This morning I did Bent Over Rows 115x10rx5s, Shrugs 115x10rx5s, Straight Arm Lat Pulls owns 25x10rx5s, and Wide Grip Cable Rows 25x20rx5s.

DL session tonight didn’t go as well as I would have liked. I can’t seem to get my form down. I am going to read up on some different DL methods from Juggernaut, Starting Strongman,  and Andy Bolton.

Completed at Big Iron Gym with tons of other squatters.  Thanks in particular to Mallory and Wade.

This is a wonderful reference book for anyone wanting to know more about how the body works during exercise. It includes sketches of the anatomy during different exercises. It clearly shows specific muscles, bones, and nerves and how they activate to perform different tasks. It explains everything in very easy to understand way while including all scientific information needed to completely understand the material. It is one of the recommended reference materials for the National Council on Strength and Fitness Certified Personal Trainer exam. Great book.

5-3-1 Cycle#1/Week#1 SQ

During this workout (at Big Iron Gym) I went up to do 1 rep at 415lbs.  I had Justin “RedDog” Redding wrap my knees. This was my first time using kneed wraps.  It went very well.  I am excited to train more using them.  I will do a review of them at a later time.

As you can see, there is a place to write optional notes.  I am using this to track my bodyweight and body fat % each week.
