Training Log: Entry 514

DE lower body

Speed box squats of 205
10x2

Notes: Started getting better explosion from the bottom by rolling me elbows under the bar, keeping the arch tight, and rocking forward a little.  Still a major stall from the bottom, but making some progress.

Assisted pistols
3x8

Notes: Required very little assistance on the way up, just balance.  Pushing very hard through my heels, actually raised my toes off the ground to emphasize.  Gaining strength in the quads.

Good mornings of 205
6,6,5,6

Notes: Weight felt very light, great assistance work.  Knees buckled on the 4th rep of 3rd set, gotta watch that.

  1. I hope you're making plenty of noise on these so the neighborhood kids don't wonder what happened to you.

  2. are pistols kind of like one leg squats with one leg on a bench or something?

  3. They're supposed to be done without assistance of any kind, but I hold onto the edge of the power rack to keep from falling on my ass.
