T-LOG UPDATE JULY 5th 2011

1035lbs (11 plates a side)  - feels good to hold on the back


Here's what has been going on with my training over the last week and a bit.
My shoulder has been bugging me a little bit so I am keeping the loads to a minimum based off of how confident I feel in it.  The rec fem is still very sore in the hole of my squat so I am avoiding the hole with any weight above 60 %.  Since I am doing 1/4 squats....  I LOVE GOING HEAVY...and it makes zero sense to do partial range of motion with a weight I can do ful range of motion with...  so here's an excuse for me to move some serious weight(paritally).


I like the safety squats because I am not squatting heavy and the safety squat(when I don't use my hands) allows me to force adaptations without needing maximal type loads.
Hopefully soon I will be squatting more and more progressively until I feel confident that I will not get injured.  For now, around 19 weeks out from world's in Latvia, my main focus is just to be healthy and able to move...although it is always difficult for me to not want to move heavy weights.....so I do where I can.
