Start of triples tonight, 187.5x3x3 squat is on the cards.
LiE's Log Part 2
- Thread starter LiE
- Start date
Certainly didn't feel like a warm up. They were hard, harder than they should have been. Glutes just weren't firing properly tonight. Still, managed 4 sets 
Squats
BAR x lots x2
70x10
90x7
110x3
130x3
150x1
170x1
187.5x3 x4 - should be better next week when things are firing properly. These are all PBs, my previous triple PB was 180x3x1. Gains.
Knee band squats
120x10 x2
DBSS
BWx 12/12 x3 - these were on form tonight, solid.
Nice and simple. Took a while to do the squat working sets. My brother managed 100x3 and 105x3 squats tonight.

Basically a squat with a small resistance band between the knees.
Yea it's there to improve my glute med weakness.
Video.
Set 4 from the side (not the best view)
Here's my bro doing 100x3, he did 105x3 after this. He's still not used to squatting, but he's getting there.

Cheers Dom. Not sure where all these gains are coming from!
Lol may have farted, that core tightness!
I made him do some volume after, but yea triples will be swapped for more reps for the next few weeks.

Ironic if the nationals get pwn3d by a bunch of guys from a notionally geek forum...
Geeky powerlifters = smarter lifting
Getting them upper back calluses now.
Must be! my upper back is actually sore from squatting, good times.

Casually tripling my PB
I feel the same about your squat!

You're right, the reps are too damn low.
Suffering from some tasty glute and hammie DOMS from those deads.

Felt tired and haven't eaten enough today or the last couple days, but progress was made nonetheless. Hammies had some tasty DOMS from Friday still.
Lots of soft tissue goodness to warm up.

Makes little difference. I'm going to try the black band next week, should be fun!
Hey! I only do low reps on my primary lifts
190s weren't too bad considering I wasn't feeling great. I'm adding 2.5kg each week for the triples, should be interesting.
