Thanksgiving Week Workouts

This has been a crazy week, Tuesday we did light legs to recover from the weekend.  Wednesday we did some bench shirt work.  I went up to 675 off of a 4 board, which is the most weight that has been in my hands in a long time.  Today, Friday 11/26, we did some really heavy cambered bay squats with a bunch of bands and chains.  I used the 3/0/3 tempo and it was really hard.

JL's Weekend Workouts

Saturday -

Did band box squats using 405 + blue band.  3 sets x 3 reps using super slow tempo.  3sec down, 3 sec up.  I'm doing this to negate my explosive nature and to ensure lots of muscle work and that I don't injure myself going too fast.  I'm really sore from doing it this way.

Deadlift in same fashion, 405 x 3 for 3 sets, 500 x 3 for 1 set.

Leg extensions, Abs.

Sunday - Football bar bench, worked up to 500x2

3 board w/football bar using 3/3 tempo - 405x3, 4sets

tri's, lats, bi's and more tri's

Great Weekend at Elite for UGSS

It was another great UGSS (underground strength session).  Lifters were here from all over the country.  It was great to see big lifts, friends I don't get to see much and a whole lot of ripping on each other.  I had a great squat session and good bench session.  Matt Wenning knocked out 13 reps with Kroc's 185lb db's and had a huge squat on Saturday, he is looking very impressive.  Can't wait for the next one, hopefully I'll be 100% healthy and able to put up some big lifts with the rest of the guys.
