Squat / Deadlift – Saturday 1/23/16

Coming off a deload everything felt great.  McGill Big 3 for a few rounds and a more than normal amount of sets with the bar were used to warm up.

Squats (low box, buffalo bar)

• 2 x 5 w/ 150
• 240 x 5
• 290 x 5
• 330 x 5
• 360 x 5
• 370 x 5

Sumo Deadlift (2″ blocks)

• 225 x 5
• 315 x 5
• 405 x 5
• 2 x 5 w/ 425

Deadlift felt a little sluggish, nothing to be concerned with.

Bench – Monday 1/25/16

Once my raw offseason work was completed I jumped into Byrd’s Inzer Bench Shirt to assist with the break in.  Warmup consisted of rotator work.

Bench

• 2 x 8 w/ 140
• 230 x 5 (1 board from here up)
• 280 x 5
• 320 x 5
• 350 x 5

Top set felt great, a little more weight than I planned on taking but it moved easy.  I’ll adjust the rest of the weeks based on this one.

Added Inzer Shirt

• 430 x 3 (3board)
• 520 for a couple doubles off a 2 board
• 520 for a couple singles off a 1 board

Bench Dips – 50 reps

Squat / Deadlift Accessory Work – Wednesday 1/27/16

McGill Big 3

McGill chins (alternating grip) – 14

D/B row – 3 x 15

Barbell Shrug – 8 reps of 315, 365, 405, 435

Pause squat (cambered bar) – 3 x 5 w/ 295

Single leg deadlift – 3 x 10
