Braaq's Training Log

Hey Blake, keep up the weights man

 

[samutown]

dude! How the hell can you squat 10+ reps at 400+ after leg press? Sicko!

 

[Braaq]

I think I am going to try to start this up again. It was a nice way to keep track of my sessions and also motivation to show up and "do work"

12/14/2009 - Leg Day
Wasn't feeling a heavy day, but I walked in on my friends squatting with bands and I got that itch to try it out.

Apparently at the top these bands added ~100lbs, this will not be included on the weights I post for squats.

Squats:
135 x 8 (warm up)
225 x 6 (warm up)
315 x 6 (warm up)
405 x 13
405 x 10

Nice and deep, towards the end the last 1/3 or concentric movement got very difficult. I liked how it pulled me below parallel. Felt great, have to get use to it springing me back when I unrack the bar with the heavy weight. I am thinking next time I will try 495 with the bands.

Leg Press:
20 plates x 15
24 plates x 12

FST-7 with Leg Extensions with 200lbs. The burning!

Sitting Leg Curls:
3 sets of 150 x 12

One Leg Curls:
90 x 12
100 x 12
110 x 10

I squatted 500 for 10 just the other week, so I still got it!
But with my first attempt at squatting with bands I didn't want to go crazy and chance injuring myself

 

[El Freako]

I've never tried band squats myself. I hope to have my own garage gym set-up in a few years though and bands and chains will definitely be a part of it.

I highly recommend it. I loved it and will be incorporating it into my routine more often.

He had a whole bag, these were purple and they were rather hard to put on and off the bar.

This workout sucked, I moved some descent weight but I didn't get a pump or feel like I did anything. I recently stopped drinking half an EndoRush prior to my workouts and the past two (chest and back) have been shitty. I am going to continue to waste my money on EndoRush to get back into my good sessions.
