02/05 DE Squat

Dynamic Box Squat 205x8x2
Dimel DL's 225x4x6
EDT 6 Minute PR Zone
GHR (utilizing Stability Ball on a Bench) BWx5x6
BB Calf Raises 225x5x6

Not bad of a day, i used it more for technique work, im currently in the process of taking a wider stance in the squat so i've been gradually widening the stance over the last couple of workouts. I've been implementing some hip-mobility stretching that i lifted from T-Nation's article "Get Your Butt In Gear" by Eric Cressey. Its apparently working as now i can take a pretty wide stance without much form degradation or feeling of extreme tightness in the groin. Now i just gotta work it hard to keep my shoulder from rounding over and get the weights up......well thats about it, oh yeah i watched the superbowl, not much fun without the patriots in it but at least its football..........

The dimel Deadlift is basically a partial Deadlift, you start by doing a normal DLwhen you get to lockout is where it changes. From there you do partial DL's in a ballistic fashion to just below the knee caps, be sure to start the movement by pushing the glutes back, this isnt recommended as a ME more of a supplemental lift due to the ballistic fashion of it. If you go to elitefts excercise index section under the q&a they describe this and a ton of others.
