2/25/2013

This was a good day, albeit kinda long because spent a lot of time talking to Jon Lim about form (and how vacuous the notion of "good form" often is).

Warmup

Front Squat -
5x 45 (x5), 95 (x3), 135, 185
3x 227.5 (x5)
Very pleased with this. I'm intentionally taking my back squat stance with these now. Also putting my ring finger on the rings.
I think I pulled my left rhomboid, but that should get better over time.

Bench -
5x 45 (x5), 95 (x3), 135

1-Board -
3x 167.5, 180 (x3), 185 (x2)
Got a handle on 185 this time. I think the difference is primarily in my setup - I'm getting a better arch now. Part of the help is setting my traps on the bench a bit lower and then using my legs to drive them higher and get my butt down.

Deadlift -
3x 135, 185, 225
1x 275 (x7)
Getting better at remembering to mix thoracic flexion at the bottom with lat activation during the pull.

GHR -
10, 8, 5
REALLY trying to drive my hips through.

Then couch stretch for 1 minute per position and hamstrings for a bit. It no longer seems necessary to hold couch for 2 straight minutes, though I should probably do it anyway.

Forgot to do curls.
