Nice squatting, I am going to work up to a heavy single tomorrow myself. Keep up on those dang front squats! They’ll serve you well. :slight_smile:

Oh, what is a body raise?

Thanks. I think the extra recovery time I’ve given myself by going to the 3 day template is paying off.

About the body raise… I dunno man. All I know is that its more than just a leg raise. At the top of the movement my body is parallel to the ground, which is pretty tough. After I’ve done a regular straight leg raise and I’m parallel, I’ll push my legs up like I’m doing a reverse crunch.

Oh, I know what that is. I just call them hanging leg raises to the chin up bar. I agree that they are much harder. :wink:

Hey, Mighty, I got a huge PR when working up to a max squat yesterday. It seems like the squat is treating both of us very well. :slight_smile:


Squats and milk for the win!

Progress looks good, hows the hockey going?

BTW, you DID warn the ladies that you’re a hockey player, right?

This hockey session didn’t start off well. After we won the championship we were told we’d have to drop our goalie and one of our skaters who gets like 2-4 goals every game. Well, my coordinator was being stubborn and told them to play anyway, so we had the first several games forfeited because of that. Now we’re 2-3 and suffered our first actual loss in like 18 games. We were shorthanded and got beat 8-2. I think we’ll be alright though and get on a winning streak again.

Yea, I tell the ladies not to make me angry or else I’ll “body check” them…lol

Press progress from when I started up again after my sickness in February.

Squat progress since April. Did box squats in March. There were a decent amount of weeks where instead of doing an AMRAP set I did the top set prilepins table style for multiple sets. Thats why some of the estimated max numbers are so low.


Deadlift progress has been shaky lately and I think I know why. I’ve spent too many weeks doing the top set prilepins style for multiple sets. Especially since I’m only doing each lift every 9 days now, I need to do an AMRAP set each time. I think that will jump start some deadlift gains again.

Bench progress has been more consistent than it was in the past. Going on the 3 day template seemed to make it jump up some last cycle.
CGFP- close grip floor press. And I had one week where I did a wider grip bench press…which sucked!

7/31 - Wednesday - Deadlift C12W1

About what I expected today. I think with going hard on the top set every session my deadlift will start gaining again. Did 360 x 8 a little while back, but this wasn’t as smooth.
