Rewrote program; the front squatting wasn't doing what it needed to (and was crippling me as an added insult) so I'm going to try just back squatting for a few weeks. I'm honestly considering just going back to Westside or Cube at this point (or adding in a 7th day consisting only of a technical squat max).
Warmup
Floor Press -
5x 45 (x3), 95 (x2), 135
3x 155, 175
2x 185 (3F)
1x 185
In retrospect I knew better than to attempt a third.
I'm dissatisfied with this; looks like I'm shooting for 200 next week.
Dumbbell Bench -
6x 60s (x6)
Pulldown -
5x 75 (x4), 80
Discovered that actively pulling the bar apart also helps with lat activation; good to know.
Doing 80 next time.
GHR -
5
I clearly need to do more work on loosening up my calves.
DB Retraction - 12x 25, 20, 20
DB Protraction - 12x 25, 20, 20
Alternating Curl - 10ea x 20, 20, 20 (22.5s next time)
The new programming's basically -
Monday - Max Effort Bench (full Westside style, plus GHR)
Tuesday - DL Technical and Volume work, Row, Squat Singles
Wednesday - Squat singles, pulldowns, GHR
Thursday - Submax bench (may switch to speed), Press/Floor 5x5, Row, Curls
Friday - Squat Singles, pulldown, GHR
Saturday - DL ROM Progression, Row, Squat Singles
