Squat / Deadlift – Saturday 4/16/16

McGill Big 3, Goblet squats and an empty bar were part of the warm up routine.  INZER double gripper knee wraps were used and will be used going forward.  Squats felt great!  Deadlifts moved well but I was ready for the day to be over when 545 was on the bar.

Squats (Mastodon bar)

  • 2 x 6 w/ 150
  • 2 x 3 w/ 240
  • 330 x 2
  • 420 x 2
  • 2 x 2 w/ 510 (light wrap)
  • 2 x 2 w/ 560 (medium wrap)

Deadlift

  • 225 x 2
  • 315 x 2
  • 405 x 2
  • 2 x 2 w/ 495
  • 2 x 2 w/ 545

 

Bench – Monday 4/18/16

Rotator work and several empty sets with the bar were used to get some blood flowing.  Top sets with 380lbs felt off last week, 400lbs felt better than ever this week.  Great confidence builder.

Bench

  • 2 x 5 w/ 135
  • 2 x 3 w/ 225
  • 315 x 2
  • 2 x 2 w/ 365

Jason began training under Brian’s tutelage in February 2013. He was actually one of the initial test subjects, hence the name Lab Rat.
