Leah's Log

[Leah Lutz]

Thanks, Rob. I'm excited. :-)

[Vince Cifani]

And far more interesting than complaining is that I am still reeling from my invitation and acceptance for the Masters Raw National Team. I'm going to........Texas. :-)

Outstanding! Congratulations, Leah.

Bench
130x5 @7
130x8

Deadlift
275x5
275x7 or 8? Doing some minor set up tweaking.

Good Mornings
75x12
85x12
90x12x4

One of the difficulties of set is 12 is that other people have a tendency to say things to make me laugh during a set. So then controlling that before finishing the set makes these even looooooonger.

11/2/15
12 min chins
12 min abs
Row 500 meters, rest 1 min, repeat 5 times

Hey Leah, are your GM done paused off pins in power rack? seated on bench?

[Mr_Rogers]

I'm the same way Leah. I cannot lift if someone makes me laugh. It happened twice last night and I almost missed the snatch both times haha

I like to do them like Aleksey torokhtiy teaches them (video), but I think it depends what the goal is. His programming has them as the first lift and a primary movement for loosen up the bottom position for the snatch. I've found seated good mornings really stretch out the hips and I've done those before lifting. Recently some lifters at my gym have been using the squat safety bar for good mornings.

Drop the weight on them.

I just rack the bar in a high bar position and do them from a standing position. Like this link.

People-love 'em.

Drop the weight on them.

I find it hard to beleive that you would follow your own advice here. Insert cute kitten picture. :-)

Squat
260x5
260x8

CG Bench
88x12
100x12
110x12x3
100x12

DB press (super-set with bench)
20#x12x6

And then I taught my strength class which is always great, and they are all so excited: progress from a 75# working set to 140#, repping more than a previous 1RM, exceeding squat goals by over 20#, pressing 100#x5, and learning that heavy weight is always heavy, but that we can all push ourselves to do more than we first expected.

Chins 12 min
Abs 12 min
Power Clean up to a "heavy" single. Hahaha.
Airdyne for 20 min, 20 cal every other minute*

Yeah, that didn't exactly happen. I am not quite sure about these conditioning levels. It's a change, and that's good. It's kicking my butt too, and that's probably very good.
