High Bar Full Olympic Back Squats - No belt and rock bottom
245lbs 10 sets of 3 reps

very easy!
Me thinks I could have banged out 8 reps to failure.
315lbs x1 is in the window in 2 weeks time, I love Smolov!

High Bar Full Olympic Back Squats - No belt and rock bottom

275lbs x2 - 2nd rep was very slow - definitely my 2RM!

295x1

315x1 - easy - only took 1 sec for the concentric

325 - got buried - couldn't get past sticking point, had I been fresh (did lots of oly lifts), and not done that 2nd rep at 275 would have had it!!!

I wasn't expecting to attempt PRs today - so no videos!!!

12-13-02 - 3 Board Press PR of 410 Pounds

My Previous best was 405.. I was planning on going for 425 Tonight but my Tendonitis in my left arm was aggrivated tonight so I had to stop.. Wasn't even able to do my tri work.. So I'll hit that tomorrow.


12-12-02 - Arched Back free standing GM's - PR 355x3

Previous PR was 300x1 These are a terrible weakness for me because of my lower back issues which I'm finally over after 3 years.. I had slipped 3 disks and reaggrivated repeatedly during that time... It's the decent that Gives me problems. Lifting the weight is cake.. Especially after all the Chain Suspened GMs I have been doing the past 6 months...But all the reverse hypers have finally rehabed it Thank God.....

glad to hear your back is better jdarty

wish i could say the same for myself

 

[JDarty6173]

Thanks jeremys.. It's rather odd how it started to get well actually.. I was doing Arched GMs as I was yesterday about 4 months ago.. On my last set I lost my tightness going down and slipped one of the same disks.. I think I even posted about that back then looking for advice.. Well I couldn't even stand upright after that.. So I hit some Reverse Hypers hoping for some relief.... And it did quit hurting enough for me to finish up with some Ab work... Well the next day I came in and warmed up with about 8 sets of 5 i think with a mini band letting it pull me under for a good long stretch each rep... Well I felt 100% after that day... And ever since I haven't had the slightest bit of pain in my lower back...

So it literally took me making my injury worse in order to fix it.. Of course I'm still hesitent with it at times on squats and AB GMs, but I think my ordeal is finally over.. After Chiros and an ortho were unable to repair me without surgery even... I really hope yours get better soon bro... It was hell not being able to squat those 3 years....

 

[jeremys]

thanks

Hit a PR on the box squat. Parallel box = 545 lbs, and smoked it. Previous PR on that one was 500 even. Was pretty happy with it.
