Quadsweep's Sis - Training Log

[pwrlftrscott]

Well - it was a helluva thing.

Training partner was curious about our new Metal Viking suits. He wanted to 'test' out the suit and see what it was made of so to speak. His max was 455 on the GM prior to straps up and last night the 455 was easy for him.

True - we do GM's to strengthen our posterior chain and we never pull the straps up when we do them. I guess we just wanted to give it a go and see what happened. I have never had the weight on my back that was not able to go down (gravity usually takes care of that - LOL!) It was crazy...fun. Just messin' around I guess.

when is your meet?

I have a question....I am going to get a metal squat suit tomorrow....we are going to the store because it's close to the Arnold. Would you recommend me getting the viking material even though this is my 1st squat suit or should I just go with the pro?

We just got the suits about a month and a half ago and needless to say, they are tight as shit. The thought was to use them on ME and DE days to get used to them and break them in a little. Then I was thinking of only using the suits with straps down on ME days to continue working them in and using a lighter suit on DE days but I let some newbie borrow my light/loose suit I used as breifs to try out and his punkass hasn't been back since.

Up to this point, we have only used them with the straps down. My concern is that due to the tightness of the suit and the strength of the material, the suits may be stronger than us. They have a tendency of throwing your hips forward in the hole if you don't concentrate on arching hard enough and throwing your ass back.

Also, we are going to compete in a federation that only allows single ply material and Metal only sells breifs in double ply so it didn't make sense to buy the breifs unless we compete in a different fed.

Since we were going heavy, I wanted to see exactly were the suit would pull from and how much weight it would take to break parallell. For me, I hit a solid 90 degree Good Morning on the third rep with 455. I think to hit parallel in a full squat, for me it will at least be 550 which is good because I'm shooting for 625-650.

ME Squat

High Box Squat *usually low, but today went 1/2" above parallel
Straight Weight (no bands) - W/up 135, 155, 175

What is the benefit of a high box as opposed to a lower or deeper squat?

Thanks babe!

TAKE A WEIGHT: SQUAT

Well, today chamb and I decided we were going to take a weight in squat. I was not yet at 'full-capacity' having sprained my ankle (knucklehead) and my back is still tweaked, but getting better. I went for it anyway. I stopped when the pain in my low back got bad and just let chamb keep on goin!

Put on the knee wraps too since its been awhile. Need to get the 'feeling' again of what all the gear will feel like at the meet.

135 x 3
175 x 3
205 x 3
235 x 2 (wraps / straps up on Metal suit)
265 x 1 (wraps / straps) - miss
265 x 1 (got it - stopped)

* My goal today was 325. I think 325-350 is there for me, i just have to get my back better and hips/low back stronger)

Chamb kept going and got 585 today. I know he will do more.
