SLD 8x225/185x20

Squat 275x6/225x8 A2G

Im liking this workout since i finally got everything down pat. i might switch the order up so im doing squats before my SLDs and my calves. i wasnt really concerned with weight today so much as getting as low as i possibly could with keeping good form. I was told i wasnt even close to as far down as i should have been getting. All in all good workout though.

*no bar
 
Good work evans.

About going atg during squats, maybe you could try and go down until your calves touch hams? That's as low you can go.

Only lifted once last week, and came in feeling pretty tired. everything went alright except the shoulder presses which i have no clue why i shit the bed so hard on those. i hit 175 for the targer RP reps the last time i did it, i dont know why 10 pounds made that much of a difference...

Went into the gym feeling like shit but banged out a pretty good workout. Was able to get 16 RPs on the Flat DBs instead of 14 last time. Went up 20 pounds in close grip and still hit it for one more than before. I didnt write down the pulldowns from the last 1A workout but 210 was pretty heavy for me and i still was in my rep range. FUCKING BLASTED MY DEADS TODAY. Last time i hit deads 365 was my PR for reps. i was going to do two sets of 6 but i decided to max out. hit 405....tried it again, had a better lockout the second time. I rule.

Switched my warmup weights a little better. tried lowering them, and to no surprise got a better working set outa it. got 10 rp on the bench instead of 7. My shoulders were shot for some reason during this workout. i also sub'ed the skullcrushers for regular pushdowns on the cable. I did this because the skulls were giving my elbows too much pain..i ended up having sore elbows rather than sore tri's. I also switched to the cable machine with less pulleys, it obvious gives less assistance, and i can feel the weight alot better.
