July 6, 2015 Lower Body

  • Front Squat: 275*1 315*1 295*1 305*1
  • BB DL (double overhand) thick bar: 315*2 335*1 355*1
  • DL Mixed Grip thick bar: 405*1 445*1 455*1
  • HPS: 135*3 135*3 145*2
  • Hanging Power Cleans: 185*3 195*2
  • Clean-Grip Reverse Lunges: 135*5 145*5
  • Dead Bugs: 10, 10

So this is the switch-up I've been planning.  Between sprinting two days per weekend, squatting monday or tuesday, dodgeball wednesday, and then deadlifting either thursday or Friday, I was hammering my lower body 5 times per week.  I was feeling worn down after the past month, and I think it's holding back my sprinting, which is really what I love spending my summers working on.  So my idea is to combine both deadlifting and squatting into a day (probably Monday, or Tuesday if I want to give myself a day off after back-to-back sprint sessions on the weekend), and then taking Thursday off.  This gives me a day off after dodgeball for my legs to recover, or potentially doing some extremely light sprinting on Thursdays if I'm feeling fresh.  This first session went well, I had plenty of energy and actually got through the session surprisingly fast.  The clean-grip reverse lunges are progressing well, I feel the imbalance in my hips correcting!
