/wraps heavy singles.
Bench
24x10
65x5
95x3x8
Rack pulls
225x3
245x3
265x3
285x3
305x3
315x3x3
This will be the same as squats; adding weight and dropping sets. I ripped the shit out of my hands on this one. I completely tore off a callous on my right hand and got a blood blister on my left. I didn’t realise I had skin shreds hanging off until I’d finished the last set. I think I’m still pissed off over Saturday.

Thanks D but I don’t know. I think a lot of the squats are high. I’m having a much tougher time getting deep with a wider stance and need to push down harder to get there. I was going to squat raw tomorrow night but I may do a repeat of last night. I sent an email to my training partner/coach/advisor. He thinks they’re high(ish) but it could be the camera angle. I think they’re just high.
nice training.
Nice work OB_s…
Nice pulling and fine squatting -
PS your daughter is rugged, does she do gymnastics she is strong.

Some are high, yes, but it is hard to tell with the angle. I did notice the stance and personally I cannot make depth squatting like that, or it is really close and hard to call. I tried for about a month and said fuck it, went back to my old stance and it’s working for me. The drawback of course is not letting the weight come forward on me, but I’m working the shit out of my back and core to help with that issue. Why’d you switch anyways, to the wider stance?

I switched because I can put up more weight like that (assuming I can hit depth). Because my legs are so long in relation to my body there seemed to be way to much lateral movement of the bar. I can get a much straighter squat like that. The motion is more up and down so the bar doesn’t have to travel as far. I can hit depth. I just need to focus on it. I need more time under the bar in gear so it becomes automatic. It takes a lot of warming up and hip work but I prefer it over my old stance.
Ya, I know what you mean, I just can’t seem to get depth that way. Works better with my legs in the way, particularly in the suit. The bar does move better in a wide stance though for sure. Long legs and arms make squattin’ a bitch, but sure helps for the deadlifts!
All of this is MHO, so feel free to tell me to fuck off.
squats-> yes, they’re high. switching to wide stance will do that for a lot of people. it requires a lot more hip and glute flexibility, warm ups, mobility drills, foam rolling, etc. your last set looked to be your deepest.
I notice your knees consistently caving in on the way up. drive your knees out, push through your heels, and squeeze the hell out of your ass. it’s tempting to let them cave a little bit, but detrimental in the long run. and with the ridiculously heavy weight you’re pushing, maybe not so long.
you’re throwing your head back on the way down, this one is hard to tell bc you’re wearing so much black, but possibly in an attempt to keep your chest out and shoulders tight. you should have your chest up and shoulders tightly squeezed for the entire rep. try picking a point on the floor about 10 feet in front of you and burning a hole through it with your eyes. it’s a good idea to keep your entire spine (C, T, and L) in alignment with that much weight on it.
on a good note, there isnt so much of the squatmorningness.
rack pulls-> I want to know what’s on your ceiling. you can help your squat depth a wee bit by pulling your butt down farther before each lift, starting with your arms taut, and focusing on bringing your hips forward rather than pulling up. pretty stellar that you continued after injury. glad im far enough away that i won’t meet u in the street after dark. crosses fingers
Olivia’s chins-> there are thousands of women who have been training for years that cant do 10 of those chinups. please tell her exactly how fantastic she is. I hope she keeps it up. does she have any interest in lifting?
oh yeah. I like the glasses.

I hear you on the flexibility and mobility. I spend quite a while doing lower body mobility before I start then I have to do a lot of warm up sets before I go heavy. I can hit depth. I just have to think more about it versus my previous stance where it was natural and didn’t require a lot of thought. There is more speed and force required just to get my ass low. The upside is that it provides its’ own rebound out of the hole almost like pushing against a suit.
I’m doing suit down reps again tonight at the gym and taping them from the side to get a better idea of depth.
Nice rack pulls, your progress so far is amazing.
o_s-- you’re doing great over here.

I ripped my right hand open again on these and got blood all over the bar. I washed it off though.

I taped this from the side and will post the link when it’s loaded. In every set the first rep is high/borderline and the other two are not bad. It’s almost like I need to do the first rep to get a feel for it again. Too bad that doesn’t work at a meet. I have to keep at it.

On Saturday my training friend/coach/advisor will be coming down and we are either training at my place or GL and I’ll be doing heavy singles in full gear. I’m going to try to tape them. I may be taping some yelling because he said he won’t pull any punches which is great because I won’t get better getting my ego stroked.
I’ll stroke your ego if you stroke my Id.
Nice work…
Squats sound good.
I want to do some high pulls or cleans soon.
three weeks left.
do you need a pumice stone?
got to groom those callouses girl
