5/23/2013 - Squat

Squat day. My legs are killing me, as usual.

Also I spent 3 hours in the ER for a possible concussion.

Warmup - Shoulders only

Squat -
45x5x3
95x5x2 (rep x set)
135x5
185x5
225x3
275x1x3
295x1x2
305x1x5
285x2x5
Switched up my labeling system at long last. This one honestly does make more sense.
Trying the Bulgarian trick of hitting a technical max and then dropping 20lbs to hit doubles. The last 305 was flawless (besides the grind at my sticking point) so I went down. Most of the 285 reps were good, though the last one definitely wasn't (frustrating since I yelled for it, hoping to use the boost to get it right).

Deadlift -
135x3
185x3
225x3
275x1x2
295x1x6
Getting somewhat better at these.

Rows -
135x5
135x6x4
Deadlift stance and grip (and setup in general - I basically do these as knee pulls). Working on thoracic flexion at the bottom and extension at the top to help specialize the movement.

Then I cleaned the bar into the rack, got lightheaded as usual, fainted as not usual, fell over, banged my head, and went to the ER.
