Bench Press
220 x 5, 240 x 5, 265 x 5, 285 x 5, 310 x 3
Meadows Row
90 x 10, 90 x 20, 100 x 20, 100 x 10
All lifts seem to be back to scratch bar hip hinging movements. Going to ease on these until I can deadlift 440 comfortable before moving on from recovery phase to a ramping phase where I will turn up the volume and begin to add in some speed work. Hip/lower back has been great. Zero pain and after my basketball game on Thursday night my ankles seem to be holding up. Bodyweight has shot up 10 lbs and I am sitting close to 250 at the moment. Waist has sucked in a little and I am feeling very mobile again.

Next week will be a major change up in exercise programming. Will be moving toward the next training phase which should only be a few weeks out provided my hip holds up as it has the past 3 weeks. Another bump in the road will be that I may be going in for surgery on the finger I put the drill through. As the nail has grown it is starting to cut into the flesh causing flare ups and a nasty little infection. Will be requesting full removal of the nail if my doctor can't save the full nail.

This is the first time I have done these and I think these will be a staple. I'd love to try these with a thick bar. My parents have a few lying around on their property so I might grab a 2 inch steel pipe and use that.
Place your feet up on a bench or something similar and pull yourself up to the bar while in a pull up position. You are essentially reducing the load and you get more stability throughout the movement which provides a more focused contraction.

Box Squat
220 x 5, 265 x 5, 310 x 5, 330 x 2, 350 x 2, 365 x 2
Had a long drive the day before which funkied up my hip a little. Got this nice little session in and nailed 170kg (365 lbs) easy for a double. Deadlifts will be in the mix next session.
