Made it home about 6, then downed some chicken. I am still hung over, which means it was a good night!
Party went well...as I said, meat heads make for fun people to be around. We drank way too much beer, stayed up way too late, and ate way too many burgers. We went to bed at 4 am and I was up at 10 am and in the gym by noon. I don't know what all the fuss is about training with a hangover. It sucks...I hate it...and I should have known better.
We deloaded, so it was a quick workout. Plus, I was still half in the tank and had a marching band in my head, so it made it even more fun.
-Safety Bar squats: wide stance, worked up to a single with 495 in briefs. I cant even begin to explain the torque of this bar when the weights get heavy. When you get in the hole, it just wants to dump you on your face! Went to 535 and missed it twice. Actually, I got CRUSHED! Good thing we use the suspension straps from Spud Inc. SPUD! There is no way to catch someone with this bar and heavy weight, you just get tossed forward with no warning.
-Reverse Hypers: 380 x10, x10, x10, x10
-Glutehams: bodyweight x8, x8, x8
Hip is terrible. Hurts like hell and back and I am not sure what to do about it. I might just need rest-I have been hitting heavy since late March in preparation for the this meet and I just might need to take a couple days off. I am thinking of not deadlifting this week and just letting this hip get 7 solid days of rest. Right now it hurts worse then it ever has.
I have some safety bar video footage so everyone can see how the bar should be used in order to get the torque from it. I will cut it up and get it posted sometime tomorrow.
