Some Pulls Against Bands

November 2, 2012
Noon

Well I did some pulls against bands at lunch today. They went alright and would have me in around 565-575# beltless. Started doing my assistance work and I just couldn't get in there mentally plus my right arm was (is) bugging me again so I called 'er quits.

Gail also came back down and I had her work on some squats again. Big improvements. Had her do 3 x 5r of just body weight squats then to the bar. Any failure is just mental at this stage and I watched her go from not wanting to hold the bar on her back to doing 5 easy reps. It's coming and I think she'll really enjoy telling negative thoughts to f off and get those successes. Finished with 15 total reps of 24k kettlebell deadlifting (about 3-4 sets).

1) Deadlift against 12" IW mini-bands ~80-85#
135 x 5, 5
225 x 3
315 x 3
405 x 3, 5

2) Front Squat
45 x 3
135 x 3
230 x 3 - Just didn't feel good so I stopped.
