Pretty decent day overall. Pissed I missed that deadlift, but I got it to about 3 inches from lockout. I could have hitched it up but decided it would be pointless. That's the first rep I have missed in training since the first week of March. I did cleanly lock out about 575 pounds on the rep before which is pretty awesome for me. I got 10 chin-ups, which is shitty but better than I thought I could do.

Week 5 - Intensity - Low Stress

6/29/08 - Sunday - Lower 1

Back Squat (with belt):
385x1 @7
425x1 @8
455x1 @10 (+10 PR)
435x1 @10

Bunch of RDL's and some lunges.

Today sucked balls. I had trouble even getting the bar set right on my back, and everything felt harder than it should. So, I called it a day there rather than hurt myself pushing more. Definitely a bit overtrained. I wanted to do closer to 465 today.

Good job, fellas. Keep up the good work.

Box Squat
135x5x2
225x5x2
315x3x2

365x1, dropped the second rep

Feeling better about the box squats. I think I'm getting the hip flexor relaxation down. Feeling a lot stronger out of the hole, which is my weak point.
