Good afternoon everyone,
Today was that max effort squat with 100lbs chains. I made it to 385lbs without wraps. From there I jumped to 425lbs with wraps (that is 525lbs at the top). Took me two attempts to smash this weight, but I got it. Had to get my head and technique correct ! 425 and 100 chains fail - YouTube And 2nd attempt success 425 and 100 chains good lift - YouTube |

Stopped a bit shy of my max--not allowed to risk missing the set! 385 with mini band - YouTube After this I did 3 sets with hanging kettlebells to work on stabilizers Then I jumped in on some Push Press. Got some nice lift 250 push press - YouTube |

465 two board - YouTube
465 two board. Not a bad baseline for about 3 months out (depending) After this we did 4-5 sets off a 3 board against bands for triceps. Followed by Dumbbell shoulder press (3 sets light) Then some rope push downs. Heavy weight takes it out of you! |

275 push press - YouTube
Sunday is always accessory work. Did 5x5 with the buffalo bar 285lbs. Strict pause at the bottom and practiced my leg drive as well. After this we took a break and did max effort push press (video above) got 275lbs. Can't complain with that. Last time I failed to get 275 and it took me two attempts to get 250lbs. So this is a 25lbs PR. After the push press i kinda forget to right everything down because really who cares? Some triceps with the dumbbells and bands, then some pulldowns. Yippee |
