Block 12, Wave 2 - DL

DB 3E Jumps

5xBW to 6"

3x30 to 7.5"

3x30 to 9"

3x30 to 10.5"

3x30 to 12"

Probably should have done an extra w/up set with either 30s at a lower height or BW at a higher height.  Oh well, I think that about maxes out the height I can get to with 30 lb DBs without pulling my knees up for now.  I'll repeat it once or twice more to see if I can squeeze any more improvements out before finishing up this training block.

Axle DL

12x70

6x160

4x270

3x360

3x405

3x460

8x520

Video is of last week's top set of squats at 430 with total shite technique (which I didn't realize until I watched the video) and this week's top set of tugs, which I was happy with since switching to the axle.

Banded SS Yoke Bar Box Squats

8x65 + avgs

3x155 + avgs

6x3x245 + avgs

My right knee was grumbling at me during this for some idiotic reason, but it felt better when I closed down my stance width on the later sets.

2{15xBW - micro/20x305}

Incline Reverse Crunches

2x15xBW

5xBW - Everything on the left side of my abs cramped up and I tried again after it relaxed and it came right back so I stopped.
