Justin- Football

So aside from the normal circuit-y stuff, we did testing today for squat. Coach said pick a weight you think you can get 3-4 times, but he was going to cut us off at 4. I put 325 on the bar, because I never really progressed after doing 315x5. Anyhow, I smashed it. He cut me off after 4, but it felt like an RPE of -2. Hopefully this means good things to come in the future.

    Also, do you guys know of any good posterior chain assistance exercises besides GHR's?

    Hey, just thought I'd throw my two cents in here... Since you're training for football, I'd take a look at The Thinker's (James Smith) stuff at Elitefts and his web site http://www.powerdevelopmentinc.com/

    He's one of a handful of people I'd actually listen to about football training.

    Ah, thanks. I visit EFS pretty regularly and had heard of Thinker, but had never gotten around to checking his stuff out. Most of my time goes into reading Wendler's stuff :p
