October 23, 2012 Lower Body


  • BB DL: 315*3 365*3 405*2
  • Hanging Power Cleans: 135*3 155*3 175*3 195*1
  • DB Bulgarian Split Squats: 25*10 25*10
  • Paloffs: 60*10 70*10

I realized that prior to getting injured I was lifting at about 95% of my 1RM on deadlifts for about a year straight, no wonder I got exhausted and hurt.  Going to take a 'wave' approach from here on out, hang out around 75-80% of my max for a few reps, and then every six weeks or so ramp up to a max pull.  Felt really tight here (in a good way) everything felt like it was firing in sync; my piriformis   , back, and sciatica felt better than they have in a while.  Sciatic nerve wasn't even bothering me really.  Going to stay at 25s on split squats next week, slowly building up here, got a little shaky at the end. Amazing how long it can take to truly correct imbalances.  Finished with Paloffs.
