    Well, I decided to try to learn the squat the way Rip teaches. I think I'm probably close to genetically maxing out my oly squat. When I had hip problems with the low bar squat in the past, I was using a Westside (i.e. exagerrated wide stance, sit way back) style. Moreover, I've been burned out as hell recently and need a change of pace. I'm tired of squatting 3x/week, and the last few months I've just found myself generally unmotivated. So, I took a couple of light weeks recently and resumed some real training this week. For now, I'm planning to squat either once per week or three times every two weeks. I started light on the squats on Tuesday. They felt very easy but looking down was awkward. That said, I could really feel my hamstrings working better than I've ever felt before during a squat. They are sore as hell today. I have confidence I'll ultimately squat more this way, my posterior chain will be stronger, and I can avoid the hip problems that have plagued me in the past. Thus far this week:

    Tues 1/31
    Squat 315 3x5 (nice and easy. Just going to add 10 lbs per workout for a while and give my body a while to recover from the last year of feeling chronically overtrained.)
    Front squat - did doubles starting at 135, adding 20 lbs per set, and topping out at 265 (again, very, very easy)
    Hypers 3x15
    Ab pulldowns 3x10


    Thurs 2/2
    Bench 295 4x3 (Good day on this. Felt great today)
    Db Row 120 2x16, supersetted w/ bench 225 2x5

    2/4/12

    3 good workouts in a week is just too much to fucking ask.

    3.5" deficit deadlift miss at 585. I had the bar as high as I needed to have it and just needed to push my hips forward and the bar slipped out of my left hand...while I was using a hook grip. Chalk this one up to nothing but stupidity. I didn't have enough chalk on my thumbs. Will try again in 1 week.

    Push press 205 3x5, 225 3x3 (decided to punish myself with shitload of volume)

    Pullups bwx5, bw+60x5, bwx5

    Db curls 45 4x5

    some planks

    Pretty good day today. Been pushing the deadlifts hard lately. Will take at least 3 week off from pulling. I usually get stronger when I do this.

    2/18/12 went to train strongman with a bunch of my buddies today. nice change of pace.

    12" log clean each rep and press 210x4, 220x2 (rep left in tank on each)

    yoke - several runs up to 570x80 ft in 17 seconds (good god, I have gotten slow on this)

    220 farmers walk 50 ft, 500 tire 5 flips in 28 seconds (pretty fast here)

    Did some stone shouldering with stones from 165 to 240 w/out tacky. The 240 was a bitch. I shouldered it for 3 singles but also missed a lot of reps. But I hate tacky and there's no way I was putting it on for training.

    --Good day today. The girlfriend had a good day as well, hitting 230x5 on deadlift and getting her feet wet on the events.
