Log Bar Close Grip Bench 4 x 5 230 lbs.
(Fealt like crap!)

Need more technique work. The Cleans weren't that hard just the transition grip into the press. Pressing it wasn't a problem either.
Happy with that though but not satisfied.

APOLLON AXLE Curls 4 x 5 160
(Grip, arms and just my whole system was fried at this point.)

Band Crunches 1 x 100
Reverse Hypers 1 x 50 180 lbs.

Sled Drag 8x dropping weight off each set. Start at 360 down to 150 lbs. About 50 lbs. off each time. Instead of regular cardio intervals.

EASTER MONDAY:

Log Bar Close Grip Bench 5 x 5 ( 135, 155 185, 200, 230 lbs.)
(Fealt a lot better.)

Log Bent Rows 5 x 5 (135, 155, 175, 185, 205 lbs.)

Standing Barbell Press in the power rack:
135, 145 , 155, 185, 205 x 5

Wide Grip Chins 5x 5 (bodyweight only)

Kettlebell Side Bends 1 x 100 each with 80 lbs.

APOLLON AXLE Reverse Curls
110, 130, , 160, 180, 190 x 5

Sledgehammer Tire Side Strikes 1 x 50 each side

Moved really quickly thru this one in time for Easter dinner out with family.


TUES. APR. 6TH

Bottom Position Squat in the power rack with Purple AVERAGE JUMPSTRETCH bands tied to the bar.: 135, 225, 315, 335 lbs. plus bands x 5
(I usually use bands or chains for light speed work. But did max effort with bands today just to shock my squats. Been almost 2 years since I did this.)

Bottom Position Front Squat in the power rack: 185, 205, 225, 235 x 5
(Bar weight)

Wanted to go to Ancaster gym but didn't want to swim there in the rain. So did everything in the GAAARRR - RAAAAGE GYM. Able to get some stuff done around home too today.
