One of my hobbies is training at new, cool gyms. My best friend since we were kids, Nick had the day off, so we decided to go to Upgraded Industries in Mentor. They have an Elitefts monolift, and it was squat day, so I was in. The gym was pretty sweet and tucked back in an industrial park. Only con- there wasn't a squat bar and my last couple sets I could feel the plates bouncing a little bit.
Squat:
bar x 5
135x5
225x4
315x3
365x2
405x1
455x1 - maverick wraps on for this and all of the following sets
495x1
545x1
585x1 - Moved really well and despite the lack of squat bar and the plates bouncing, it moved fast and I felt strong.
This is what I've worked up to the past couple weeks. I've just been focusing on trying to move it faster and better every week.
Accessory work:
5x20 reverse hyper
3x20 seated chest supported rows.
I would definitely go back to that gym. It was a cool set up, good energy, even in the middle of the day when we went.
