"Democratic Lifting"
One of the beautiful things about living in a democracy is that you are the right to make choices. Today you get to choose which lift you want to work. Your two options are listed below:
For weight:

Bench press 10-5-3-3-1-1-1-1-1 reps

or

Overhead squat 10-5-3-3-1-1-1-1-1 reps

The Overhead Squat from Patrick Cummings on Vimeo.


Post choice of lift and load for each set to comments.

If you want extra credit then do both lifts.

  1. Super Goat Day for me - thanks to Stroh's Lite for work on squat technique, I need daily work to get the form and flexibility. I did do well with multiple DUs today.

  11. Always love a good OHS day - was not a tough decision for me. Had to go after playing Ultimate Frisbee.

    10x95
    5x135
    3x165
    3x190
    1x215
    1x220
    1x225
    1x230
    1x240(F) I will get it next time. Probably should have stayed with the increments of 5 - got too ambitious.

  14. Decided to go with both, alternating the lifts. Really made for a rough shoulder day, which showed in my numbers.

    BP: 185, 225, 245, 235, 245, 245, 255, 225, 225

    OHS: 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145(f), 135, 115, 115, 115

    Tex and Kings, you guys are my freakin' heros.
