7am workout, very rare for me, but made it easiest on my schedule.  Groin very sore from last leg day still.

Single Leg Squats
12 reps at level 12
12 reps at level 11
12 reps at level 10

Sled Press - 3x15......300

Superset
Natural Glute Ham Raise - 3x6
Swiss Curl - 3x15

Stepups - 3x10.....95

Leg Extension - 3x15.....165

The single squats were only really tough on the last set, the lower the number the higher the height, good way to track progress.  The superset really burned my hamstrings and the stepups were also tough, not used to that many reps.  Good early morning leg day.

The pause bulgarians is kind of new, it was tough.  You pause on a pad (to protect the knees) for a second then return, 155 for 3 reps was really tough.  The last two sets of the hip thrusts I held the top position for as long as possible, it burned a lot, also 345 for 10 reps was a pr.  The timed portion was a decent quick burner.

Posterior Chain


Went in with a mentality of wanting to lift heavy on trap bar deadlifts, with my old pr of 420 pounds for 3, I was feeling optimistic.

Trap Bar Deadlift (all resetting)
150x8
150x5
240x5
240x5
work sets
330x3
330x3
380x3
420x2
470x1 (pr!!!!!!)

Natural Glute Ham Raises, slow negative - 3x6

Swiss Hamstring Curl - 3x18

My old pr was 440, with straps and crappy form, today I went for 470 simply because 460 didn't fit on the bar (complicated).  I was nervous, and like most of my deadlift pr's, it was slow off the floor, then moved fast after that.  Brett and Jame's, two fellow trainer's, both told me it looked solid.  I am stoked about that pr, 470 pounds makes me think 500 is close, oh man that would be sweet.  The natural glute ham raises were harder, but the deadlift was the highlight today.

Posterior Chain


At the start of this workout I intended on doing conventional deadlifts, but after warming up with 135 I decided to switch to my stronger one, and glad I did.

Sumo deadlifts (all resetting)

225x5

Deficit Deadlifts - 3x5.....315

Swiss Hamstring Curl - 3x15

That went awesome, however, I should add that for only the set at 405 I used straps.  I noticed myself losing my grip on the set at 385, but had more in me.  It's always debatable whether or not to use straps, but I wanted to see if I could get 405 for 3 reps, which would be a lifetime pr with that weight.  I did, and it was heavy, but felt awesome, I won't get in the habit of using straps (unless I am doing romanians), but won't neglect them if my back and legs have more in them.  The deficit deadlifts were killer, they always are, they destroy my legs, even felt them in my quads.  It's amazing how hard swiss curls were after all that other work.
