Pulling and Squatting

14 June 2015


High bar close stance squat 135x5, 225x5, 245x3, 280 (3+) x 11 reps

Joker sets 300x3, 320x3 - wanted to give 340x3 a shot, but decided to save my back for the pulls.

Mid-shin pull 435x1, 455 lbs. x 5 singles, 415x1

Program called for 6 singles with 455, but I barely managed to lock out the fifth, so I lowered the weight considerably for the last set. Again, upper back seemed to be the weak link. I need to either a) stop doing joker sets on the high bar squat, or b) do the pulls before the squats. Next 3 weeks I'll only be pulling once per week, so that should alleviate some of the fatigue.
