SE Lower Body

Gear:

None / no belt

Back Squat:
Shoulder Stance

295, 3 x 5 (3 sets of 5 reps)
325, 1 x 2 (1 set of 2 reps)

The last one was easiest.

Power Cleans:
215, 5 x 3 (5 sets of 3)

Good Mornings:
205, 3 x 8

The good mornings are a good finisher for this setup. The squats felt much better than the 285 5x5. So I'm going to use my regular protocol for them (and pretty much everything else).

On a related note, I switched back to the 2 High/1 Low Upper/Lower split I've been using (although I need to tweak a few things). The 3 Whole Body/Week routine I tried last week was too much of a grinder to sustain with my situation (work + driving a bunch).

Priest Burdette gave me a call. I'm going to call him and invite him to bench this weekend. So if you want to learn from a 600+ lbs single-ply bencher, show up this weekend (time TBD).
