Wolf's Log: From Cub to Direwolf
At WFAC for a few days. Trained with Rip late last night (10pm-12:30ish am, which is 11-1:30am for my east coast time clock).
Squat
45x5x2, 135x6, 225x6x2, 295x5, 335x5, 365x5, 405x5
Notes: Did two sets at 225 because we ended up yakking so much between sets that I got cold. Plan was 385, but I was jazzed so skipped to 405. Knee feels fine. 405 felt heavy on my back, and the first rep I tried to stay too upright as a result. Rip cued this out of me and the next 4 were better, with the last one probably being the best. Rip and I were working on the same thing (you can hear the "just like me" on the vid after my firs squat rep), and we coached each other's sets and both got our last rep as the best rep.
Snatch Grip DL
465x3x2
Notes: Rip showed me how to use the WFAC seatbelt style straps instead of the regular straps, and they're much better. Less digging in and very secure. I was pretty gassed by this point and considered stopping after the first set. But knowing there would be no conditioning as it was closing in on 1am, and that this is lighter DL week on Friday, I did the second set as well.
