That is something to be proud of. 400+ for squats is a legit number. People these days love pulling big numbers but few seem to want to put a bar on their back and take it for a ride.

I have 3 triples this Sat or Sun for Squats. I'm thinking I'll go 435-445. Taking it nice and slow to let my groin get better and better. I'm even toying with just squatting 1x a week to let it heal quicker.[/QUOTE

Haha True. But I train alone and IF I miss on a heavy dead its not the end of the world but walking out with that heavy load on your back and not being able to get it back up is a scary feeling...

It is scary but that's what makes it even more thrilling.... taking that bar for a ride and seeing what happens.

My back was not having it today. It was tight, fatigued, and a yelling at me today so I dropped the front squats and put z-press in instead of standing push press. Still not a bad day considering I just pulled heavy volume yesterday. Since I'm pulling 2x week, I'll be putting in prowler sled on Wed and taking out farmers. I'll put farmers in my Sat training.

How much of the chain weight is on the floor when you're at the bottom?

Almost all of the chain is on the floor when I'm in the hole. Really only the connecting chain is still off the ground but that's it. The main chains (2 big + 1 small) only come up half way to the bar when I'm standing with the bar on my back. There attached to a connecting chain that attaches to the bar. When I deadlift, I just drape the chains over the bar but when I squat or bench I use a connecting chain.

Not to shabby. I had jury duty on Monday and was there for 12 hours. I did what needed to be done not to be placed on the jury. Cut my workout a bit short because I'll train tomorrow. I squat tomorrow so I gave myself 1min in between sets on speed pulls and cut it by 1 set.

Had to tone it down a bit b/c I could feel my groin a bit... not painful but lets be honest, squatting the day after deadlifting isn't the greatest idea but I still managed to get it done and hit my numbers. Left elbow also felt a bit off so dropped my top set of z-presses and added a f.drop set.

Wow... this training is kicking my ass. Pulling 2x a week, even with the weights being light, really takes a toll. My hamstrings are sore a fvck today. Shoulder was also feeling henky so I took it easy on presses today. Weather is shit so I didn't get to perform D. Thompson hangs.

Solid day of training. Deadlifts felt good and I didn't feel my groin at all... which is a good sign. I'm going to wait till Thurs to train again to give my groin the rest it needs from deadlifting.

SS was using the axle so I wasn't able to use it for CGBP. I gotta say I'm ready to use the axle more and more since I've been using the Swiss bar for so long. I used the Swiss bar today. I may opt to buy another axle so we don't have to share (besides it's only $50 w/ shipping).

Interesting... I took an extra day off b/c SS wasn't feeling well. The extra day paid off. My groin felt good when squatting today. I miss counted the first set of the final set so I kept it at 4 reps. I didn't break out the belt and I started to use more weight in Oly front squats. I'll slowly push it for the next 6 weeks or so and see how it goes. I killed it today on Z-Press... ending it on a high note. It's time to sub it out though b/c I'm beginning to stall on the.

My squat warm ups are: Hip circle walks; forward, backward, and lateral (I use M. Bell's black hip circle). Goblet squat w/ 10kg plate and still wearing the hip circle. Glute Bridges done with bodyweight and really flexing at the top. I usually do a couple sets of each 12-15 reps.

Trained yesterday, today, and I'll train tomorrow. Gotta admit, I wasn't feeling it today so I changed it a bit but still got done what needed to be done. Dropped paused pin press and put rolling triceps extensions in it's place. I'm happy I went in but training late evening on a weekend blows ass if you ask me. but it beats skipping the training.
