Kinda scaled back on total volume today as i have been feeling a bit fried as of late, figured i might work this week into a sort of deload week in preparation for my new toys coming, really psyched about the new squat rack. I missed my 410 manta ray attempt because of this, i got off the box then stalled just above parallel (I squat off an 11 inch box by the way) then as im straining i start thinking how it would suck if i passed out while using this current rack and having the weight came crashing down on me, so i saved some energy and dumped the weight onto the second set of j-hooks. This is quite a hairy ordeal when you are totally gassed and trying to think straight. So based on that alone i feel next time i will smoke this weight. This excercise is really frustrating because you would think by placing the bar a few inches higher on your back would cause such a decrease in the poundage, oh well. Next week im on to a new seet of ME excercises for 6 more weeks so the mixing up of things should invoke some more PR's.
On another note the Patriots won so the week is off to a great start already!!! Pats win, new toys, life dont get much better...........til next time keep it dark, keep it heavy!!
