Wore my glasses today instead of contacts and hit a big squat PR. Maybe I need to wear them more often.
270 x 2
285 x 1
300 x 1 -PR, been wanting to get this for a while now
I think I'm stronger with this narrower stance that I'm trying out because I get more pop out of the hole. Because of this I can be faster through the middle of the lift where I'm slowest.
For the record, here are the final results of the recent "Race to 300" :
1. Luke - hit 300 like 4 or 5 weeks ago
2. Me - hit 300 around 8 PM tonight
3. Darvin - hit 300 around 8:10 PM tonight
4. Greg - hit 300 around 8:25 PM tonight
I'm pretty happy that all of our squats are getting stronger.
Deadlift
353 x 5
363 x 5 -still need to think about pushing the hips through earlier in the lifts instead of pulling back all the way through
I moved my hands in slightly so my arms are more vertical rather than grabbing the bar further out at a slight angle. It's a minor change, but the range of motion is reduced probably by a couple millimeters and I'll take any advantage I can get lol
GMOPs
225 x 5
235 x 5
245 x 5
Finished with 4 sets of banded leg curls (quadded purple) and 3 sets of ball leg raises
