9/1
sumo deads 355x5,405x3,450x1,525x0
military 175x5,195x3,220x2,235x1
regular dead/stiff dead 240 5 sets 10 reps-
regular/stiff/reg/stiff/reg
hanging leg raises 5 sets 12 reps
525 came off the floor but not to be quite yet.
HT, I agree Wendler is the man.
Back was great today. Only really hurts when I do squats. I have come to hate squats.
You have been really squatting and DLing hard, Eco, among other movements. Can you get in a few days of rest for your lower back?

That’s a tough session ecogenx!
You’ll get that 525 next time!
Stretching and just lying on the floor for awhile and my back is usually fine. Been this way for a long time. Next week is a deload week. Always surprising that squats hurt my back while deads are fine. Must be my hip flexors are just way tight.
Nice work E!Keep hammering away and 525 will break the floor to lockout!

Or could it be tight hip extensors/Hamstrings causing you to round your back once you hit depth?
525 will fall.
skid, you’re probly right. Just gonna keep stretching.

Got up early and hit the gym. I wanted to get a lift off with 350 and 390. What a difference a lift off makes.

Me too…can’t wait for it to be released on DVD.
Eco, I’m amazed at how strong you’ve become buddy. You’re gonna tear it up at your meet.
thanks guys.
Next bench cycle will be all pause bench. How much do you guys figure I need to drop my numbers- 40lbs?

That’s ‘lift off’ as in self-propelled Saturn rocket, buddy.
You truly are Iron Man!
my belly may beg to differ Galaxie. But thank you.
Good damn liftin’. If You’ve been doing touch and goes with no bounch you shouldn’t see too drastic a lose in weight with a pause.
Thank you hel.
Very nice work!!
