Still doing 30-45 second tempo squats to a box with only 3/4 extension at the top for constant tension. 5 second negatives are brutal, but I worked up to a top set with 220.

4 giant sets of those squats, sissy squats and heavy sled drags.

2 giant sets of calves, groin, abs and 200 LB sandbag sumo squat.

Tabata air bike to finish.

Deadlift: 225x3; 260x3; 290x8
Squat: 170 5x10

fricked around and too long so didn’t do an accessory lift. I gotta get my pacing right now that I’m going back to work. Keep cutting workouts short because I had all the time in the world during quarantine.

I have been lifting, just not posting. This week is supposed to be a deload week, but I’m feeling great. I‘M going to max out this week to see where I stand and recalibrate my program. I’m also going to adjust my program to include cleans and jerks. I really miss the oly lifts I used to do. I’m also going to adjust my accessory lifts to focus more on strength than volume. I’m getting to a point where 5x10 are getting too heavy. I feel like I have a solid base.
