MONTH 3!!!!

Sat. May 5th Juijitsu 1 hr.

WEEK 3
Mon. May 7th
2" thick bar APOLLON AXLE Deadlift 200, 270, 290, 320 x 1
340 !!MISS!!

Gym was busy. I wasn't as focused as I should've been after a busy day either. Having a heck of a time breaking past that 340 magic number! Got it to just below knees and ran out of drive! (mental block kinda thing for some reason. See even trainers get plateaus to work through! )

Anyway next.....

Trap Bar from floor 4 x 5 at 80% (or 330 here)
(A very good sub for Squats. Simillar to Deadlift lifting off the ground and standing up. But with the body position standing INSIDE the hexagon bar the emphasis goes to legs instead of the back as much. About 70/30% legs to back here. Where barbell deadlifts are the opposite.)
An "assistance exercise" here to the AXLE Deadlifting.

Plyometric Squat Jumps
1 x 10 holding a 12 lbs. medicine ball
1 x 10 holding a 10 lbs. medicine ball
1 x 10 holding an 8 lbs. medicine ball
(Great bodyweight exercise for explosive legs! Used the medicine balls for added resistance today.)

1 set of reps with light Tire Flip (450 lbs.) in my yard at home.
(Earth mover tire lifting in and up til stood upright each rep. Start is a drive with the legs, hips, back and chest, at the knees you squat the tire up with legs, back, glutes and hip. Some biceps here too transitioning. Push it up and over with chest, shoulders. A full body move! Great cardio when done for reps!!)

Lower body is totally FRIED!!
