Focused some more on depth and speed again. I was sore enough after today's squatting that I felt sick after I got home and decompressed a bit. Whew!

Enjoy your Sunday, fellas!

Damn Tom. are you going to stick with that PWO?

[area51]

Charlie are you squatting 5x a week?

[icehog3]

Nice, Charlie! That's seven times a week for Charlie, Ken.

I will throw the Loaded into the mix, Ken, and decide when it's gone if I will buy another.

[swingerofbirches]

Squatting every day, Ken. Today was Day27

[area51]

I can't imagine that. Good job though. Your numbers are great.

[swingerofbirches]

Ken - at first the concept seemed kinda crazy to me too but at this point I'm honestly wondering how I'll do when I peddle back. Ive really enjoyed squatting before every lift (and before cardio on weekends) ... I feel like it puts me in an awesome mindset and physical setup for my supplementary lifts. It may just be my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel like I've made progress everywhere this past month, not just my squats.

You should give it a shot and see how you like it!

[swingerofbirches]

Talk to me about Good Mornings. Anyone on here do em with regularity?

This breaks everything I know about working out but, if it's working for you then continue it. I would give it a go but due to having to run 3x a week (Thanks Army) I need the rest time.

[Adriftpanda]

Squats 3x8
Partial hack squats 4x12
Seated leg curls 4x12

[Sancho]

Quick lunch lift today. Rack was full with gym couple. Grr.

ISO push press SS with ISO lay pulls
Push 5x6
Pulls 5x8

Some work for my old elbow injury with a db. Felt ridiculous but this is best my arm has felt in a while.

Finished with some deads but my grip was failing at 275 so I backed down. I blame the elbow work preceding the deads. Should've hit somewhere north of 340 on the big lift.

135,225,275,135x5

[Sancho]

Doubled.

[icehog3]

Good work, Tom! Get it, Chris!

I hear ya, Ken ... it was a bit of a head scratcher at first but it's really been working well. There have been times when I thought that I was too gassed or that I was too sore but i've always managed to push through. It's also important to note that the point isn't to PR every day ... just to make sure that you touch the bar. If that's just one squat; touch the bar.

[Adriftpanda]

Had to go out and buy a a wrist wrap for my right wrist. Been kind of funky.

You're a squatting monster, Charlie!

Had a day off from the gym but a late hockey game tonight. Back to the iron manana.

[swingerofbirches]

Thx Tom! Today will be a rly light day tho as I tweeked my knee at HIIT last night and there's some definite inflammation going on in there. :/

Get that hockey. Go Hawks!
