High Box Squat w/Chains 135x5, 225x3, 275x2, 315x1, 365x1, 405x1, 455x1, 505x1, 525x1, 555x1PR
Conv Block Pull (Mid Shin) 405x3, 455x3, 505x3
Though it looked short, this workout took around an hour, and I cut off the accessory crap so I could get my ass upstairs and watch American Idol....Fuck that!!! Seriously, I tweaked my knee and back a bit this weekend in the friggin snow and god was my back giving me shit tonight. It was so tightened up I had to lay down on the ground between sets, I figured it would be shitty, but this was no fun. So tonight I will do my accessory crap with some stretching thrown in for good measure. I also see a good Ice Down coming.....
Anyway, tightness and all I hit a PR @ 555, last weeks attempt at 550 was one as well. I forgot I added around 15 lbs of chain to my configuration which explains wy I was having a harder time with this movement, duh!! This sucker was a grind and i rounded over a bit at the mid way but managed to finish, guessing 620 at the top and around 570-580 on the box.......
Was scheduled to do Wide Stance Good Mornings, but as I am planning on possibly switching my stance for a March Meet in Ware, Ma. I figured I better get started and hit the top end of the lift as it appears to be a weakness on this stance for me. i feel extremely fast off the ground with the conventional stance but the top end gets a bit hokey for my taste....in the coming weeks I will take measures to fix this and hopefully end up with a stronger DL....
Keep it Real Lucille!!!

You are the only powerlifter I know that watches American Idol. Nice work -- you are getting dang strong. Accessory work is much over-rated anyhow.
Listen here Emily, you better zip it or I'm gonna bust out some shoot fightin technique on you and hobble your ass old school!!!
JK, thanks bub, just doing my part to make New Hampshire stronger....Peace, Love and Skidmarks!!!
Whoaa..What's with those fightin words? Want to wrastle me? Watch out - I have a supreme wrastling skillz.

Hey Chris, how are that knee and back of yours coming? If you are still up for the virtual meet, it would be not be too early to sign up. ;-)
