Test on 12" Squat

Well, today was the day. I started it off tired, spent 1/2 of it at the doctor for the cough that's still there (got allergy medicine and an x-ray to see if anything was in there that shouldn't). Maybe, after all the testing last week, I was a little exhausted. Or, maybe, I just wasn't strong enough. I worked up 95x3, 135x3, 165x2, 205x1, 245x1. The 245 felt slow so rather than go for 275, I dropped it to 265. I got that but it was sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!! Slightly disappointed, but a PR is a PR and I'll take it. I learned my lesson from the last time (see Aprils blog) - - - I took a heavy max after the last set was indicative of nothing left and hurt my upper back. Not this time.

Hoist Seated Leg Curls (115): 105x3x2, 115x2x2, 125x2N.

Tried a set of GHRs and fell flat on my face. Yeah, I think my legs were recovering from today and last week.

Cybex Lying Leg Curls: 90x11, 115x8, 135x6, 135x4

Bent Leg Pull Throughs (115): 60x10, 70x10, 90x6x2

Standing Calf Raises (125): 60x10, 80x10, 90x6x2.

Oh, I thought I would add this to inspire: Andy Bolton's WR DL, along with an attempt at 1003 lbs.

Alberto,

Congrats on the PR. I'm looking forward to testing my PR on a couple of things in a couple of weeks. We'll see how that goes (bench and deadlift mainly).

Also checking out the video as well.

That video is inspirational indeed. Will have to get myself along to a couple of the future meets (watching, not competing).
