SSB Box Squats 460x3 & Straight Leg Deadlifts using Tips From Steve Goggins (Video)

*6 Weeks Out from Lexen Xtreme Fall Classic*

Today's max effort movement was SSB Box Squats. Last time I did these I was pretty burnt out and got 460x2, and today I was happy that I was able to get a solid 460x3. This was followed by sets of 10 with straight leg deadlifts, using a controlled negative and light touch n go, something Steve Goggins and Casey Williams talk about a lot to help build hamstring strength.

Notes for Improvement: Drive head back right away off box for squats.

Last Week's Training: Deficit Deadlifts up to 550lbs

Next Week's Training: SSB Close Stance Good Mornings

Doing some light, high-rep Straight Leg Deadlifts w/ 315lbs after max effort Squats. Working on lowering the weight smooth and using a light touch on the floor after re-reading some good reminders on this from @gogginsforce & @thecaseywilliams (who both KNOW deadlifting!) Hamstrings are slowly getting stronger. #team #elitefts #powerlifting #deadlift #squat #conjugate #training #strength #technique #fitness #akbarbell #akronbarbell #ohiouniversity #gym #ourec
