D/E SQUAT

Day 4, 7 weeks out from '11 NASA state meet

SPEED BOX SQUAT (1" above parallel)
warmed up to
225/225/225/225/225/225/225/225 x 3 (mini bands choked on dumbbells)

PULL THROUGH
2 x 8

ABS
3 sets

Everything felt great today except my left elbow. I think as long as I really work on it over the weekends, I should be fine and be able to stave off the tendinitis. Winston showed up today and it's really nice having 3 people. I honestly think it goes faster. Cam really took well to the box today and is improving by leaps and bounds on his form. Another week and we should be able to move the weight up for him.

D/E BENCH PRESS

Day 3, 7 weeks out from '11 NASA state meet

SPEED BENCH PRESS (with doubled mini bands)
45/95/135/135/135/135/135/135x3

LAT PULLDOWN
4 x 10

ARNOLD PRESS
3 x 15 w/35s

CHEST-SUPPORTED ROW
3 x 10

This is the first time I've used bands. My left elbow (the one I had tendinitis issues with back in '09) was kinda sore for awhile but it's doing fine now. Next time I'll be sure to use my FAT GRIPZ as they tend to take pressure off my elbows. Cam did a lot better today on his form work and I think he's coming along great. Another week or two and he'll be moving some good weight. We need to GET TIIIIIGHT!

M/E SQUAT

Day 2, 7 weeks out from '11 NASA state meet.

WARM UP

SQUAT
135/225x5, 315x3, 365/405/445/445x2

PULL THROUGH
2 x 10

I'm coaching one of my friends on form for squat and bench press, so we don't have as much time after the main lift for assistance. Of course, that's what the Thursday and Friday are for. We'll be doing speed/form work and assistance tomorrow and Friday. It should be nice and easy.

At 6 and 5 weeks out, we'll be doing rack pulls for doubles. I think this will be good for our new guy to take a break from so much form work and get some heavier training in.

M/E BENCH PRESS (2 board PR single)

Day 1, 7 weeks out from '11 NASA KS St. meet

2 BOARD
45x20, 135/185x5, 225/275x3, (add 2 board) 315/365x2, 405x1 (missed second rep)

TRICEPS PUSHDOWNS/FACE PULLS/BICEPS CURLS
3 x 10

Hit it pretty hard today. The first rep at 405 was slow and the second one just wouldn't lock out. I'm not sure if the strength just wasn't there, my form was off, I'm just getting used to this early workout stuff, or I was just having a bad day. The next 2 weeks will be 1 board singles. WOO HOO!
