2010-08-24 ME Lower

Very fitting that my 365 squat should come on my 100th post, no?

Warmup

Squat: 135, 135, 135, 185, 185
3x 225, 225
1x 275, 275, 315, 365, 335, 335
Yay.
My form on the 365 was actually a tad lacking; I didn't drive my chest up properly out of the hole, and consequently had to do something of an upper back goodmorning to lock it out. This is something I'm going to have to work on, given that the main problem with the 405 unrack was that I was having a very hard time holding my upper back in position.

Step-Ups: Box 1
6ea x 45s, 50s, 50s, 50s, 50s
Not too hard. I like these a lot more than lunges, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who's ever done both movements.

RDL:
5x10 - 205lbs
Grip was fine for the first two sets, and a liability for the latter 3. I went mixed grip after the 2nd one, alternating on a per-set basis. My shoulder felt fine, fortunately.

Fallout Holds:
5x 20ct
30 seconds of rest between holds. I don't quite get how the fuck you're supposed to do the fallout flutters...I think I may have to start doing unilateral suitcase deads or something, 'cuz these were only hard because of the rest period.
