3×3 Week 1, Day 3
Close Stance Squat: 5×5@315/142.9
Legs Up Bench: 6×6@225/102.1
Sumo Deadlift: 5×5@324.1/147
My lower left back was tightening up by the time I finished squatting, I think my evil glutes cause this. Everything today was easy and I was going to do 7 sets of squats but the lower back slowed me down. Hopefully a couple days off here will get me back up to speed.
Korte 3×3 Week 1, Day 2
Box Squat: 5×5@290/131.5
CGB: 7×6@205/93
3″ Platform Deadlifts: 7×5@308.6/140
I changed up the exercises each day and because each of these are harder than their pure version I dropped the percentage for each. My sore glutes really showed themselves during the squat, causing alot of pain in the glutes themselves but also my hamstrings and my lower back. I need to get these things under control.

I’ve added a “security image” to comments. Unfortunately I was getting so much damn comment spam that I had to. If you have any problems email me and let me know.
If you don’t want to be bothered with it just create an account and you won’t have to enter it each time.
Korte 3×3 Week 1, Day 1
Squat: 5×5@335/152
Bench: 6×6@225/102.1
Deadlift: 6×5@341.7/155
Well this is the first day of the 3×3 and it went pretty well. I did minimum sets on squat and bench but had more energy than I expected during deadlifts, I would have done the full 8 sets but my hands were just killing me after the 6 so I had to stop.
Deadlift Analysis and Winnipeg Video
Anyone who has read this page for any time knows that deadlifts have always been a sore spot for me, I’ve never been able to pull what I really think I should. Well this meet in Winnipeg went much better and going over the video I have an idea why.
First here is a picture of my attempted 577.6/262 pull in Calgary back in January:
You can see how pitched forward I am, my head is down, my chest is pointing to the floor and my ass is high. This never looked weird to me until now…
544.5/247 pull in Winnipeg
What a difference, my head and chest are up and my ass is way down there. I’m in much more of a squat stance than the Calgary pull.
566.6/257 pull in Winnipeg
The same thing here, my ass is a little higher but nothing like Calgary, and I stay in that position as I pull it up and into lockout.
I’ve YouTubed my video from Winnipeg. The video was actually created by Kain, a fellow lifter.
