been awhile

Been awhile since the last post.

Trips to China and New Hampshire derailed me a little bit. Now in the process of getting back on track.

Yesterday was my first real John Broz style workout. Looked like this.

B Squat:
1RM 385
5s x 1r @ 340

Bench:
1RM 225
5s x 2r # 180


I was worried the bench sets wouldn't be enough stimulation at 180. After all, I was doing sets of 5 with 200 before. Then I realized that this was a dynamic workout.

F=M*A

It was o.k. to lose a lighter weight because instead of grinding out a heavy bench (lower M), I was using more acceleration (higher A. The higher force balanced out the lower mass.

The 385 wasn't a new PR, but I was happy with it since it matched my old PR and I'm still getting back into the swing.
