Full Body Training Log: Wk 2 - Day 3
Ahh squat day!
Everyone knows the squat is king. It’s not my best lift but I love getting under the bar and putting in the work. Squatting takes a sort of mental toughness that other lifts do not. You have this bar on your back that you have to dominate or it will dominate you. If you technique isn’t tight you won’t be successful, so it’s a constant battle!
I used to hit squats at the beginning of the week but for this training cycle I decided to make them the last lift of the week. It’s been tough but I feel it’s keeping me mentally focused, paying more attention to my other lifting sessions, rest and recovery.
Here is week 2, day 3…
1 - Squat 5×5,5,5,3,3
2a - DB Split Squats 3×6ea
2b - Sandbag Cleans 3×8
2c - Handstand Pushups 3×4
3a - Incline DB Press 3×8,7,6
3b - Weighted Chins 3×10,8,8
3c - KB Thursters 3×15
I’m seeing great results so far. My strength levels are going up and I’m leaning out a little as well. I felt a lot better this week in terms of recovery. Last week was such a shock that I was dragging a little by the time I got to day 3.
I can’t wait to get back at it tomorrow!
