Storm's lagging log

[Storm]

both below parallel, SQ are more of a "pass in PL meet" depth while Fronties are ATG/Olympic

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Watchout for the depth on squats though, check out the difference between a IPF squat parallel and a WPO/USPF whatever, big diff, ATG is way to go

 

[ironheart]

agree with PV. in terms of powerlifting IPF should always be the standard imo.

 

[Storm]

"IPF Raw depth" is the minimum depth I aim for, i consider that to be pretty deep if you ask me. I'm not competing in anything anyway and I use to go atg for most sets, I just force myself to go no-more-no-less than that in my heaviest sets in order to be able to grind maybe one more rep.
What you won't catch me doing are those less-than-half reps most people do (of the few people who actually squat in comercial gyms nowadays).

 

[ironheart]

well in that case, you're doing it right

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Good job, ipf might seem deep, but hip under knee is below parallel, no argument there, just make sure you hit depth, eventhough u dont compete, its the best way to squat regardless, best overal development and muscle recruitement!

 

[El Freako]

Its only deep if your balls touch the floor.

Phase 7 week 3 day 3

After my fail to triple 190Kg last week it was clear I wasn't going to do more than 1 rep with those 200Kg planned for today's last set, only thing I wanted was get that one rep done because I failed this "psicological weight" last time I tried to pull it.

Deads 70Kgx10 , 130Kgx2 , 160Kgx5 (first 5-3-1 set) , 180Kgx1 (weight of the second 5-3-1 set), 190Kgx1 (added belt, easy!), 200Kgx1 YES!!!!! i'll still reset my deadlift weight for next phase but at least i've got my ****ing 200Kg pull at last!! and I reckon i had something more in me as it was a clean rep, with good lockout.
more deads: 100Kgx15 , 100Kgx12 (done mostly for grip)
calves 2 sets
standing abs 3 sets
