315x2
405x2
495x1
560x nada I missed this one becuase I was lifting in jeans and my riding boots. I decided at the last minute to ride the bike to the gym. As I was driving with the legs, my feet slipped out and I missed it.
405x12

decline
495x10
405x15 paused
315x27 paused

Do you guys consider rack pull with fat bar done in a 5x5 manner to be a good supplemental after DE squat?

Thanks Jon

Sure Rack pulls any lower day are a good viable choice

Higher rep rack pulls on DE day is actually a really good idea. I think I’m going to give it a shot. Rotate it with speed pulls and GMs.

Did the rack pull 2 inch below knee with the fat bar 5x475x5. OMFG i’M sore as hell in the traps/neck area huh
Love this

I have a dyna but I needed something bigger to fit my big ass- so I bought a Road King. I don’t feel like the elephant on the unicycle now.

hopefully ME squat/dead tomorrow will be better.

meat

ME squat/dl

sumo dead off matts
1kg = approx 2.2 lbs
10@bar
5@40
3@60
1@80
3@95
3@97,5
2@100
1@100

the 100 kilos definately didn’t wanna go up…

bulgarian squats

3 sets @ approx 20 kilos

GM’s

2x6@60
2x8@60

shrugs

3x approx 20 reps + holding the DBs

changed for bulgarian squat instead of step ups, can’t do the step ups without cheating.

will do GM’s with the bar only next time, and do them for reps–>need to gt a good form on these

ate some beef (how is it possible to be vegetarian???) and went out making cocktails for my friends.

Randomly sick out of nowhere. Going to take the rest of my deload week off probably.

Met George Foreman today and he called me “Hercules” haha. Nice guy, seems really gentle and pretty timid.

ME Squat/DL Dec 1st 2006

Zercher DL with Fat bar bar 12? from ground
Bar x ton
135 x5
225 x 3
275 x 1
315 x miss
275 x 1, 1.5
WOW ok first time doing these tried going to the floor and my long limbed non flexible butt couldn?t get my elbows that low. Had to jack it up a bit to bar at 12" which was still DAMN low.
These were very humbling missed the 315 moved it but just couldn?t get out of the hole seeing stars So I know I tried damn it.
Then nailed a few more solid 275?s and the last one was very good so went for a double just didn?t get it. Call 275 a PR and where to build from. Prob should have nailed a 285 or 295 but hey.

At this point the I made the decision to go pretty heavy after seeing stars pulling on friggin 315. So hadn?t pulled sumo in about 6 weeks wanted to hit a Nice solid 90% pull just to prove and make sure I wasn?t losing anything. Pull were very solid even after doing the zerchers went up EASY

Sumo DL
405 x 1
495 x 1
585 x 1
No PR attempt but happy with how easy they moved. try a PR in a few weeks maybe

High pin partial squats, shoulder stance, pin 12
405 x 3
495 x 1
585 x 1 easy
685 x miss, miss
585 x 1 easy
Dropped the pin from last time 2 inches lower this time just couldn?t get the 685 up after the pause got it moving but fell flat.

Positive note the walk out and eccentric were VERY solid, tight, and felt great compared to last time. Will stay at this pin until I nail the 685 and move down again.

Front Squat
135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 2
405 x 1 solid
225 x 20
I guess we?ll call the 405 a PR as I havent went for a single on front squats in a LONG time I know I had more today even being burnt. Then the 225 felt like candy for the 20. Stopped there figuring I did ENOUGH!!!

Reverse Hyper (high volume light load)
20 x ton x 3set
These were good LOL

Decline situps
70lbs x 4 sets ( 2-35 lb plates on shoulders)

Really good w/o everything felt good. The new zerchers will need work, that?s cool think they will help. Had the solid 90%+ range Sumo pull, rack walk outs went good wish Id have nailed the 685 but hey another day then the front squats. Seems im getting stronger the food/weight is paying off. The past two days of rest helped.

Till next time

ME Upper

Low Pin Press: This is about 3-4 with flat back, but I’ve improved my arch and it was only about 1" off the chest.
Bar x bunch
135x8 These were all the way to the chest
225x5
315x1
335x1
340x1 PR
345x1 PR
350x Miss Couldn’t get it started

High Pin Press ~6" ROM
365x2
Wraps
390x1 PR
395x1 PR
405x1 PR

405 was too tempting not to take a crack at. I’m pretty sure I had only done 335 off of the low pin before.

I think I’ve got a big bench coming up. The 345 was about an inch higher than my chest but was from a dead stop.

Chest Supported T-Bar
90x10
115x10
135x7
90x10

I hate this but will do them for a few more sessions.

Face Pull
70x10
80x10
80x8
70x10

DB Benhc
80’s x 18, 10

External Rotations

Good workout, moving 405 was exciting.

Actually, this “fitness-oriented” restaraunt chain that’s been popping up in a lot of new places. It’s called Knowfat. They have food and supplements…the food’s pretty damn good. Foreman was filming something for a reality show that he apparently has.
