Mike - 2/8

Peaking my head in to post. I've been keeping the mon-wed-fri schedule pretty well (when not nursing snowboard injuries or away), so if any of the new faces see a black guy with crazy hair and glasses, who looks too serious while lifting, come talk to me.


Back Squat:

10x135 (no box)
8x225 " "
5x275 " "
3x305 " "
1x315 " "
3x315 (with box at ~||)
2x315 (with box < ||)
1x325 " "

All these went surprisingly well with my sore tailbone and not lifting anything close to heavy for a while. I went to the box on the heavier lifts to make sure I wasn't skimping on my depth. Lookin forward to stepping these weights up next time around.

Front Squat (no hands/arms extended, no box):
10x135
8x165
5x185
3x195
1x225

I like doing these because 1) wrist still is a little tender so oly grips hurt a bit 2) develops my oly rack 2) forces me to concentrate on keeping upright through the squat (lest I lose the bar, which Shanker witnessed nearly happen today)


All in all, I was pretty happy with this workout. It felt like the first serious lifting workout I've had in too long a time and it's a good start for getting back into shape.
