Saturday

Buff bar squats off box with chains: worked up to 325 and added chains 2 at a time until 8 or 9 chains I think. All sets of 3 except last one of 2.
Close stance KB squats: 24kg X 3 sets of 10
Pull through with band: 2 sets of 12 kinda felt a twinge in the hammy so That was it.

I wanted to do little extra cardio today but couldn't figure out what to do so i tried something new.
10 minutes of kettlebell swings straight with the 12 kilo. I alternated one arm between the legs, one arm on outside of the legs (great core work) and two handed swings. The first 5 minutes were regular swings, and after I figured out I wasn't going to die I made the last 5 minutes high swings. I highly recommend these for a fast cardio session if you are short on time. I might take next week off from anything hard....we shall see

Close stance assisted safety bar squats sets of 5 with 145, 235, 325, 415, 505.

Step mill for 40 mins after we closed up since I slept in instead of doing it in the morning.

Thursday: No "workout" to speak of, but the kettlebell unloading was good enough for me. I kept hollering GPP at stefan all day and laughing, and finally he asked me...... what is gpp? I was like dude...... after all the sled work, chain drags and prowler he doesn't know what gpp was....

get it get it......

Bench off 2 board: 315 X 5, 365 X 5, 405 X 3.5 (felt a small ripping in my left pec and got stapled) Kinda funny after the guys got it off me cause they thought I was kidding until I just let it lay on the boards.......kinda funny.....after they got it off me. The massage therapist said small tear in the medial head of the pec. Shouldn't be too bad, just give it a little time, stretch, and ice and back to normal in no time.
