Happy Easter!  Now go squat...

-S-Cubed Straight bar: 2 blue bands, 2 green bands, 2 choked purple bands, Bar weight = 245 x2, x2, x2, 340 x2, 400 x1, 440 x1.  Lot's of weight!  Wore loose briefs and belt and my new APT knee sleeves (which by the way worked awesome and my knees weren't sore at all).  This was a house at lockout, in the upper 800s.  400 I got forward on it and almost missed it.  I actually had to grind it up slow.  440 I got my form right and hit an ammonia cap and it came up easier then 400.

-Glute hams: 53 pound kettlebell x6, x6, x6, x6

-Reverse hypers: 200 x20, x20, x20

-Shrugs: 335 x20, x20, x20
with
-Head harness: 35 x20, x15, x15 back of neck
and
-Manual resistance: x10, x10, x10 for front of neck.  This sucked.  Cullen put a hand on my chin and a hand on my forehead and I had to push up against his resistance, then fight the resistance on the way down.  Cramp city! 

-Standing abs: 120 x10, x10, x10

Done.  It was nice to have Lance and Trevor back with us.  No more walking weights out!  Trevor hit an was 230 x1 in the squat.  He is going to be strong as hell one day. 

Next Saturday I start heavy benching with those freaks.  I cannot wait!  Next Sunday will the the patented "Cullen De-Load" system of not training.  That is the way he de-loads, he just doesn't train.  Old Head Greg is doing a bench meet so we will have Sunday off.

Start my morning manager shift tomorrow at 07:30.  Will be nice to get home by 5 and be able to train at night again.  I am so much stronger at night, and it will be a great stress reliever.  I have to start right out busting balls by re-bidding work shifts and setting up the spring-summer schedule.  Someone is going to hate me...

Right now I am going to lay my fat ass on the couch.  I ate too much ham at the in-laws.  Good post workout feeding.  Hope everyone had a good holiday!

that is some incredibly strong work, With that much band tension, it must feel much much heavier than what the site lists the bands at. Any chance you will post a video of that set up?

Thanks for continuing to drop in man, means a lot to me because i have been learning from your writing for years.
