Training Log: Entry 1185

(7) Box squat 475
1x5

Notes: 475 felt light, great sensation.  Going to continue with my ROM progression down to 4 mats and see how the hamstring is feeling.

Reverse band squats 225
10,10,10,10,20

Notes: Still rehabbing and taking it light.

RCSU+45
5x6

Neck harness w/25lbs
1x25

Notes: Keep fucking up my neck in training, going to see if I can make it stronger.

Press
3x145
3x165
8x185

Notes: Grinder on the final rep of 185, but I'll take it.  2 rep PR over the last time I did this weight.  Love this progress.

Fat Gripz press 105
5x10

Notes: Still using a false grip.  Somehow still very challenging at a light weight.

DB rows 245
3x5

Notes: Form is hideous, but it's doing what I want.  I may reset down to 225 just to avoid hamstring strain.

135
1x25
4x8

GB hammer curls
50

Push downs
50

(7) Mat pulls 585
1x3

Notes: Was fighting the 4th one, but still wanting to not strain my hamstring too much.  I tried a 610lb deadlift yesterday, and though I broke it off the floor, I had no upper back strength and just folded over.  Heavy mat pulls should fix this, so back to what works.

(4) SSB box squat 265+chains
1x20

Notes: New programming strategy.  Still want to squat twice a week, want to keep volume low on my hamstring in the bottom of the squat position, and want to still cruch my upperback and spirit.  The "deathsquat" does a great job of fulfilling this.  1 set of 20 each time.

GHR
5x20

Notes: Great pump, no hamstring pain.

Blast strap fall outs
5x25

Training Log: Entry 1182

Bench
5x205
5x235
13x270
4x10x225
1x6x225

Notes: Bench is still nuts, think I'm finally breaking some plats. Helps my bodyweight has been up. Going to go for 195 with fat grips for my next cycle.

Fat grip pull ups
30
5x6

Notes: Going to see if these help my tendonitis

Chin ups
5x11

Grenade ball hammer curls
45

Pushdowns
50

Notes: My arms were exploding through out the workout. Could barely grip the bar to bench due to having so much blood in my arms. Crazy pump, hopefully will aid my tendonitis.

Deatsquat 245+chains
21 reps

Notes: Out of my element.  Next time, don't wear a belt.  Thankfully, hamstring feels fine.

Bodyweight squats
50

GHR
20

RCSU
30

Notes: Single set day, just to keep up the rehab.  Hamstring is really coming along.

Training Log: Entry 1180

Press
5x135
5x155
9x175

Notes: Training first thing in the morning, with minimal food.  Not the greatest showing, but still decent.

Swiss bar press 160
8,8,8,5,7

Notes: Definitely time to change movements.  The weight on this was getting pretty silly anyway.  Either going fat gripz press or just press.

DB rows 240
3x5

of 130
23
5x8

Notes: Still no sign of stopping.

Grenade ball hammer curls
40

Notes: Making these more difficult by having the chain hook facing outward instead of down.

Rehab

Circuit of bodyweight squats, GHRs and KB swings.

3x20/10/10
1x10/5/5

No rest between sets

1x20/10/10

Notes: This really hit my quads and lower back pretty good, and my ROM on BW squats got lower and lower as I went.  Hamstring is feeling healthy rather than injured after this, which is positive.  Just trying to promote a lot of bloodflow.

Supersets of blast strap fallouts and squats of the barbell+chains

25/20
20/20
20/20
20/20
20/20+10 without chains

Notes: Have to take the squats slow and then I'll be fine.  Toward the end I had full ROM.
