DE Lower

Box Squat: 225x8x2 EMOM

Deadlift: 275+30 chain x 9 x 1

Tempo RDL: 165x3x4

Giant Set:

- SL RDL: 25x4x8

- SL KB Squat: 25x4x8

- Band Pullapart: EFSRx4x20

BW: 186.6

Notes: This felt really good all around. Box squats were meh, felt like every third deadlift was perfect though. I figured out that cueing "tuck the tail" really helped me glide to lockout and use my glutes properly. Gonna be drilling the crap out of that for a few weeks for sure.

Log Strict Press: 140x3x5                SS                BPA: EFSRx3x40

BW: 187

Notes: Good day today. I was trashed coming into it, but warming up I felt better. Front squat AMRAP likely the culprit here. Everything felt good, I had some trouble finding a rhythm with the split jerk today, but focusing on being fast and explosive helped everything fall into place. I feel ridiculously strong right now.

ME Lower

Beltless Front Squat:  45x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 245x3, 265x2, 185x15 (1:00 AMRAP)

Zercher Squat: 225x3x5

Hip Thrust: 205x3x10

BW: 188.2

Notes: Good day today. Did things a bit out of order due to some timing issues. Might've had another rep for front squats, but I'd already hit the PR so I called it there. The timed AMRAP was BRUTAL. Also I feel like I'm making significant progress with my hips and bracing, I'm feeling very optimistic.

BW: 187

Notes: Salvaged a decent day today after an equipment mishap. Was feeling fried from yesterday, just a lot of new movements to acclimate to. Plan in my head was some kind of clean and press variation, but between angry posterior chain and the rain it wasn't in the cards, so I decided to play with the new toys and do an honest-to-god pin press and it was a good decision, other than the stands tipping over because I wasn't paying attention.
