#topsets

Week 9 Day 5 to close out the week. #deadlifts were the only barbell compound today. Followed by DB #benchpress and some lat work. I focused heavy on cranking myself into position today, Was reminded after seeing @joesullivanpowerlifter’s story. Hope I can carry that forward into my heavier lifts. #topsets deadlift+deadlift from below knee @ 410x4x1+1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Buy6rOAAsQP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e2h3ebd6xtjy

Kizen Training: week 9 day 1 Lundi Gras edition After #mardigras weekend in Nola, a heavy(heaviest of program so far) squat and bench day was not what I had in mind. But I pushed through and it was actually pretty good. #topsets #Squats @ 445x4x2 #benchpress @ 330x2x1 And remember kids, always thank your #spotter. https://www.instagram.com/p/BunWt--gCRq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nkw8vel0meu5

Week 8 day 5 Murder. Hardest pull day of the program so far. Exposed a lot of weaknesses in my form. I did not like the way my back was turning to “pooping dog” and the way I was shifting to my right. I think it was because of the power in pushing in my left(which is evident in the overuse nagging I’ve been getting.) #topsets Imaginary chain #deadlift @ 385x4x2 Decline #benchpress @ 275x3x2 Block pull deadlift @ 520x2x1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bueu4txAp2w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rhgva6jg0x5t

Week 6, Day 5 #topsets #deadlift w/bands @ 380x4x4 Speed #benchpress @ 200x4x5 Saw a post by @callousedhandspower to one of his clients about pulling the bar off the rack for bench in order to maintain tightness in the lats. So I decided to try that cue. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9Rk85gHaV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uhf5ki05ho6e

Week 6 day 4 #topsets #Squats (w/ chains*) @ 370x5x4 #benchpress @ 290x4x3 *dont have chains, so just squats Everything felt pretty good today. Squats were flying, after warm ups. Benching felt a little tender in my elbows but I went back to my slightly wider grip and it felt better. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt5sINjgt5O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hq8r3wgmmfld
