1/30/2009

This month is all singles for max effort work. We have done triples and doubles with this same exercise one and two months ago. This is an all time record for me. So things are working so far. My bodyweight was up to 260 last week. Now that our baby is born we are not eating as muh junk. I will try and take off 5-10 pounds before my next meet. I would like to compete at 242.

Thoughts
I am pushing with my feet first instead of my head. That is why you see my hips come up first in a number of my squats. We just finished using the rackable camber bar so that may have something to do with it. I am also working on lowering my box height. I took out one rubber mat for this three weeks and will remove another for the next three. I need to push up my ab and hamstring work more. I have upped my quad work which has helped my deadift so that will continue.
