Monday
Back spasms yesterday afternoon and this morning were a bit of as red flag (who knew squatting 900+ might cause a problem lol - see also neck issue below). Still once I took (found 2 Naproxen 250mg and 2 Gabapentin 300mg) 1 x 250 Nap it felt a LOT better. So off to Powerhouse. Had I had ANY issues I'd have been right back.
I also, over the weekend, set myself a new personal challenge (as they are all personal now) of Hatfield Squatting 500lbs or so x 25 reps a la Tom Platz's feat. So...
Hatfield Squat to bench as usual
bar x 20 reps, 100kg x 20 reps, 160kg/352lbs x 15 reps and 230kg/506lbs x 12 reps. The plan will be to add 1-2 reps per session. Apart from not being used to the rep range the only issue was where the bar and pads sat as the left hand side of my neck must have been compressed since last Mondays's 390 and 410kg and it HURT.
Leg Press
Stayed light., Went deeper than usual and this included a lower foot position
80kg x 20 reps, 160kg x 20 reps and 240kg x 15 reps
Seated Leg Curl
Cos why not
8p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and 20p (stack) x 15 reps
Leg Extensions
7p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and stack (20p)x 20 reps
