M14 W2 Squat Day

Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 14 - Week 2
Squat Day

Beginning Thoughts:

This is yesterday's workout...

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
135 lbs x 3 reps
155 lbs x 3 reps
160 lbs x 3 reps
165 lbs x 3 reps
175 lbs x 1 rep
Decent workout....My left shoulder really bothers me on this..perhaps I need to widen my grip.

Back Squats:
315 lbs x 1 rep
275 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets
Speed work @ 185 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets
So this is what I have come to realize. I hate squatting. But, I keep expecting to be as strong as I was 7 months ago when I last did this exercise. I am stronger though because 7 months ago I could only do 275x3x3. However, I need to allow my body to relearn the lift a bit and get my groove back. The speed work was thrown in there specifically for that. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I'll destroy my old max of 355.

Bar Rollouts:
BW x 10 reps x 5 sets
This was super-setted with the Speed Squats.

Farmers Walks:
105 lbs x 2 trips x 2 sets

Decent workout...
