SS 2-15-14, 2-17-14

2-15-14 Saturday:

Squat 445lbs 5/5/4
Press 145lbsx5x3
Oly work: worked up to 120kg C&J.

My squats seem to be at a point where technique is no longer optional in the sense that if I am slightly out of the groove, I just won't get it even if I have plenty of leg strength.  I have been noticing this on the current run of SS.  If I go down into the hole a little too fast or without letting the bar stabilize it will be very very tough, and if I do get into the right groove, it feels light.

Anyway, on the last rep of the last set, I was feeling pretty good (the first 4 reps didn't feel so bad) and in my rush to get it done I came forward a little and lost it.  I think I will keep moving it up to 450 for the next workout but I will replace 1 of the 3 SS days with a light day (front squat 3x3).


2-17-14 Monday:

Deadlift 335lbs x 5 x 1
Bench 240lbs x 5 x 3
Front squat 275lbs x 3 x 3

Did deadlift first to be a little more fresh for it.  I think it's at a point where I will start to move it up and hope my upper back doesn't round.
