Squat and Bench Press

Training in the garage today. I got out my chains for some extra fun.

Warm Up
Stretching
alternate the following
Leg Extensions - 35lbs/20 reps, 70lbs/20 reps, 105lbs/20 reps.
Squats - 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/6 reps.

Power Phase
Squats (with belt) - 3 sets/2 reps/365lbs, 5 sets/3 reps/365lbs.
Bench Press (with Titan RAM) - warm ups, 3 sets/2 reps/315lbs, 5 sets/3 reps/315lbs.
*2minutes rest after each set*

Pump Phase
Squats (with belt and chains 120lbs) - 1 set/8 reps/245lbs + 120lbs chain, 2 sets/7 reps/245lbs + 120lbs chain.
Bench Press (with Titan RAM and chains 120lbs) - 1 set/8 reps/195lbs + 120lbs chain, 2 sets/7 reps/195lbs + 120lbs chain.
*2 minutes rest after each set*

My left shoulder is still buggered. It doesn't hurt at all but I have no strength, especially when pressing higher reps. The squats felt good but I have to watch my height. Go deep or go home.

Hi Robert,

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. It looks like your lifts are coming along in spite of it.

Unfortunately, last week while squatting I tweaked my lower back. That wouldn't be such a big deal except that next week I'm entered in a meet I've been training for all year. Any suggestions?

Stay strong, good sir.
