Here's a 4" block pull from today. I started to trim the video, then decided against. What does grip the floor like a monkey and "corkscrew" mean? This setup shows you it's basically locking in from the floor up. Anchor in first, then grip the floor with your foot. #grip no matter #hand or #foot is essential. Nothing is casual or relaxed. . . . #inzer #inzeradvancedesigns #tentwentylife #1020life #1020L #fitness #buildingstrength #strengthprograms #prs #powerlifting #captainjacked #teamPRS #seminars #PowerRackStrength #SDP #nubreed #magnum #strengthtraining #equipped #bench #squat #dead . . .

This was my first real day back, so I took a last warm-up straight weight and a reverse band opener. It went OK. Deads felt very good.

Normal Warm-up

Squat
All singles
Predator briefs
625
725
added LUP
825
935 – last warm-up
1025 – opener (reverse band)

Deadlift – 4″ block pull
405×2
500×2
585×2
675×2
725×1 – around an opener

Leg press: 4×8
Stir the pot: 50

Pretty solid day with gym atmosphere pretty ideal. None of the weights felt heavy they just didn’t move quite as fast as I had hoped. But I’ll get better in the coming weeks.

I’m back to doing leg presses 2x per week, but light and in a ‘piston’ fashion, keeping tension on the quads. These carry over to my squat very well.

I’m looking forward to putting some good training together over the next 4 weeks. Bench press is tonight. I’ll update more tomorrow/wed.
