Training Log: Entry 1821


(10) Chain Suspended Safety Squat Bar Squats (powerlifting legal depth)
1x3x425+chains
1x10x335+chains

Notes: First time in a while I've been able to run a whole cycle all the way to the end while still starting from the bottom the whole time. Drive off the chains is really strong, credit it to that back off set. Contemplating sticking with this implement for the next cycle or switching to front squats. Tossing around a few ideas.


Log cleans
Worked up to 200lbs for quick triples

Notes: Trying to improve/refine technique. Tried the 2 motion clean (lapping and then driving) and it requires less energy but I couldn't get my hands/elbows where I wanted. Will keep practicing, but the heavy work was all 1 motion. Since this is a timed event, may as well get good at being fast.


Car deadlift simulator drop set
10x5 plates+chains
10x4 plates+chains
5x3 plates+chains
6x2 plates+chains
6x1 plate+chains

Notes: Chains made a big difference, easy way to add on weight without increasing distance of plates. Chains kept ending up under the plates though, screwing up pick up, but not the biggest of deals. Was going to do plates in front initially, but if I can keep the mechanics similar to the event I want to try for that.
