Luquillo workout journal

[luquillo78]

Yes winter, conv deads. Never did sumo.

 

[Winter]

I used to unload all the weight on my back when I did conv., but after I switched to sumos, I have been able to use my legs a lot more. Just my 2cents.

 

[AngryMuscles]

same here, winter..but I did some experimenting. I put my butt down and heads up and concentrated on using my feet/back at the same time in the lift. it was hard to get it off the floor but felt good becuse I did it right. 2 cents

[Winter]

Damn luq, you keep gettin stronger. Nice job on those PRs

 

[MANOWAR]

Nice squats.

My deads, bench, and squat are all around the same number. Is this wierd?

 

[SteelSouth]

That's great luquillo, man you're getting stronger.

 

[luquillo78]

I swear, luq, you're always puttin' up PRs...that rocks! Keep it up!

Thanks Brat! I try to make at least 1 PR every workout, at least adding small weight or 1 rep. Keeps me motivated.

Damn luq, you keep gettin stronger. Nice job on those PRs

Thanks winter!

Nice squats.

My deads, bench, and squat are all around the same number. Is this wierd?

I don't know, my deads a lot stronger than squats, and squats are stronger than bench.

That's great luquillo, man you're getting stronger.

Today I didn't push me too much to get any PR. I needed a lighter workout. Lifted all the same #s as last workout. Only some extra reps on pullups.

 

[AngryMuscles]

and 400-422 on deads is light...sweet

 

[MANOWAR]

I don't know, my deads a lot stronger than squats, and squats are stronger than bench.

I think most people are like that. I guess I've always genetically had small and weak legs which is why they're behind, but I'm happy they're getting stronger. I've just had a couple of bad leg workouts so I get scared at the thought of squatting, I don't want them to fall even more.

Anyway nice back work, 400+ is very impressive, keep it up

 

[luquillo78]

Thanks angry and manowar.
