WEEK 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAR. 20

All rested, back and ready to go with WEEK 2!!
Bottom Position Squat in the power rack 275 lbs. or 80% 4 x 4
Alternated with....
Straight arm Cable Pulldowns 130 lbs. using the Lat Pull machine. 4 x 4
(Does the same job as pullovers with a Dumbbell but you stand facing infront against the machine seat, Wide Grip the bar and throwing your chest out, shoulders back pull the bar down to your stomach in a straight line down.)

Standing Barbell Press in the power rack: 3 x 5 at 75 % (155 lbs.)

Sled Work (forward and Backwards) with 60% and 40% (190 and 145 lbs.) for 15 min. each weight.
(As different an exercise as this is, I still say it's one of the best you can do for cardio, legs, back! Come to STEEL CITY STRENGTH CHALLENGE #2 on MAY 26TH and see how good a work out sled dragging is!!)

Stiff Legged Deadlift 3 x 5 325 or 80 %

Chin up bar Fingers Hangs for time: Hang in the bottom/start position of a wide grip pull up slightly flexing your elbows and wrists to keep you off the floor til the grip gives out. This is also used as a lat stretch and to release tension in the lower back. But I'm using it as a grip exercise here.)
Done with a 45, then down to a 25 lbs. plate + my 210 lbs. bodyweight, then bodyweight only. (3 holds total)
