06 Jul First Squats in the Leviathan Ultra Pro 8 Weeks Out!

Time to kick things into high gear! Body is finally letting me train a little bit, and the strength is there. I am currently in Inzer gear and it is really paying off! This week was week 1 in the new Leviathan Ultra Pro. First impression is that I am a big fan. I have it paired currently with a 2 ply grid stitch predator. I am wearing the predators pretty tight, and really feel the stop and pop from them in the hole.

Squats:
5×5@bar
2×3@155
2×3@245
1×1@335
1×1@445
briefs
1×1@535
1×1@625
suit on light straps
1×1@800
1×1@915

Deadlifts
1×1@245
1×1@335
1×1@425
1×1@515

So I did the pulls still wearing the same squat set up and really liked it. I will continue to try and pull in the Leviathan Ultra Pro and see how it goes. I never really cranked down on the suit for the squats or pulls. Next week I will take about an opener in it, and maybe a reverse band set depending on how I feel.

Tonight I will be back in the SDP hoping to smash some nice numbers!
