Wk4: Prilepin Midback-Light

T-Bar Rows (167): 37.5x6, 50x4, 65x4, 77.5x4, 92.5x4, 102.5x4x5. I adjusted the seat height so that it was a more elbows out than in like in the past, almost at the height of my shoulders. This was much better than the Smith barbell rows.

In Norfolk's gym, I used an actual box that was 10 inches high and it felt different than what I thought was a 10" setup at my gym here. So I borrowed a yardstick and a smaller ruler, went to the spinning room to measure several setups, and came up with this: 2 risers + step=8 inches, 3 risers + step=10 inches, 4 risers + step=12 inches, 5 risers+step=14 inches. So my old low box squats were actually 12 inches. I liked the 10" ones I was doing at Norfolk but until Friday, they were whipping my ass. So, I took a max test last Friday and maxed out at 195 lbs - - - I had been doing them based on my 245 non-box max. Stupid!!!
