Man, what a killer workout. I must say I was pretty pleased with my squat numbers considering I had not done them in a few months. In fact I really think I could have thrown on another 20 pounds to my 1RM. I was completely surprised how easy I pushed up the 242. I have actually been slightly concerned with my squat/deadlift numbers as I felt they were lacking in comparison to my upper body but last nights workout has really given me some confidence. Really looking forward to the next A workout now.
The other nice thing I noted was that even though I was squatting more than I ever have, my back didn’t hurt one bit. The bar felt completely comfortable which I attribute to the awesome H2 program which has built up my muscles in that area.
Anyway, the superset of BSS’s and the Step Ups (with no rest!!!) ensured that I wont be walking properly for a good few days. I can’t remember the last time my legs felt so wrecked, but I love it.
Now I am really looking forward to hitting the bench in the next workout!
Cheers,
Jarrod
