The Official: Post a workout thread

any reason you hit your hams hard yesterday and today?

Nah. I wasn't even sore when I woke up actually. I will be after today's though!

Sumo deads were more hip flexors. They were seriously awful. Probably the hardest in the whole workout

Lunch via girlfriend

Just threw a bunch of sheit together cause I have stuff to do all weekend so I did legs n shoulders.

Front squat
5x5
Superset Arnold press 3x8

Leg press 3x8
Superset with hang cleans 5x5

Leg extension 3x10
Superset bb shrug 3x10

Bike 20 minutes on hill setting. That BLEW up my legs lol, talk about a pump!!!
Weird workout

ughhhh

-3x5 Front Squats
-3x5 Pause Back Squats
-Attempt my Sept 2013 goal of a 300lb back squat (I'm expecting to fail but just want to get a feel for the weight) Hopefully I don't i injure myself.
-3x5 Bench Press

-5 rounds
8 30lb Dumbbell Thrusters

Make sure you do a legit warmup! Why don't you go for the max back squat first, before you get fatigued?

I always feel like I am ok to pump out at least one heavy rep after my leg workout. If they were higher rep sets I'd be more fatigued. I still may just do a set or two of the pause back squats then jump in.

decent workout today.

started with:

power snatch: 155LB: 5x5
superset
20LB wall balls: 21-15-9-6-3

tried to establish a 3 rep max for backsquats, though i didnt get there i had a good workout. inbetween each set (after 265) i did 10 burpees

265-295-315-335-355-365-375

my backsquat is pretty weak compared to my front squat as i dont back squat as much.

mixed in some bench.sets of 2. dont forget, i really NEVER bench. haha

155-195-215-225-235-245-255 (PR i guess)

I'd like to see a video of your back squat form Jeremy. I'm curious whether or not you go deeper than I do. I go right to - or just a tad below - parallel. I don't generally go ass-to-grass on the back squat.

Me either. Ill take video of my 300lb attempt tonight. There's a good chance I will unrack it, go down and just leave it on the pins lol

When I go below parallel on a front squat, it feels like its a good thing to do (stretch/pain wise). I feel the exact opposite on a back squat, just feels wrong to me.

I've done that before. I laughed at myself.

I'm finally working back up to a respectable number again. I hadn't done over 400 lbs. in a very long time, and I recently squatted 405 lbs. (.2 x 5 reps) with relative ease. I'm trying to get back to my '07 numbers.

Ill take a video. I've been over 400 though. I'd say my 1rm is about 390-395 now

Skipped tonight's workout. Got a bad case of the sh1ts right when I got home and didn't want to risk it. Today's workout moved to tomorrow and tomorrow's to Saturday.

Why didn't you just poop then workout?

I did but the feeling wouldn't go away and I pooped again shortly after. Not a good combo with the squats.

We squat until we poop, around here.
