02/13: Blasted Legs - Strength

1 Warm-up set Deep Bodyweight Squats, and then some Jump Squats
1 Warm-up Set of 10 with 155lb practically all the way to the ground
1 Set of 8 Really Deep Squats with 205lb
5 Sets of 5-6 Deep Squats with 250lbs
1 Set of 8 Really Deep Squats with 205lb
1 Cool Down Set of 10 with 155lb practically all the way to the ground

Did 3 sets of Deadlifts with 250, but I cannot hold it - I need to buy straps - ugh

Then just for fun, I did a conditioning exercise I found that I could not wait to try:

Goblet Squat, Bootstrapper, Deck Squat Combo with a Kettlebell. I used a 25lb KB (the heaviest we have at the gym - lame), and I did 3 sets of 10. Really cool exercise, and harder than it looks.

2/14: Upper Body - Strength

I Did Bench Press - I still suck on this lift!!!
Warmup set 135lbs x10
185lbs for 1 rep - ugh. I'll be over 200 again soon enough...
I did 5 sets of 3 reps @ 175lbs

Then I did Hang Cleans with Push Presses. I tied not to get my legs involved, but that is simply impossible, however, I did not go down and do the full front squat. 5 Sets of 5 combo moves @ 135lbs

5 Supersets of Pull-ups & Dips - 6 reps each (both weighted @ 25lbs)

3 Sets of 5 on Freemotion Lat machine @ 160 lbs

Good, solid workout!
