The Devil's Lair: Last Winter Installment
Last day at Diablo for the winter. I will return in the summer to get really strong.
Box Squat: 155x2x12
185x2
205x2
225x1
I need to:
-Spread the floor
-Come down faster, but under control
-Drive through the hips off of the box
All of that considered, I felt like I'm coming along pretty well. I'm actually using my hips and hamstrings to squat (they're weak, so that's why the numbers suck right now) and if I really bust ass I could be squatting decent numbers in February.
Deadlift against light bands: 225x1
275x1x5
These weren't too pretty after the squats (my hips were shot to hell). Still, my DL is getting a lot better I think.
During the squats and afterwards, Ted was talking to me and the other new guy about weight gain. He wants me to gain at least 3 lbs a week until I hit 220 (for the February meet), and then get up to 240 before I return to Diablo in June. Then over the summer I will get up to 260. I need to make these goals, as I have heard that the price of failure is not pretty.

The Devil's Lair: Bench (Post #600)
2-Board: 185x1
205x1
225xMiss
DB Bench (palms in): 55x5
65x5
75x5, 5, 5
T-bar Row (machine): 2 plates x 10
2+25x10
3x10, 10
3+25x10
Rear Delt Raise (1 arm): 25x10/10, 10/10
30x10/10
Forearm Hammer Thing: 2x4 exercisesx10 reps
Ted was coaching my bench today. We really hammered the setup of the bench, which turned out to be very, very helpful. The 205 went up pretty fact for me, and he showed me a trick for keeping my elbows in. Never thought my back could get that tired just benching.
On the food side of things, I lost weight during finals week. I weighed in at 200lbs today. Ted told me I had 100lbs to gain, but that I needed to go back to UCLA at 215. Wonder how long it will take him to make me into a SHW?
