I finally made the move over to the powerlifting side of things and if the workouts are always this much fun I'm never going back. I did my ME squat/dead day today starting off with good mornings. I have never done them before and did them at parallel off a pin in the power rack. I was surprised and pleased that I worked all the way up to a 225 lb single. Probably not much but it was good for me since I was getin my form down and doing it for the first time. I followed that with 3 sets of glute-ham raises. It was hard I ad to get a stretch mat and anchor my legs under a cable machine so they were kinda make-shift but goddamn are they hard. I tried my best to go down slowly but would get halfway and fall. I made it a point to get my self up explosively though and by the end my hams were shot. I finished off with leg raises on a flat bench for 3 sets of as many as I could get. I basically just did those with minimal rest in between sets and by the end of the workout I was feeling great and had worked up a crazy sweat. Can't wait to try box squats and start using my bands and chains. I think I'm hooked.
