December 23, 2013 Lower / Heavy


  • Squats: 315*2 355*1 380*1 400*1 TIES PR 410*X
  • Front Squats: 250*1 275*1 295*1-blacked out doing it haha
  • Good Mornings: 225*1 240*1 255*1
  • Lumberjack Squats: 180*6 205*4
46 minutes

Felt great, tied PR on squats, went for 410, missed at bottom.  I'm doing so much better with bracing my abs, but it's still a work in progress, on the 410 completely lost the brace at the bottom, pretty much worst place to lose it as far as effect on completing the rep goes.  Front squats went great, although I should have breathed a little better on 295, I actually blacked out as I locked it out. Apparently 255 is only 5 off my record on good mornings.  Also, I'm so happy to be doing lumberjack squats again.  They're a great exercise for getting depth if any of you reading this have trouble with that. It's almost like a heavier goblet squat in a way. I don't have issues with depth, they're just a fun exercise.  Here's a post with videos of me doing them a couple years ago. 

Here's a guy taking it literally:

And another video, this time a lady doing them:
