Squats

Buffalo bars with chain squats: barweight of 505 and worked up two chains at a time until 10 chains per side for doubles off a box.
Pushed the prowler with 1 plate each arm for 1 lap tag teamed with Berry.
Stretched, talked for an hour about training cycles and got really stiff and sore, then went home.

I have been forgetful again

The end of the year is busy and I forget to post. Here is a brief overview...
Squats: 5 sets of 2 with 600 off a box

Bench: we used gray bands with the squat bar (massive tension) I worked up to 475 X 1 off a 3 board, and 515 X 2 off a 4 board. Just top end work

Deads: just speed and form work. Concentrating on Conventional right now to get my back stronger.

Tonights bench: floor press with fat bar: 4 sets of 2 with 385.
Incline 2 sets with 275 set of 4 and 6
decline: 315 X 2 sets of 6 and 1 set of 3
Band pushdowns: green X 4 sets of 12

I will try to be better about posting, but can't promise. Work to be done.

Logs

It has been too long since I have posted. A lot of work stuff going on and I am a little lazy too.

Bench with the squat bar and purple bands: worked up to 330 X 2 off a 2 board then added the shirt. Wanted to do some heavy top end work.
420 X 2 off 4 board
470 X 2 off 4 board
510 X 2 off 4 board
510 X 2 off 3 board
Followed it with close grip press (added the sling shot to save my shoulders a little)
330 X 5
380 X 5
420 X 3 an ugly 3 at that.

It was a good workout. First night back in a shirt since the meet and it felt good. I am probably not doing much except stretching on Wednesday to rest up a little bit. I have some knee pain I am trying to convince to go away.
