Good Friday Fun Day, bands, chains and outside sled drags, finally nice enough to start training outside, it was a good Friday after all !

LOWER SPEED DAY

SQUATS

Bar  x 10

116 lbs x 10

146 lbs x 5

166 lbs x 5

166 lbs + 40 lbs in Chains using our new e Z straps ( Box Squats )  2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2

DEADLIFTS WITH RESISTANCE BANDS

236 lbs with Orange band 2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2

GHR

20 superset with 20 Ab Crunches x 3 sets  (20 GHR were feeling pretty easy to me so I added a 35 lb plate on my chest, this is all I had in me, if something is too easy, make it harder, challenge yourself)

SLED DRAGS 

4 Trips at 70 yards per trip, once forward then back, I had forgotten how much these fry your legs, it was a long winter but spring has sprung and now for some different training techniques !

Always nice to add a little something different into your training, if it is not a challenge then you need to change something, add some resistance bands, chains, more weight or a plate on your chest, or ankle weights on your sled drags, there really is no excuse !

Here is a great article I came across on elitefts on the benefits of lifting with chains, a great read, but then again, anything you ever wanted to know about training you can find at www.elitefts.com
