Training -- Mon 11/11/2013

Today is remembrance day, wherein at 11am on the 11th of the 11th we take a minute of silence to remember and honour our fallen soldiers.

Turns out I'm a jerk, because, not realising what time it was, at 11am I was belting out "Please" by Staind in my car on the way to the gym.

Squats

10xBW
10x20kg
5x60kg
5x90kg
3x110kg
1x130kg
2x3x145kg -- They call that a PB.
3x130kg

Paused Squats/Calf Raise

3x5x110kg/10x320lb

SLDL/Calf Raise

3x5x110kg/6x360lb -- The big question: is your RDL still an RDL if you have a dead stop at the bottom of each rep? Turns out that's how flexible I've become without actually doing any flexibility training. RDL's are a stretch unto themselves. Since I was doing these with a dead start from the floor on each rep, I'll call them SLDL's when this happens.

GHR/Calf Raise

3xBW/12x220lb -- First ever reps without any assistance. This makes me happy.
2x2xBW/12x220lb -- Went for 3 reps on my middle set of GHR's: got stuck halfway up and had to put my hands down on the pad to assist myself back up, so not counting that rep.
