Chris: Thursday

Yesterday did a pretty tough boot camp, with lots of stairs and some burpees.


Today - 20 rep squat WO w/ 220lb. Ugggh. The bar got a little low around rep 5 which made resting in lock out later on a little unpleasant. Made it through and fought off the urge to purge.


Followed with 3 sets of press at 85 lb. Reps = 10, 8, 9


Jump shrugs using a piece of equip. similar to what's pictured below. 2x5 @ approx. 160 and 1x5 @ approx. 210.

According to the NCSA 220x20 = 352 1RM

Attempt next week?

I would like to see that jump squat

Sam - I'm going to press on one more week w/ the 20 rep. program. Also, don't put too much stock in those calculators...

Mel- it's jump SHRUGS, rather than squats. You can see HG athlete Ryan Vierra doing them in this video (about 6:30 in). He works up to 605x3!
