Speed Squats / Deadlifts
I started the work out slow today. My sometimes training partner Ryan was doing deadlifts and was going for a new max. At 185lbs he deaded 275lbs, a new max by 70lbs. I convinced him to do some rack pulls since he was on a roll. Would you believe that little bugger pulled from the knees up 475lbs. Way to go Ryan!
Here is how my work out went.
Squats warm up - 135lbs/8, 225lbs/8
Low Box Squats - 10 sets, 2 reps, 275lbs
Deadlifts - 3 sets, singles, 405lbs. 3 sets, singles, 455lbs
Good Mornings - 275lbs/6, 315lbs/6, 335lbs/6, 315lbs/6.
Declined Sit Ups - 3 sets 15 reps
Hammer Curls - 3 sets, 12 reps, 50-70lbs
I'm getting tired of traning percentages. From now on when I go into the gym I'm lifting what I want. I'll stick to the program I've out lined but I'll add more weight. Hura! The box squats, deadlifts, and good mornings went up in weight.

Max Bench
Bench Press warm up - 135lbs/12, 225lbs/8
Rack Press - 6 sets, 6 reps, 245lbs
Close Grip Bench - 4 sets, 6 reps, 185lbs
I was limited on time today nence the short work out. The rack presses are performed at about 2 inches above my chest. I'm treating these like box squats. Explosive press and controlled down. No bouncing of the bar on the rails. I found this very hard even with this weight. I've found a weak link. I'll keep at it.
Both days felt very strong. I'm feeling the power. I have an erge to go up in weight. I have new tools (box squats and rack presses) and I plan on putting them to good use. Look for some big lifts from me in the next couple of months.
