Squat Training / Chest Training

Last night was a leg day for Brent and I. My hams were sore/tight from finishing a deadlift workout 2 days prior, but it was an overall good lift. My glutes are killing me today.

8-21
Backsquat-
w/u
275x5
295x5
315x5
335x5
365x3 (knees lightly wrapped)

Lunges
135x6 (each leg)
185x6 (each leg)

Backsquat- Pause 3 secs
205x5
225x5
245x5

Powercleans
135x4
135x4
185x4
185x4

Chest Training 8-22
Bench- wide grip
225x5
275x5
295x5
315x3 (1 forced- butt came off)

Incline - Pause at chest
135x5
185x5
205x5
225x5

Incline Tri-ext 10x4

Brent was setting PRs like a mad man today, almost every working set was a PR for him. The change in his grip definately boosted his bench.

nice workout. Don't be afraid to go heavier on those pause squats. If it gets too tough, cut it to a 3 second pause. You'll never get stuck in the hole if you train the pause squats. (or box squats)
