Wk 1: Prilepin Squat/DL #2

Lunchtime:

Seated Calf Raises (125): 27.5x4, 37.5x4, 47.5x4, 57.5x4, 67.5x4, 77.5x4x5.

Evening:

10" Low Box Front Squats (245): Thanks to Tom Jenkins on Goheavy.com, I now know that the box is 2 inches high and the risers that push 'em up are, too. So this was a 10" low box front squat (aerobic step + 4 risers each side). 55x4, 75x4, 95x4, 115x4, 135x2, 150x2x11. Funny, my stance could go a little wider with the box than without. I decided to do these touch and go since my time is limited. These went up pretty quick, and my hips were really loaded on this one.

GHR w/80 lbs assist: 4 sets of 5. Easier than last session. My feet were anchored a lot better. When I got home, I was almost hobbling - - - I had nailed 'em that good. It still wasn't a cakewalk, though, so we'll see if I can do 6 reps next week.

Incline Situps: Failure at 14, 6, 6, 6 reps. Not great. I might have to do these first in my workout; I noticed that my hip flexors were giving out before my abs (probably hammered from the GHRs and box squats.).

Lying leg kicks: 4 sets to failure. Same hip flexor bullshit. I may just stick with lying leg thrusts and maybe weighted ball crunches - - - I could feel those a lot better.

Back Extensions w/3 kg ball: failure at 12, 10, 8, 8 reps.
