Good morning. Might try to hit some squats and Pull-ups (and a run) in a little while. Hope you all have a good day! Squats on a sat??? sounds crazy. Today's PR's! Flat bench 255x3, single arm fly 175x10, machine fly 160x10, and incline DB press 75x7 failed before 10 but still more weight than I've ever lifted on this lift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTwGiE6Z16IWas not feeling it today might be time to change it up little.

There he is! Man, I was wondering where you've been. Solid sets on bench (and everything else)! Great job! Is your leg feeling better?

10" Box Squats (Touch and Go): Work up to 3(5x70%) 5x135, 5x185, 5x205, 3(5x195)
Pull-ups: Pick a number of repetitions for all 9 sets: 8 3 Sets of Pull-ups 3 Sets of Close-Grip Pull-ups 3 Sets of Wide Grip Pull-ups *Rest 60 Seconds between sets.
Note whether you were able to complete all sets: No. 6 Sets +7 Reps
Time: 16:48
Assistance: 4 Rounds: 8 Box Step-ups (per leg), 30 lb Dumbbells 10 Reverse Hypers 10 Jump Squat Pull-ups 20 Sit-ups
Time: 15:06
Conditioning: Distance Run 5K (Slow Pace), 29:47, 9:36 Pace, 427 Calories
Comments: Still pretty beat from this week, but wanted to get this in. It is about 85 degrees in here with 70% humidity so it is officially getting hot. Squats: My legs felt pretty decent for these, but my lower back was a little sore still so I decided to do T&G's instead of pauses. Decent sets. Pull-ups: Well, didn't get my sets on these for the first time. Not suprising though. My arms are beat. I'll give this a shot again next week. Assistance: This was harder than it looked on paper. The Jump Squat Pull-ups are a bit misleading. Since my pull-up bar is within my max standing reach I just did a pull-up and dropped into a squat. Good workout. Run: That was more of a "jog/walk." I'm just beat, that's all there is to it. A long week of grueling work in the heat followed by a squat workout probably isn't the best way to prepare for running in the heat. I started to get cold during that last mile so time to get hydrated and rest. Rest day coming up. Have a good one!

I shoot my ass back more when i squat and i keep my chest up more and look up which helps my hips get under me more giving alittle more explosive power.

I may work on that. Keep the back arched a little. Still sit back into it, but shoot the butt back and keep the chest up. Today sucked because my back was hurting.

I need to build that strength in my hamstrings, hips and glutes in shape for it and get the strength from there.

Nice job on the PR's. DB press with 75's is beastly. Heck, it's hard just to get those big things stabilized enough to press them . Nice work.

I know the feeling, the backs hurting but you keep thinking,"It'll feel better if I just work out." Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Jump squats are terrible anytime and combining them with pull ups sounds like fun. I remember doing body blasters once...once.

Rest day here. I stayed up late to watch USMNT play Columbia, had too many beers and then #3 woke up at 5am. Well, I say rest day but, I cleaned the yard, weed whacked and blew everything off. Moved and stacked a bunch of lumber for my dad and then helped the wife deep clean the house. I did get to watch Auburn's softball team beat Georgia in a nail biter though. Hope you all have a good night.

Hope you all have a good night. Sounds like a productive day there. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks on my stuff. Yeah, body blasters are rough. If I ever have a pull-up bar that I have to jump to I'll start doing those again. Can't wait! Ha ha...
