11/16/11 - offseason 2/2 ME lower

weight training

ME rack pulls from knee cap- up to 725x1, missed 745 because straps pulled loose
RE back squat- 135x10, 225x10, 275x20, 335x10
12" step ups- 135x10x3

notes: Happy with the 725 pull, pissed about the straps. When I got in the 6s I knew they were going to be a problem as they were unravelling in my hand. I was using some new ironmind straps and the material always did feel a little off, a bit smooth and almost slimy-esq. Back to the old school harbingers. I played it very conservative on the squats. I honestly don't think I could have gotten 315x20, however, I do know I could've gotten 365x10. Obv I didn't know this at the time or I would have loaded the bar up. The goal for this in my 2nd cycle of training will be 315x20 and 405x10. By the time all is said and done in march/may-ish, I'd like to be hitting 405x20 and 495x10. Big goals, yes, but its all the more rewarding when I hit the goal. I loaded 225 up for the step ups and my legs were too fried to go anywhere so dropped it down to 135. Felt pretty good. Nice leg pump and lower back is toast.

foam rolled/stretched in the evening.

cals = 3480 per my cal program, but I didn't include the 3-4 cups of pasta salad I had with dinner. I'm guessing would be real close to 4k. Protein was at 300g. I'm satisified with this intake.
