Good day. Haven't pulled heavy since the day I injured my abs in late October. Plan was to go to 495 and hit 10 singles with only 60-90 seconds rest between each. When 495 felt easy with only 45-70 seconds rest I decided to up the ante a little. 545 felt good and 585 felt really good. A bit slower than I had liked but that's going to happen when you don't pull heavy for 6ish weeks. In any event, it was a good first heavy sesh back. Weights were singing at the top on the squats. Speed felt really good. Still not sure if this is going to be beneficial to my throws but we'll see. Training just the power position depth makes sense as it allows me to go heavier while still keeping the speed. I'll keep them in the rotation for a while longer. I do feel that every couple weeks I should do a full squat session so I've got to keep that in mind. Step ups felt heavier than expected going from 235 up to 275. I'd like to get these 315+ before the start of the season. Unilateral leg strength is coming along though. No way I could I have touched this a few months ago with the same intsensity I had today. Rdls felt heavier than usual but I was pretty fatigued by then. Good day.




Was going to do some stone at lunch but decided to go home and hang with the family for a while. I'll pick it back up tomorrow.
