Squat/Deadlift Session

October 11th, 2009

Today is sunday and on sunday’s I travel up north to John Bott’s house to train with a dedicated group of powerlifters.  We squat and deadlift on sundays to prepare for our meets.  Here is what I did today…..

Box Squat w/chains – 135 x 3,

add chains (3) – 185×3, 225 x3

add briefs         – 275x2x2, 315x2x2, 365x2x2, 405x1x2

*this was performed using a foam box,  we usually use this on the first week of our 4 week cycle, then switch to a hard box for a heavy single with suit bottoms on, then we deload with straight weight and then take a full competition suit squat.

Sumo Deadlift w/bands – 225x1x2, 255x1x3, 275x1x3, 295×1, 315×1

* this was performed on a sumo base jumpstrecth platform using mini bands doubled up.

Accessory Work:

1A. Back Raise – 25 lbs. x 15-20 x 4

1B. Standing Abs – 100 lbs. x 12-15 x 4

I had a heavy suit last sunday so I kept it fairly light today.  After this session I usually go home and do some sort of light activity like taking a bike ride or walking Harley with Juliet Deane.
