2014-05-05 Squat

Warmup

Squat -
45x5
85x5
125x5
145x5
205x5
250x5 (Belt)
290x3 (Belt)
410 Walkout (Belt)
340x5 (Belt)
430 Walkout (Belt)
340x5 (Belt)
450 Walkout
340x5
I borrowed Henry's lever belt and adjusted it in by one notch; that actually wound up making the lifts and walkouts a lot harder. Pushing out against the belt distracted me from keeping an upright torso (or biased my brain towards letting my back take the weight), so I leaned forward a lot more than usual. The last set actually looked better than the others, and the 450 walkout was easy without the belt.

Deadlift -
135x10x3

Squat Walkout -
405, 2 times
I loosened the belt one notch to go for this one; it worked a lot better. Being able to breath helps.

45-Degree Back Raise -
20x3, hands on head
Adding these for a deadlift accessory.

Pull-Up -
8x4
Fairly strict

Super Couch for 1m/position

I met Cyrus in the parking lot and he gave me a card; I've got a free massage credit, and I'll set up with him for Friday. Today's main focus from now on will be on abs; I have a feeling the rear laterals were actually hurting me shoulder-wise.
