ME Lower

4-8-11 (Friday)
No 4-Board today
Usual warm-up incl. 2x15 OH crunches and 2x20 Band good morning (light band)
A. Box squat-parallel box-worked up to 315x2, added Metal Squatter w/ straps down and belt 355x2 x7 sets w/ <60 sec. rest

B. Deadlifts with Fat Bar-conventional-worked up to a PM (percieved max) of 475x1 after an easy 405x1 then did 335x2, 355x2, 365x2 (70-75-77 percents of 475)

C. Staright-leg deadlifts on a 4-inch box 185x6 x3 sets
D1. Hanging leg raises 2x failure (25+19)
D2. Lying leg curls 2x20, 15/ 60, 65
D3. Reverse hyper 3x15 (with long belt and wide feet) 90, 180, 270
D4. Paloff Press Iso-hold 3x3 w/ 10 sec. hold per side

The squats felt awkward and I just couldn't get my groove until maybe the last set. The pulls were easy. The Fat Bar feels like it puts a little more weight "out front" but it wasn't anything unbearable. I was pleased that my grip didn't offer me any problems. I just had to remind myself to pull into my body "harder" and the weight came right up. (Like a big ol' teeter-tooter).

Stay strong,
Ed T.
