Wednesday squat/pull thursday bench

Felt pretty good leading into this.

Front squat
225,275,315,365,405
-went into the hole harder, I think it threw me off a bit, but the 405 went up good. I think I just need to do as many singles with 365 as I can, and when I get comfy, I'll be good for 435-445 I think.

Deadlift standing on box
405 3x3
475 3x1
-no belt, really like this, but I do find them very hard, I look forward to getting good at them, Evan Dunn recomended 3x a week pulling, and I'm looking forward to it. The 475 no belt was pretty hard, kept a a static arch well, but I was rounded over. I'll be working to get 5 sets of 3 with this weight with perfect form, right now it's not the best. Next is block pulls... something Else I kind of suck at.

Paul gave me good advice to change things up, and I really like training like this, I don't have to get fired up to hit weights, the pulls are just work, and timing, the pulls on a box were crazy hard, more just holding my form.

Thursday

Bench with 45lbs chains
245 for 7 sets of 5 reps

Pretty happy, felt easier than tuesday bench, I was dying on those.

Neutral grip pull downs
100 20x3
-got all my reps, so moving the weight up.

External rotations on cable machine.
-Now 3 pins down for difficult sets of 8
- really want to even these out, but also switch to dumbells soon. I always mean to get around to these, but they're just something I've gotta stick with.

Feeling good, looking forward to tomorrow, and really looking forward to next week.. I but I may vary the intensities for a bit, I'm not feeling the greatest, but feeling a lot better than a few weeks ago.
