Front Squat: 145x5, 235x3, 325x2
Back Squat: 415x2, 465x1, 505x1, 555x1, (add belt) 595 x 1, 650 x 3 x 3 sets
GHD Sit Up: 20 x 3 sets
***This was a pretty good squat day for me. The last time I did 650 for triples I stopped after 2 sets. I felt as though I could have done 4-5 sets today. On the first set I felt as though I could definitely have done a 4th rep and possibly a fifth. The second set was rough on the second rep but it was technique not strength so I went for the third. The 3rd set felt pretty grooved, slower, but grooved. I did not do more sets because I want to attempt to pull 750+ Deadlift on Thursday and to squat in the 700s ball park on Saturday. So far the two lifts i love are going very well....and the lift I loathe...well..not only is it my weakest link and lift... Ican't train it until my damn shoulder gets better..... a 2000 lb total seems very unlikely without a bench press in the upper 400's dabbling on 500....and right now, the thought of my usual opener 440 lbs, sends sharp stabbing pains to my soul. But bright side: I'M GOING TO SQUAT BIG AND DEADLIFT BIG!! We'll see how the rest of this week of reckoning goes.
Compare to: a few weeks out from RUM5. Last December, 650 x 3 x 2 sets
I am over 9 weeks out from Clash for Cash. So I have plenty of time to make more improvements. At RUM 5 back in January, I felt as though I had that 738 lb squat on the third attempt...it was close......and I was out with a crazy back injury 4 weeks going into that meet....so I think I am on the road to a biiig squat given that I still have plenty of time....
