Dynamic effort day
8x3 good mornings @ 135. Felt great. Should have gone heavier. Emphasis on speed.
Some benching at light weights, but when I tried to go heavier with some chains it aggravated my injured shoulder. So I stopped. This injury has already screwed up my first PL meet next month. No sense making it permanent.
Leg presses on one of those diagonal sled-type things, butt raised off the seat to make the press harder. Gimmick was this:
5 reps @ 90
5 @ 180
5 @ 270
5 @ 360
Strip off the weight & repeat the whole cycle three times. Emphasis on going as low as possible and driving the sled up explosively. A woman using the calf raise machine next to me asked me if I wanted her to put on the last remaining 45# plate, ‘cause that way I’d have all the available weight on the sled. Heh.
The interesting thing at the lightest weight was to go as low as possible. I bottomed it out at one point. From this I suspect that my back squat proper has likely improved a bit recently.
