Wk1:Prilepin Squat/DL-Light

Felt run down a bit, but not as sore up top. So that 45 minute HIT aerobics did some good, but some bad. Ate just a bit more in the morning to boost me up. Low carb diets suck!!!

12" Front Box Squats (245): 55x6, 75x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 175x5x4. My last two sets were a grind. I have to get used to repping this high, especially with more weight and a pause.

Hoist Seated Leg Curls (115): 85x6, 90x5x2, 90x4x2. Tip: put your ass back against the chair and lean forward at the hip to keep the hamstrings stretched. Now, do the reps. Feel the burn!!!

While on the subject of killing the hams alot, quickly set up the apparatus so my hams wouldn't recover from the leg curls:
GHR w/70 lbs assist: Failure at 5 reps, 3 reps.
GHR w/80 lbs assist: Failure at 4 reps, 2 reps.

Straight Leg Pull Throughs (105): 50x10, 70x8x2, 70x6

Standing Calf Raises (125): 115x5x2, 115x4x2.

Situps: Failure at 22, 12, 12, 10. Not great, but I have to start somewhere.

Still haven't found a suitable way to setup GHRs here. You still doing them as per your video, or have you found another way to rig them up?

Same setup. Only now, since I'm doing the Add 50 program for Hoist Leg Curls, my hamstrings are already exhausted (Pre-exhaustion is my intention with these)by the time I get to these. I wanted a challenge on the GHR and judging by how my hams feel today, I got it!!!
