Maximum Strength Phase 4
Workout A - Lower Body
Monday 1/26/2009
Warmup #2 and the usual rolling.
Anderson Front Squat
1-2 minutes rest between sets
1x1 x 255
1x1 x 245
1x1 x 245
1x1 x 245
1xF x 245
Yes, that is a big fat F on the last set! Ever have those days where you just don't have it? Whatever "it" is, "it" was not with me today. I think I know why though. Needless to say, I was disappointed with myself. I see that the AFS was only for 2 weeks so I'll have to try them again some other time down the road...............way down the road.
Speed Deadlift - 8 x 1 @ 65%
30 seconds rest between reps
8x1 x 255
Nothing like pounding out few good deadlifts to make up for a missing a lift.
Barbell Reverse Lunge with Front-Squat Grip
60 seconds rest between sets
2x8 x 105 /side
1x8 x 95 /side
Yep, these have officially been added to the list of "Wow, I can think of so many other things that don't suck as much as these!" Things like, I don't know; lighting your hair on fire, nailing your foot to the ground, stepping on a bee hive? That kind of stuff.
Pallof Press
60 seconds rest between
3x8 x 80 /side
One thing I've learned from this program is that you end up doing all kinds of stuff that nobody has ever seen before. And you get all the looks to go along with it!

Have you ever had one of those nights when you wake up at like 1:30 in the morning and can't get back to sleep? Yeah, that was Sunday night/Monday morning for me. I finally couldn't stand it after a while and just got up at about 3:15 and stayed up. That's probably why I didn't have it today at the gym - I was exhausted. Phooey.
