Today’s session was all Supportive Lifts, not to be confused with “assistance work” or “accessory work.”
To improve strength out of the hole, I worked 3-second Pause Squats.
- 185×4
- 185×3
- 185×3
- 195×3
- 195×3
- 195×3
Overhead Press
- 110×6
- 110×5
- 110×4
Sumo DL Block Pulls
I don’t actually have blocks, so used 2 45-lb plates to give me roughly a 4″ block to set the weights on.
- 275×4
- 275×4
- 275×3
Shrugs
- 300×5, 4, 4 (with wrist wraps)
That’s a good bit of volume for me. My training for the last few months has basically been 2 lifts each day for whatever set/rep combo I felt like doing. I will probably have to eat more with this increased training volume as my weight this morning was 176.5.
