Week 4 Squat Day

Box Squat: 3×3@375lbs
Pull Throughs: 1×12@140lbs, 2×12@150lbs
GHR: 3×5@bw
Side Bends: 1×6@87lbs, 1×6@98lbs, 1×6@108lbs
Reverse Hypers: 3×10@bw

I’m really happy with todays workout. I was a little worried about the box squats weight but I was able to hammer out all the sets. Next week calls for 400 for 3×3 which maybe right around my limit.
Pull throughs jumped up to 12 reps so I found that 150lbs was pretty much dead on for weight on these. The GHRs dropped to 5 reps so I was expecting to add weight or bands or something. I actually tried to a couple times but just got leveled after the first rep on each one. I think the pull throughs and box squats took alot out of my hams.

  • Nice workout Stinn. That’s some heavy box squatting. Are you going to a bench or a set of boxes?

  • Stinn:

    it’s a box made of 2×4s. It’s about 10-12″ and i put some olympic bumper plates on it to raise it to the right height.

  • Nice squatting. Any more squat videos planned before the meet?

  • Stinn:

    I have two more weeks of boxes(400, 425) then I think I’m going to max out the following week. Probably suit up and everything. I’m hoping to see 550-600 and we’ll try and get that on video.

  • John McDonald:

    Great squatting, Stinn… good luck with the rest of your routine and your max attempts.
    It’d be sweet to see you get 600!

  • Jon:

    Great box squats. Best of luck with 6. Looking forward to the video! And incredible on the ghr’s. I’m nowhere near doing even 1.

  • Stinn:

    Thanks Jon. Might be seeing some heavy bench vids soon too. I started where you are too. It took me 6months or more to do them without assistance.

  • Jon:

    I sure wish we had the machine you guys have. Not saying it would help me do 1 but would still like it.

    Look forward to the bench vids.

  • Stinn:

    No need to get fancy ;) I did GHR’s on the lat pulldown machine for a long time because it was the easiest way to add assistance weight.
