And here is last Thursday's workout.

Waterbury TBT
Week #6 Workout #3 - Thursday 10/25/07


Good Morning
45 x 10
95 x 8
115 x 12 x 2 sets (+10 lbs)

Front Squat
135 x 8
185 x 12
205 x 12

Pull Ups (pronated)
BW x 6
BW x 4
BW-75 x 8

Hammer Strength Iso-lateral wide chest
90 x 10
200 x 12 (+20 lbs)
230 x 12 (+50 lbs)

I decided that I do not like hack squats. I feel that they put too much pressure on my lower back and decided to just stick with front squats.

I had energy to burn at the end of this workout and threw in some extra random leg work. I did some leg curls just for the fun of it. I don't remember exactly how much I did, but I worked up to the full stack (240lbs?) for 8 reps.

I also decided to try out the other hack squat machine to see how it felt. I did a few sets with some light weight and still was not happy with the feel of the movement. I was still happy with my decision to do the front squats in place of these.

Then I did some pistol squats. By this point I didn't have much left and only got one set of 10 with my right leg and couldn't even finish the set with my left.

Tonight I start week 7 where I will have the pleasure of doing 3 sets of 18 reps on both front squats and step-ups!
