ME Lower day for RE
Dynamic warmup-mostly rolling, some mobility and movement work, hip flexor and 90/ 90 stretches
Hang clean: didn't go quite as planned as RE's wrist was bothering her a bit preventing her from holding the bar as she should. Took 82x3, 92x3 and 102x1.
Deadlift: snatch grip 89x5, 109x3, 133x3, 153x3, switched to alternate grip 182x1 (broke old PR of 177), 202x1, 212x1 (!) Very nice lift with a bit still left in the tank. Technique was as nice as one could ask for.
Bulgarain split-squat: 3x12
45* Reverse hyper w/ strap: 4x8/ 90, 140, 170, 190 (!)
Abs: hanging leg raises 3x8, DB crunches on S-ball 3x10/ 40, 50, 55, Vacuums 4x10 seconds ea.
Today's training took a little longer than usual because we took our time with the deads. Blew through supplemental and assistance work in less than 20 minutes. RE is pulling one-and-one-half times her bodyweight now and doing it without much effort. Not many guys can do that! She raised a few eyebrows with the 212. Not to mention the 190-pound reverse hypers. To quote Mike Boyle, one of the ways to keep a female athlete healthy is to get her "brutally strong in the posterior chain." RE is well on her way.
Today I ran into another ball player I trained last summer. She is home from college for the next several weeks. I invited her to come in and train again, providing we can get our schedules together. All in all, another good day!
Stay strong,
Ed T.
