Heavy Legs
Deadlifts w/Reverse bands in the power rack
Warm Up
. bar weight 2 x 10
. 135 lbs x 10
. 185 lbs x 8
. 225 lbs x 5
Working Sets *
. 75% max 4 x 3
. 85% max 2 x 3
. 95% max 2 x 1

new max
Squats w/sandbag
. 72 lb sandbag 3 x 6
* Added additional weight to bar to equal the band assist so that max percentages were maintained.
That last deadlift was a tough one!! I had hit all my reps last week including the last one at 100%, so tonight I decided to raise all my targets by 5%. Whew!!!
I'm accustomed to working with the 50 lb sandbag, so I'd like to thank my team for surprising me by bringing out the big sandbag tonight. I realized it when I started down on that first squat, but I was able to push through all my reps at below parallel. Thanks guys!!
I had to leave the group to train my Special Olympic team, but I feel like I did enough for tonight...
