Training Log: Entry 538
DE lowerbody
Speed low box squats of 185
10x2
Notes: Took a 35lb plate off of my stack to get well below parallel. Dumped the first set, because I lost control on the way down. Real murder on my hips, gonna be good for my flexibility.
BB split squats of 135
10,9,8
Notes: I hate unilateral work so much. Gassed and diet.
Below the knee rack pulls from the #2 hole of 405lbs
4x6
Notes: Holy crap, this sucked. I might be retiring from these just out of fear of destroying my power rack. Did a good job of keeping my arch.
I think I've torn my left glute ham connector. It really has been killing me. Might need to take some time off, or get some message or something.
you know, if you want to venture down the dark side of gear and powerlifting, you might want to look into getting an old pair of briefs or one of a looser/stretchier material. I generally feel the low stuff on the front of my hips almost in line with my femur. But when i lift in the briefs.... nothing. They do give a little of support at the bottom, but i can squat down to a catchers position in them with no weight, so its not too much. But whatever thay do, they definately take care of your hips. on your glute/ass tear thingy - did this happen today with the lower box?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that if my hips really start bugging me, I'll invest in some briefs. As it stands, I don't feel pain, just stiffness, so this might be beneficial just for the sake of my flexibility.
ReplyDeleteAs for the tear, it's been bugging me for a while, just been really bad this week. Gonna try some stretching.
